I love your videos Maggie! You speak so much sense in this messed up world. Can’t wait to see you on RTE again! You give young people like myself so much hope. One day I plan to live in Leitrim or Roscommon. Keep doing what your doing, your amazing take care! Ps Tipperary looks lovely too Take Care
Having a good solicitor who is on your side is absolutely essential. I bought my cottage in Co Mayo a couple of years ago, if it wasn't for my solicitor it would have all gone wrong.
Hi love your Chanel . What I find so hard to get my head around is this I see a price I like call agent to say I’ll take it at the price it’s listed at . And the agent reply’s that the price is at a way higher price lol. So there is a bidding war on . So really every property is in an auction bidding war and yet the price on the add is still at the low price . So my point is that it’s so time consuming and tiring playing games . I was brought up to believe that when you see a price tag that is what you should be paying , it would be so much easier. Thanks again
Hello! I am planning to live in Ireland in a couple of years, it has always been my dream and this video helped me a lot! I would love to see more in your channel about this type! Thank you so much!!
Maggie - what a star! Been following you from day one via South Africa. Been looking at Irish properties now for 2 years... MAJOR and VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM we have is the SERVICE or LACK THEROF offered by the estate agents (supposedly representing the vendor!). We have given up on email replies, we call - leave several messages on the agents' phones - NO CALL BACK. Even leave messages at the office - NO RETURN. Right now we have a property in our sights in CO. Mayo - and we want to make a cash offer... GUESS WHAT! No Agent to be had. Anyway - we will continue in our endeavours and keep you posted! Would love to invite you for coffee one day.... lol!
Question : at which step should you have a solicitor? Obvs for an offer but should you have one engaged while waiting on AIP? Any difference if a cash buyer?
Thanks for this video, I just moved to Ireland but my plan is to stay here for a long time I will start my long term plan to buy a house, your videos are amazing and really helpfull! thanks
Thanks for sharing price ranges for conveyancers/solicitors - I had a quote at 1750 Euros PLUS all the other fees, which seemed excessive (even though I'm looking to move from the UK)
I'm going to watch this video so many times over! Thanks a million 🙏 (is it weird that I rather watching your videos that Netflix now?) Haha. I'm subscribed to your newsletter already and it's wonderful so thank you for that as well!
Thank you so much for uploading this, Maggie! Such clarity especially for how things are done here in Ireland. I feel like I'm sitting down talking to my cool young aunt hehe! Love your Instagram but this video was so helpful and informative, delighted to have found your UA-cam channel too!
Gearing up to go through the process soon (whenever we're back to some kind of normal). Seems like a terrible time to be buying right now, dreading the process but dreaming of the day its all said and done.... Great video
Hi Molly you should upgrade the vid as having access to solicitor for convenience is not required it all happens online. John Neville ballingeary dublin handled my sales and I have never seen or met him. A lot of stuff is digital even registration and deeds are gone and going that way.
In the states. Each state has Bar Associations. They keeps abreast of the integrity of the solicitors. Some states give 3 solicitors referrals for FREE. The referrals consultations in NYC cost about $35 - 40. A time of approximately a 1/2 hr. Do you have a similar service in both parts of Ireland? Does the Republic and the North of have land Registery systems? So one can find/research freehold land in Ireland ?
Is it true A PPS is needed to buy property in Ireland? The online application states the "process isn't availbel for relocation"! Does this mean it has to be done through a solictor rather than online? Maybe you could do a video about it - please :)
What about Yanks? My Grandfather was born in Roscommon in 1895 but it's always been my dream to live in a cottage. I love how you don't need a script, ever :)
I have a confusion. Some of the houses are only available for a lease of 100 years, and then you need to return the property back ? How do I make sure that the property I'm interested in does not involve this.
@cheapirishhouses Maggie, can you tell me, if you are buying a house (say for 80k like yours), can you still get your maximum 110k as a, mortgage and use the last bit of money to fix it up, or will a bank only approve a mortgage for what the house is worth?
My concern about this scennario is that 80K is within the cash buyer price banding so needing a mortgage in that band of pricing is going to be a disadvantage.
thanks Just a question: do the solicitors have a common database for all solicitors in Ireland like in France? (that is to say will you have the same opportunities with any solicitor?)
QUESTION : so you said you were offered over 100k mortgage wise and got your house for 80k (time stamp 3:15 ish) I thought the mortgage/money you get from the bank is only cost price of the house itself no? Like how did you still have 20-30k left to do works, was it part of mortgage offer or separate loan/home improvement loan. Thank you!!
Hi Kloda! These are still available, i put a callout to my followers over on IG to ask them how they financed their renovations and almost everyone did it this way. I gathered up their answers under the blue “mortgages” story highlight at the top of my IG feed. You should have a look through. I asked them to name their banks too. So it could be as helpful as poss xx
I think its a bit ridiculous that people who have been paying rent on time for months and the rent is more than you pay on a mortgage don't get approved .No wonder it is so hard to get on the property ladder
How can I buy a house with no money? I'm unemployed and broke father living in donegal. I'm always sick and extremely depressed. I would have ended my journey if I didn't have two kids depending on me. Indeed I know no one cares, this is the problem the world over. Its Christmas eve and I struggled super hard this year to make Christmas happen this year. I'll stop now as I said no one cares
I love your videos Maggie! You speak so much sense in this messed up world.
Can’t wait to see you on RTE again! You give young people like myself so much hope. One day I plan to live in Leitrim or Roscommon. Keep doing what your doing, your amazing take care!
Ps Tipperary looks lovely too
Take Care
Couldn't agree more! I have the feeling Leitrim and Roscommon will end up full of like-minded people thanks to Maggie 😄
Having a good solicitor who is on your side is absolutely essential. I bought my cottage in Co Mayo a couple of years ago, if it wasn't for my solicitor it would have all gone wrong.
what solicitor did you go with? :) thanks
Old houses have so much to give great advice👍
I am in Canada and your video, perfectly applies to buying a home here.
You are a delight I enjoy your videos and learning about real estate in Ireland. It's a dream to one day soon to visit. Thank you!

this is incredibly useful! i'm far off buying a house, but love your channel nonetheless 💕
I'm going to watch this video so many times over! Thanks a million 🙏 (is it weird that I rather watching your videos that Netflix now?) Haha. I'm subscribed to your newsletter already and it's wonderful so thank you for that as well!
aw thank you! if you've any questions just let me know and thanks so much for following along xx
Very good information. This real estate boom must be global because here in the US it is out of control! Best advice is to live within your means!
These videos are sooo useful . I plan to move from the UK to Ireland when I retire in a few years so any and every tip is really valuable .
Great video, can you do one on the help to buy ? Do you apply for that before applying for a mortgage ?
Thank you!
You are so sweet and a wonderful help and presenter 🌸
We are so excited to eventually get one! We are currently traveling around in our home on wheels for the time being 🚐🇮🇪🥳

At what point in this process would you do the building inspection?
We have been wanting to move to Ireland from the US ever since we visited there 4 years ago. We have the means, but don't know where to begin.
Extremely helpful! Thank you!
Hey Maggie,
Great Video. Any piece of advice on how to find a solicitor, especially when non-Irish and non-resident yet?
Cheers,
Oliver
Hi Molly you should upgrade the vid as having access to solicitor for convenience is not required it all happens online. John Neville ballingeary dublin handled my sales and I have never seen or met him. A lot of stuff is digital even registration and deeds are gone and going that way.
Good video, thank you. Could you please recommend some websites to look for houses!!! Thank you
Very informative, thank you!
Love your videos ❤
Maggie, where can a person find out about derelict houses that are owned by state due to the fact there was no next of kin.
In the states. Each state has Bar Associations. They keeps abreast of the integrity of the solicitors. Some states give 3 solicitors referrals for FREE. The referrals consultations in NYC cost about $35 - 40. A time of approximately a 1/2 hr. Do you have a similar service in both parts of Ireland? Does the Republic and the North of have land Registery systems? So one can find/research freehold land in Ireland ?
Awesome video cheers for this
I love it! :D Thank you for this!
Such practical advice. Thank you 🌸

This is very informative!
Really useful video 🙂👏
How do we communicate if we want to see the property or buy!?
Thanks
QUESTION : so you said you were offered over 100k mortgage wise and got your house for 80k (time stamp 3:15 ish)
I thought the mortgage/money you get from the bank is only cost price of the house itself no? Like how did you still have 20-30k left to do works, was it part of mortgage offer or separate loan/home improvement loan.
Thank you!!
I am curious about this too. I hope someone will answer.
Hi Kloda! These are still available, i put a callout to my followers over on IG to ask them how they financed their renovations and almost everyone did it this way. I gathered up their answers under the blue “mortgages” story highlight at the top of my IG feed. You should have a look through. I asked them to name their banks too. So it could be as helpful as poss xx
@@CheapIrishHouses some of us don't have IG. Some of us are barely tech savvy enough to run UA-cam 🤣. And by "some of us" I mean me!
So discouraging trying to find a place for anything less than 260k in this country right now
260k? I can't find anything that is decent enough below 350k
I think its a bit ridiculous that people who have been paying rent on time for months and the rent is more than you pay on a mortgage don't get approved .No wonder it is so hard to get on the property ladder
Totally agree!
Question - If ur in the USA and want to just buy a house in Ireland (cash ). Is it possible. I’m just starting to research and look
Hi Nikki! I’ve 3 videos dedicated to this xx
"PANAMA RELOCATION TOURS!! WITH JACKIE!!🙋 😊 👍❤️👈"
Children should be taught this in school...just in a few lessons😊
Please how can you help me to buy a 2bedroom or 3bedroom house in Longford between 80k to 120k I have 20k as down payment?
I need a 3bedrooms house in Longford Ireland that I can buy for 120k, is it possible?
Do you sell houses
Wait, what? You were offered only 100k to buy your house? Wow!
Can't wait to come back to Ireland and find that perfect house where I can sit with mugs of tea and simply read.
I have cash about 250k euro do I need an auctioneer
How can I buy a house with no money? I'm unemployed and broke father living in donegal. I'm always sick and extremely depressed.

keep your head up, things will get better.
