Hello,
I need some advice on an issue of a small property and land, if there is some help out there I'd be very grateful.
We have no room on our site to build a garage so I want to build this 30x50ft shed on my neighbours land. I don't want to buy any other land apart from the space that the shed will be sitting on (With a right of away included obviously) The shed will be for my private use, and will not be conducting a large-scale business from it.
What I thought about doing is thus...Get him(the neighbour) to apply for planning permission, being a part-time farmer with other outbuildings and land it should be no problem to get permission(??). I will foot this bill, aswell as all of the build costs incurred. On completion of the shed, he "sells" it to me to make it legal so to speak, i.e. signs the ownership of the said property over to me.
If I use the current cost for land, *roughly* €40,000 for 1/4 acre site. The cost of 150 sq ft is just €544. Now there's no way the neighbour will accept €544 for this small plot.
So, I was planning on offering a few grand to him for his troubles/time and of course the 150sq ft of grass...
I have already looked at numerous sites to put a shed with a view to building a house but at the moment it's financially impossible, and not what I plan to do right now.
I have not yet spoken to a solicitor.
* Do I need to get one involved?
* Is this at all possible??
Can anyone 'shed' some light on the situation?? (pardon the pun)
Thanks in advance!!
Yours sincerely,
Martin
