Would you buy CAB land.

I saw where cattle were seized and sold today by CAB. Wonder will they expect him to continue rearing and selling like this until debt is repaid? or if they are clearing the land for sale......an awful position to be in I can Imagine.

Question is would you buy CAB land??

I don't know what you hope to get out of this thread?
Maybe it's a study of sociology of rural people or land buyers.

But if there's land for sale someone will buy it, no matter the circumstances.

Would I buy it? Don't know.

I was just thinking that there was always a bit of a stigma around buying.. 'bank land'... I'd imagine you'd have to be an outsider rather than a neighbour. It would take balls though...as you said a buyer would come from somewhere.

i'd buy bank land quicker than cab land

not willing to draw the 'c' on me

I would love to buy land with a cab over it.

I'd consider it, if I reckoned I could take them

Wouldn't have a problem buying it if I had the funds but there's better investment opportunities I think.

I'd perfer having someone who bought CAB land living next to me rather than the criminal who previously owned it.

Yes

I know a guy that was badly beaten up after he bought 'Bank' cattle in a field. He was lured to another farm later to look at other cattle and that's where he got the beating.
Also land sold near me which was owned previously by a well known enforcer for a Limerick gang. It changed hands again and the new owner had cattle stolen of it.
I've heard it said that guards buy a lot of CAB assets.

perhaps there is something in the background which has not come out

at my age and looking back, i would not buy it, as i have seen too much trouble and bad luck never mind bad feelings in my lifetime

i dont think i would and it would not be popular in the area. the other way of looking at it is, lets say land went up for sale andyou bid on it but didnt end up buying it. the person who bought it used proceeds of crime to buy it, did they not have an unfair advantage over any other prospective buyers and in that case if i was the underbidder and it was sold by cab or some one similar i would definatley go for it the next time round.

Buying cab land depends on the quality of the land and most importantly how close it is to my existing farm. But ye I definetly would. Where would this land be sold?
