The popular property show 'Cheap Irish Homes' is casting for its new season.

The show follows property guru Maggie Molloy and architect Tadgh Casey as they help match buyers with properties. 

The show focuses on affordable homes across Ireland, guiding prospective buyers through the process of purchasing properties that often require some renovation.

According to the producers of the show, whether participants are a young couple searching for a budget-friendly first home, a family needing more space, or someone looking for a property to downsize into, "the Cheap Irish Homes team will work to meet your wish list".

"I think in a small way we have managed to change thinking about how derelict or dilapidated houses in rural areas can be revamped to provide housing for people," Molloy previously told Agriland.

"I see so many empty cottages and farmhouses now being rented, sold, renovated or just passed on to family members and I think before the show and before my Instagram feed, the conversation around these houses just wasn’t happening on such a national scale. 

“I even hope we played some part in opening the government’s eyes to the potential in old vacant houses."

Molloy noted that the new grant for these houses offers home buyers "some much needed money to invest in essential upgrades".

"If the house is classed as derelict you can apply for a further top up of €20,000 and if you have a traditional farmhouse and are considering applying for the grant, you can get an additional allowance of up to €7,500 for expert conservation advice on how to refurbish your property,” she said.

“Covid changed a lot of things for a lot of people, and definitely there’s a buzz about living in rural Ireland like I’ve never seen before."
