Lookin' for a fixer-upper in the countryside maybe?

 You can browse active listings for fixer-uppers and old homesteads across the country on Property.ie or explore curated historic and restoration projects on FormerGlory.ie. 

 

Where to Find Derelict Houses?

• Property Portals: Sites like Property.ie list rural cottages and project sites often starting under €50,000 in counties like Donegal, Mayo, Kerry, and Clare.

• Dedicated Databases: Platforms like Derelict Properties Ireland compile localized council registers to help track down empty or abandoned houses nationwide.

• Local Auctioneers: Regional agents (such as Henry Kee & Son in Donegal or Sherry FitzGerald branches) frequently handle rural farmhouses and stone cottages.

 

There is some limited financial support & grant money available:

• Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant: You may qualify for government support up to €70,000 for a vacant home, or up to €84,000 (plus potential top-ups) if the property is officially registered as derelict.

• Derelict Sites Levy: Be aware that local councils maintain a Derelict Sites Register. Owners can face a 7% annual levy on the market value of the property if it is left neglected without active restoration plans.
