    Hi all

    In an ideal world, I would like to find a site to build a house on. Do estate agents offer services where they would look for suitable sites or do you need to do all the leg work yourselves.

    Thanks

    You can find sites on Daft.ie if you know the general area which interests you

    Be careful on local needs only sites etc anyone will sell you a site but getting planning is another thing altogether.
    Why not buy a site with planning permission already ? Loads on Daft.

    Sorry to bring up an old thread, but does that mean if a site already has planning permission that local needs don't apply?


    I'm not sure that's right.

    If a site in a local needs area has planning in place, it is extremely likely that the grant of permission will be tied to that applicant and to have that changed over, you would have to have local needs yourself.
    There are however sites with planning that wont have any such conditions. These would be in areas not under pressure development wise or sites that had older dwellings already in place.

    Yeah I figured that if a site had local needs, it always would





    The rest is good basic advice to know.


    I've been searching for a site to build on for a while now but caan't seem to find any consistency in whats locals only and what isn't.


    Places like this https://www.propertypartners.ie/residential/brochure/boleybaun-ballynastreagh-gorey-wexford/4431315 in the back of nowhere isn't locals only.


    But sites in existing neighborhoods in a different county might.







    I just wish there was a way for me to type in an address, and see if it is locals only or not.



    Trying to navigate the coco development plans is a nightmare and myplan.ie seems incomplete. All I want is a map :D
