Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a question that is not answered on this page, please contact us and let us know what you're thinking.

1. What's the idea behind BuyIreland.com?
Millions of people around the world come from Irish descent and many of these people will never have the opportunity to visit the country of their ancestors, or to own property here. When we started BuyIreland.com we did so to enable people from anywhere in the world to own a little plot of land in the heart of the Irish countryside, for a very reasonable price.

2. Is it legal?
Yes. We spent over 12 months making sure every legal detail was taken care of. Your order comes complete with an official certificate of ownership and a comprehensive legal deed of assurance which sets out the contractual details and legalities of your purchase, along with the terms and conditions. We are always more than happy to answer specific questions you may have before and after you receive your documentation. Remember, we offer a money back guarantee - if you're not happy just return your package and we'll refund you.

3. Do I really own the land?
Yes, absolutely. When you purchase a plot of land you are the legal owner of that property. It is important to note that we do not hold the land 'in trust' for you - you are the actual owners of the property. There are certain terms and conditions to your ownership, such as you are not permitted to build anything on your property, because this would spoil the untouched natural beauty of the area, but you are welcome to visit your property whenever you choose.

4. How much land is included in each US$49.99 plot?
Each plot is one square foot in size. When you purchase more than one plot we can arrange to have your plots beside each other if you wish. A discounted rate is available when more than five plots are purchased in one order.

5. What are the shipping times and delivery options?
We include priority airmail shipping free of charge with every order. This generally takes about a week to ten days to arrive, but this can vary. We recommend allowing up to three weeks for the package to arrive in non-major city locations. We also offer FedEx Next Business Day shipping which takes 24-72 hours depending on the day the order is placed (weekend delivery is not available). Alternative shipping options are selected on the order form when you are placing an order.

6. Can I purchase more than one plot and have the plots located side by side?
Yes. When you are placing your order please specify that you would like to have the plots located side by side using the special comments box on the order form. We will then ensure this is taken care of when processing your order.

7. How long will I own the land?
You can own the land forever if you wish. In order for us to work within the law here in Ireland it is necessary for us to initially give you 20 year leasehold ownership of the land, however you can renew this lease at no charge after 20 years, and indefinitely after this, again at no charge. We encourage all owners to renew their lease forever. Full details are contained in the legal documentation we send you with your order, and in the terms and conditions.

8. Are there any annual taxes or charges due?
No, none, never. Once you buy your plot you will never have to pay us another cent, ever. The Irish government does not charge a property tax, unlike in some other countries such as the US. The initial purchase price is therefore the only money you will ever need to pay.

9. Where is the land located?
The property is situated in County Roscommon - in the heart of the Irish countryside, in the middle of Ireland. The location is approximately 75 miles from Dublin City, 140 miles from Cork City, 50 miles from Galway City and 140 miles from Belfast City. The land is easily accessible by car, and we encourage people to visit their property if they have the chance. Comprehensive directions are included with every order.

10. What happens if BuyIreland.com disappears?
We are not planning to go anywhere, but in the unlikely event of us going out of business, you can be assured that your deed documents and certificate of ownership vest legal ownership of the property in you, and as such you will always have a legal right of ownership to the land. When we sell some of our land to you it is no longer considered one of our assets, and as such cannot be sold off by our creditors in this situation.

11. What size is the package I receive when I place an order?
We ship all the documentation and photographs in a standard A4 sized, heavy duty, boardback envelope. The outside of the package is marked 'Please Do Not Bend' to ensure the contents are not damaged. The package contains the following: a certificate of ownership (1 page), deed documentation (3 pages), directions to the property (1 page) as well as 2 photographs. The certificate, deeds and directions are all standard A4 size, and the photographs are standard 6x4". Therefore, it should be easy to find a suitable frame in which to present the entire package to the lucky recipient/land owner!

12. Are payments made on BuyIreland.com secure?
Yes. All credit card payments are processed using a 128 bit SSL connection to encrypt your details before they are sent over the internet. Please visit WorldPay.com for more information on their payment system security. We accept the following forms of payment:
