You will need a representative in Ireland if you don't live in the country. Real estate agents, called "Auctioneers" or "Estate Agents", belong to a real estate group or have their own offices These agents represent both buyers and sellers.

Most Estate Agents in the Republic of Ireland belong to the Irish Auctioneers and Valuers Institute (IAVI) or the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (IPAV) and are licensed by the State. Northern Ireland has its own system of licensing as part of the United Kingdom.

The Estate Agents who are in a group have the advantage of finding Irish castles for sale all around the country. On the other hand, the small operator may find a castle for sale because he or she personally knows the owner.

Your agent in Ireland will let you know when a castle in your desired location is for sale. This process will take time, but if you are a serious buyer, eventually you will find that castles do become available.

Most castles need many repairs. Castles are very old and many have been vacant for a while-maybe even for centuries! Before you buy a castle, you will carefully look at the renovations needed and get price estimates from contractors. Several hundred thousand dollars to a million or more is not uncommon for a total project price.

If you want to lower your cost, you may want to buy a castle ruin and leave it that way! There are hundreds of partial castle ruins throughout Ireland that are interesting and historic properties as they are. You may find a piece of land with a castle ruin on it. You could build a new cottage or larger home near the ruin on the same piece of land, now or in the future.

If you decide to buy a castle, the agent will take care of the closing for you; you will also want to hire a solicitor to do your legal work.

After the purchase, renovating your castle can be overwhelming. Scheduling and managing the project from your home in another country can be challenging at best and a nightmare at worse. If you can be in Ireland often or can manage from a distance, you may want to do it yourself. If not, help is available!
