In episode 2 of our series on Buying a Country Home in Ireland, Breffnie chats with Colleen about her move from America to Ireland.

At first, Colleen was in California just browsing properties online and thinking about a move, next she considered different European countries before deciding on Ireland as a destination.

And then.... Colleen arrives in Ireland for the first time to set about purchasing a home.

Does she do it on her own or does she need help?

What were Colleen's concerns about relocating to Ireland?

How the process worked and the differences Colleen saw between the Irish and American purchasing processes.

How Colleen's integrated into her local village community.

What advice Colleen would give to those considering moving to the Irish countryside? and much more!

Anyone can buy a property in Ireland, but does buying a property entitle you to Irish residency or a visa?

If you’ve been thinking about buying property in Ireland, retiring to Ireland or even spending a couple of weeks in Ireland, it’s highly likely that you’ve wondered about any legal or visa hurdles you may need to jump.

Well, it’s these types of questions that we’re discussing in this week’s podcast and we’re lucky to be joined by Aaron Flynn.

This case study describes how Breffnie O’Kelly, buyer’s agent, helped a young Irish couple, based in Australia and expecting their first child, secure a home in Ireland.
