Approaching the County Council to sell your house to them

[quadrangle]

I own a property in a medium sized town which I wish to sell. Do the County Councils actively purchase properties within towns?

In some counties they do!!!!!

A COUNTY manager has insisted he has done nothing wrong after it emerged that €250,000 of taxpayers' money was made available to buy his house....However, Longford County Manager Tim Caffrey has insisted that he had no conflict of interest because he had declared his ownership of the house.

I wrote to my local council some years ago offering to sell them a residential property that I have.

They wrote back to say that while they weren't interested at that time they might be at some point in the future.

Cant hurt to ask

Interesting. Might be something I will do. No harm to make them aware that the house is available.

Clearly by the article, if I was well connected, I would command a higher selling price!
