This content is general information only and is not personalized legal, tax, immigration, investment, financial, real estate, banking, or other professional advice from Mr. Andrew Henderson personally. I just sold my only home in the West, a Georgian house in Dublin I bought after moving to Ireland on a residence permit in 2021. Here's what went wrong: buying a house that needed work, contractors who wouldn't pick up the phone, one who literally stole from me, and Irish prices for jobs that cost a fraction in Kuala Lumpur or Colombia. I still think Ireland is a great soft landing for English speakers, with its non-dom tax system and an easy government to deal with. This is my own experience, and the cost figures are my rough numbers, not market data. Not legal or tax advice.
