road through land

visatorro

There is a new road coming through my farm soon. It will split my parlour from the bulk of my already small grazing block.

In the last ten/fifteen years when there was money in the country, alot of new roads were built. Can anyone that has been through this before give me any advice or know of a third party that could help/ negotiate a terms

insist on an under pass big enough for tractors and trailers or full scale bridge like I have seen on some motorways up the country

stay hard at them, don't let them ignore you, get a local politician behind you if you can

The best advice I could give would be to trust nobody - councilors, politicians, auctioneers....nobody! They will all be looking out for themselves and experience is that they will all be in cahoots with one another anyway. I would talk to an accountant as u will need to understand all the tax implications. Remember this will inconvenience u for the rest of your life!

I remember talking to an auld lad from Athenry who sold 10 acres when the Galway to Dublin motorway was built. He got 120k an acre. Mental money, sure back in the good old days.

Offhand, the key issue is that they must compensate you fairly. Thus have a listing of all the issues that will result in this that would lessen the value of the land. As well, AFAIR the IFA had a site with information on this.
