No it’s our own land we are farmersWas site you are selling gifted to your husband by his family ,
Why don't you apply for planning permission, fight the good fight, and once secured sell the site with said planning permission.
They can object to planning if the want to we don' know the full facts ,Years Ago when I was house/site hunting I found a site which seamed perfect but on checking with the people living in the nearest house to the site which also had a high hedge they already knew I was buying it and seeing I asked they pointed out they would be objecting to planning and why I did not buy several other people spent lots of money getting plans drawn up only to see Co Council give planning and being turned down on appeal to An Bord Pleanala ,There is no house on this site to this day it was in a farming area,If you are going to move forward, in all senses, you cannot allow the "parents" to continue to conduct themselves in such an oppressive manner.
You have a proper legal entitlement to sell your property at it's correct market value without interference.
The conduct of the parents might constitute a deliberate interference with a contract. Ironically, there is no contract formed as they are putting off the putative purchasers by their malicious conduct. That leads me to consider if there is a tortious act being conducted here in the form of malicious falsehood as per S. 42 of the Defamation Act of 2009. Here is a link http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2009/act/31/section/42/enacted/en/html
I am unsure if this approach would be possible but you might have to consider seeking an interim injunction against the parents prohibiting their specific behaviour towards potential buyers.
This may have to get nasty before it gets better. I would threaten the parents to sue them over this and to register any judgment obtained against their property ! In other words, tell them that if they keep it up it is their property that will suffer.
You need a considered opinion from your solicitor and counsel to get a grip on this now.
