    Hi guys

    If I were to buy a greenfield site w/o any planning permission for a relatively small sum (circa €20,000)
    Would I need a solicitor for the purchase?

    What could go wrong if I didn't use a solicitor?

    Thank you

    Unless you're planning to put cars in it then you're in the wrong forum :)

    You might not own anything. A solicitor will check to see if the person selling is the owner and if they have proper title to sell it.

    What is the land zoned and what are the local planning laws? Do your plans match the current zoning? No point in buying something which you can't use.

    How many cows are you planning on putting on it?

    If you intend building , Do not by a site unless it’s on ‘condition of planning’
