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.

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.

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.

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.
