THE CHALLENGE OF FARM SUCCESSION IN IRELAND
In Ireland, the tradition of farming runs deep in the veins of the countryside, embodying a heritage passed down through generations. Yet, amid this rich agricultural history, the challenge of farm succession can often lead to added stress and anxiety for all parties concerned. Navigating this process has become increasingly complex and as the average age of Irish farmers continues to rise, many reach retirement age without a clear plan.

A-Z GUIDE TO LEASING OF AGRICULTURAL LAND
Agricultural land leasing has recently become a very topical discussion recently for both farmers and other interest groups involved in the sector. Some extraordinary figures have been quoted in recent months and of course these prices have gathered much attention. The question of renting out your land /farm has never been more to the forefront of people’s minds, particularly those who see it as a way to postpone the often-difficult decision of selling.
THINKING OF SELLING - WHERE DO I START ?
People often say that selling a property is the most stressful time of your life. Juggling a sale and purchase and trying to co-ordinate all the moving parts. It’s extremely helpful to know at the beginning of your house sale, what the steps along the road will be and what would be required from your solicitor and estate agent.
PADDY JORDAN ON MENTORING LIAM HARGADEN
I left CBA in 1992 and set up Jordan Auctioneers shortly after. Joined by Liam Hargaden who had been working with me in CBA. His father, John Hargaden was a great pal of mine. He asked me to take his son on for a week’s experience working in property, that was over 30 years ago and he is still with me today.
PADDY JORDAN’S JOURNEY THROUGH THE PROPERTY FIELD
I first started working in the property business in 1968 and in February that year I joined a company called Hassett and Fitzsimons, originally in Marlborough Street and then moved to 51 Dawson Street where Colliers are based now. I studied in the College of Commerce in Rathmines and obtained a Diploma in Auctioneering and Estate Agency (Dip AEA). I remained with them until 1971 and then joined up with a great pal of mine Gerry Slattery, a former President of the IAVI, who was CEO of Warren Estates, based in Gorey and Enniscorthy. I joined them with a view to opening an office in Carlow where I was from. We set up in Dublin Street in Carlow.
