Good info Terry. i've worked in building control enforcement and bringing cowboy builders to court particularly part E (sound transmission) and part b ( fire stopping) . If buying a property on a terrace , semi detached or in a block of apartments , people need to consider or check for sound transfer possibilities ( check wall or floor xonstruction detail ). Ive also seen people offload problem houses on to other unsuspecting buyers. These things won't be observed in strutural surveys. Do research Caveat emptor all the way.
Hey Terry, love the videos. I live in the USA and looking to move home to the west of Galway. I’ve found a property in interested in. What would you recommend for financing, can I get financing through Irish banks or should I source financing this side? I appreciate any info
@@terrygorry In the description, you can add the following - 01:12 Tip 1 (For example - First set would be minute and second set would be seconds, and Tip 1 would be the description for the timestamp). Also, thank you for the video!
Hi Terry, thanks for the information you provide it is very informative. I am thinking about retiring back to Ireland after many years away. How well can I rely on the prices listed with property sites online? Are they a good indication of the final price you might expect to pay or could you offer below the listed price or is it expected that the price will go higher? Thanks, Harry
Very informative video :) thank you for that. I have a question...I'm from Germany and will soon move to Ireland with my wife and son with our caravan. And we want to buy an empty space or a house which needs to be refurbished I guess. Will it be difficult for us as non-citizens at that time to buy a house or maybe not even possible. At first we're thinking of a Mobilehome for the first time while restoring the old house with an existent planning permission.Getting a job is required, I know. I saved a lot of money already to buy a place...
No problem buying as non citizens, provided you have the Euros. EU citizens have freedom of movement, too, so no problem living and working in Ireland 👍
Hey Terry, thanks for the video, I find it very userful! Could you please advise if it is possible to convert apartment in leasehold (450 years) to freehold? How much it cpuld cost? Thanks!
New houses are of questionable quality also. I know there are standards now but I would go by experience. If new houses are better these days, let time prove it and please don`t rely on what the authorities say. My tip would be to buy gold and wait for a recession. Ireland`s economy cannot stay strong if there is a global downturn. If Ireland`s economy weakens, the government will not be able to maintain it`s rigged market because buyers and banks will be in difficulty and things might turn nasty if there are bank bail-ins. During the Weimar Republic, 25 ounces of gold could buy a city block.
Wow! Any idea when this apocalypse will be upon us? Maybe investing in a bunker, lots of preserved food, guns and ammo would be the sensible thing to do.
you should get a structural engineer not only for older property but especially for newer property. new built homes are more than not substandard. always get those new properties inspected.
Hey Terry, thanks for all the great content. What are your thoughts on buying a listed/landmark building? Is it something you’d avoid if your plans were to make a lot of internal changes? Thanks again.
I would probably avoid it, to be honest, but would need to know the details. Some buildings have different degrees of being listed or landmark. So it would depend on the building and the local authority and the proposed works.
Mr. Gorry do you cover co donegal? I will be buying a home in that area in the coming days and need a solicitor prior to our first viewings. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for your video. Very informative as always I am an resident in Ireland and my brother wants invest in the Ireland rental market from overseas (Non EU) What is the course of action ? Can I set up a company where he can deposit money to buy property in Ireland Thanks Terry
Affordable housing schemes new builds , just got offered one and really unsure how to liase with builder as its all off plan yet fear being screwed over, am i being silly ?
Mr. Gorry do you cover Co Donegal? I am selling a property (Just land) in that area and a developer has confirmed with his booking (deposit) with my solicitor, my question for you is is it the normal procedure to have to wait 12 month for the developer to get planning approval if they have already newly zoned the location (last November 2023 it was approved for the new zoning)??
Hi Terry I would love to hear your thoughts on buying land with a pre-existing property, demolishing it and building a brand new house. I’ve found such a property on 5 acres but dislike the house and want to knock it and rebuild a new house elsewhere on the land. Is it do-able? Thanks 🙏
@@terrygorry I will, thank you. I'm about to buy an apartment in Dublin and have an issue. Basically the common areas of the development (eg walkways, lifts, parking area etc) have not been transferred into the name of the management company as the development went into receivership before the transfer took place. According to my solicitor this is not ideal and if I'm to sell the property in the future and the transfer of the common areas has not been dealt with at that point, this may cause an issue with the prospective purchaser. What do you think? Is that a serious issue? Should I walk off the deal in your opinion?
