Find me a Home in Donegal

Donegal County Council is delighted to be launching a new free service to match individual vacant property owners who would like to sell their properties with people who may want to purchase a property in Donegal to make it their home. The Scheme is called “Find me a Home in Donegal”. Anyone who owns a vacant property in the County can join the Scheme. Likewise, anyone who is trying to find a home in Donegal can register their interest for a home in the County. If the Council sees a “match” we will put the vacant homeowner and potential buyer in touch with each other.
