thanks guys.. i thought a letter would do from the end house would do but i’m clearly mistaken. I suppose the next question is how do i find out who owns the land?! it divideds the sellers land and another field opposite. I would imagine its been there for years and both land owners believe they own either side of the road up to the hedge boundry.. Even if it’s only 200m to the road would you think i’d be mad to go ahead with the sale?!

I also agree that revisiting similar questions can be somewhat boring but how are you to know as a first time user – since yesterday i believe there is a note saying use searchs etc which helps. So thats a good step forward.

After doing some research on other threads i still am no clearer in knowing if i buy a house built by someone caught in a 5 occupancy clause who claims to have a waver blocking this provided i put my name down to fit within the rural development plan do i then loose any claim to build on my own land in the future when our needs out grow the small house. Not asking for judgement nor ridicule just a possible answer to the above question from someone who has encounter such before.

And i feel i got away lightly yesterday in comparison to the post by purple1703 on new home.. talk about a complete slating. I post on numerous forums on many different topics and i’ve yet to come across such a situation where your made to feel like a child in the corner as everyone else discusses your cheek in posting such a questio and how to ban such a thing ever happening in the future?!

Yet not one of those involved had any idea to be capable to answer the question. And before we go off on one about ask your architect and free advice..and the price for such a service I have asked both the council & an architect None of which can give me a clear answer hence i ask a forum in the hope that someone somewhere may have encountered something similiar…

yeah i’m beginning to realise a lot of things when it comes to property. Thanks for your help TP. I think i’ll get my coat.

Think you missed the point.. i intend to buy a built house – built by someone else & not by myself. I intend to build my own house once and live in it for the rest of my days on my own land which is suitable as there are other house in close proximity an will do so later on in with time when the site is in my name and i can afford to build. Why should i rent when i can buy and not have to ask a landlord can i hang up a painting on the wall or keep a pet? In your eyes i should get one chance to buy a house and live in it for life and let the housing estates come out to meet me.

Here’s one for ya – why if i lived in dublin i can buy and sell and move as many times as i want to bigger houses each time making more money with each time i sell to suit my needs with time with city prices being higher etc and thats fine.. yet if i can afford to buy in the country and sell it on to build a bigger more suitable house with more rooms for my children and have it as a one and final house designed & built by ourselves not to move again as the house was designed for life etc i’m not allowed or greedy or i’m just in it for the money?!

And to be honest YAwn on my behalf too hutton. If you wish first time posters not to post there questions in relation to 0ne-offs then STATE IT ON THE HOME PAGE or maybe… just a logical thought….. open a section for ‘one-off’s’ so we can chat among ourselves and not bother you at all?. And if you don’t like a post then you don’t have to get vexed by it and give a newbie the impression that it’s a lion cage to ask a simple question which i might add you have’nt assisted in any shape or form you’ve just critised and classed me in a catagory of greedy one-off house builders..

I only asked a question.. pure and simple..
