Millions of people around the world come from Irish descent and many of these people will never have the opportunity to visit the country of their ancestors, or to own property here. When we started BuyPhilippines.com we did so to enable people from anywhere in the world to own a little plot of land in the heart of the Irish countryside, for a very reasonable price. We offer a very high quality, professionally produced, fun, personalised product that makes an ideal unique and unusual gift.

Yes. We spent over a year making sure every legal detail was taken care of before we launched. Your order comes complete with an official certificate of ownership and a comprehensive legal deed of assurance which sets out the contractual details and legalities of your purchase. These documents were prepared by a highly respected law firm in Ireland (Beauchamps Solicitors in Dublin) so you can be sure they are comprehensive and fully legal. We are always more than happy to answer specific questions you may have before and after you receive your documentation. Remember, we offer a money back guarantee - if you're not happy just return your package and we'll refund you.

Yes, absolutely. When you purchase a plot of land you are the legal owner of that property. It is important to note that we do not hold the land 'in trust' for you - you are the actual owners of the property. There are certain terms and conditions to your ownership, such as you are not permitted to build anything on your property, because this would spoil the untouched natural beauty of the area, but you are welcome to visit your property whenever you choose.

The land that BuyPhilippines.com is selling is not freehold, but is not leasehold either. There are two main reasons for this:i. With a number of different people owning the different plots of land, and visiting their plots, if we sold freehold ownership then landowners could compromise the untouched natural beauty of the area by erecting flag poles, digging large holes, etc. Every land owner should be free to enjoy their land in its rural setting, so we must restrict what people do on their plot in order for this to be possible.ii. We want to maximise the control we give to landowners while still ensuring all our landowners can enjoy their property. Our legal team has helped us provide a renewable 20 year leasehold ownership. This is renewable AT NO CHARGE after 20 years, and again indefinitely after that in periods of 20 years. Our aim is not to restrict the term of ownership to 20 years, but to work within the limitations of the leasehold ownership laws here in Ireland. We will email every land owner when their 20 year term is approaching and ask them to renew their leasehold by notifying us they wish to do so, free of charge. If we are unable to contact a land owner, we will not resell or ‘take back’ the plot – we will keep the records on file until eventually we hear from the land owner or person acting on their behalf. In short, the land will be assigned to you forever once you make a purchase, but we attempt to contact you every 20 years to ensure our records are as up to date as possible.
