Economy of Ireland

Ireland is a small open economy. Its growth is mainly dependent on international trade and is largely influenced by global markets. It has been a part of the European Union since 1973 before which it was merely an agricultural based economy.

Ireland experienced a phenomenal boom from the mid 1990s to mid 2000s due to large foreign investments pouring in during that time. During this phase of rapid economic growth, Ireland was known as the “Celtic Tiger.” After this, in 2007, the country saw a major economic turndown due to a subsequent property bubble. On this, Ireland had to ask financial help from the European Commission. After going through a lot of economic turmoil, Ireland’s economy is now growing again, with some significant measures taken to protect the economy.

Buying and Renting Property in Ireland

Anyone from anywhere can buy property in Ireland regardless of their residential status. You can start looking for properties by hiring a real estate agent, going through local newspapers or searching online. Unlike other places where the real estate agent closes the deal, here, you need to hire a solicitor to take care of legal paperwork. This is because the buying process can sometimes get complicated. Usually, the buying process should take 6 to 8 weeks.

Depending upon the duration of stay, you may choose to buy or rent property. Renting a property in Ireland is quite similar to renting property in the US.

We started communicating for the clearance of goods in Mumbai. very timely communication and showed up right when they said they would, and worked hard, never slowing down. Writer Relocations came on time and did their job. They were fast, friendly, and very careful with our items while unpacking the stuff. I give my thanks to Writer Relocations for their wonderful support and timely operations. Thanks for everything and I wish good luck for Writer Relocations' future...I will definitely use them next time I move. I would rate the overall experience with Writer Relocations as a 4.6 out of 5 based on the service that they have provided to me for clearing the material in India. All in all, a great experience.”
