After spending quite a bit of time looking round abandoned cottages, derelict houses and "cabins" in the woods we have found our dream home! We loved this remote cottage so much that we put in a bid to buy it, only, of course we end up in a bidding war. Couple that with our RUclips channel getting in the way we had quite an intense few days!
Apologies if we've had to leave some bits out, we know it may be frustrating, but we just don't want anything to jeopardise our off grid dream. We will share everything with you as soon as we can, in the mean time we hope you are enjoying our journey to sustainable, alternative living, and stay tuned for because after the events of this week, its going to be quite the adventure! And as always, thanks so much for watching.

Intense, yes. Can’t wait to see the house! Continue to take good care of each other during this process. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement. 🌿
Be careful even once you've completed. I've found old sales particulars through doing a Google Lens search.
Hopefully everything goes through with the cottage. 🎉❤
On yes! So Ken to see the house,, renovations,and everything you do.😁
We can’t buy anything from UK as we then have to pay customs.
I really appreciate how thoughtful you guys are when it comes to respecting other people's privacy. 🙏❤️
You was probably never in a bidding war. This is how they do it. The quick turn around “if you just pay the asking price”That said. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ❤❤❤. You got it for what you can afford. Happy times ahead 🦋🦋🦋
It’s not just the remote cottage, it’s mainly because you’re just lovely and interesting people xx
Thank you, that’s really lovely of you to say
So true... that's why we are here for you both and furry children...I just love your vlogs , you are both so blessed to have each other on this wonderful journey of life...big warm hugs and love to you all from an Australian living in the south of Italy. Every in perfect divine timing,so looking forward to hearing about your plans on your new home together, Ciao Wendy. xxxxx❤😘
Yea, Shannon Airport! My local Airport.😊❤ You are both a lovely couple.
Well said. 2 💕 lovely people who have 2 adorable pets, AJ 🐶 and Summer 🐈⬛
Keep a lot of privacy you 2, never show aerial footage or any major land marks. We are both so happy you've started your dream home redo so enjoy, there is one thing I can tell for sure it never ends . Happy Trails
Everyone knows everyone in Ireland! But most people don't care, even if a famous person moves in!
There are many youtubers have problems with nut cases it's a fact they've had problems there's young german woman who had a more than one problem and destruction of property it is a real problem .@@lolosrainydays
Yes I agree keep your privacy
I'm sure you've learnt from your past experiences
Congratulations on finding your dream home 🎉😻
These videos are so worth watching for Louise's use of slang and witty sarcasm and Emily's facial expressions. Thanks girls and welcome to Ireland
My great great grand dad's name was AJ (just the AJ) I loved it. So glad you have a AJ too. He's magnificent.
Gongratulation on the Cottage, it’s nice seeing nice things happen to nice people.
"I'm sooooooo excited, and I just can't hide it!" ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so so happy for you both. We also moved to Ireland ☘️32 years ago, we have never looked back. We loved the country and people and we have feel so at home. Safe and cosy. You will soon feel the same in the mean time we are Irish citizens, and are really proud to be Irish. Wishing you both a long and happy life in Ireland. ☘️❤️☘️
@@taichihead42I agree with you, Ireland isn't the country it used to be. The demographic is changing rapidly 😢😡
@@taichihead42mossy bottom has moved to Finland …the sad death of his dog moss was the catalyst and the fact that his partner and now mother of his child brought significant changes. He loved Ireland and is still u tubing from Finland. Try not to be too negative
I know
@@taichihead42Ireland doesn't revolve around Dublin, you know. People forget that there is a whole lot more about Ireland than just Dublin.
@@taichihead42 I know the capital of my own country and it's significance but when someone always mentions Dublin's negatives as Ireland's negatives, I try and remind people that there is so much more than Dublin when talking about positive and negatives of Ireland.
Excellent advice given by solicitors suggesting you not put property transaction on internet until all is complete and you both decide what you wish to share once it's yours.❤❤🐶🐈⬛
Sensible censorship. The internet can be a minefield. When we bought this house five years back we loved it so much we offered an additional £1K if they took it off the market immediately, which they did. We watched it disappear from the internet, so relieved. So we understand your feelings about the property. We had offered £60k below asking price so it was still a win. Can't wait to see what you have bought.
Congratulations,
but I wouldn’t be surprised if ye were bidding against yourselfs, it’s how they get you to keep bidding up and up ,
It’s great though when you get it as you wanted it so much, best wishes going forward
It’s so much fun watching this after the fact. Emily’s right in that if it’s meant to be, it will happen! 🥰
Many congratulations to you all humans and animals 😁 Welcome to Ireland as your home. You are very kind about your travels around various countries and I’m delighted you are happy about Ireland the locations and the people 😁 We wear our hearts on our sleeves! So rest up in the interim for the next stage. By the way very prudent on the privacy of others and yourselves. So thanks for that again. So a cead mhíle fáilte roimh go léir - a hundred thousand welcomes to ye all! ☘️😁👋🏻🙋🏻♀️
I absolutely love seeing AJ when he rests his chin on the dashboard. He has my ❤.
So happy for you all, AJ and Summer included! 😊 Also as a keen DIYer and workshop hobbyist I'm really looking forward to those house projects. Started following because of interest in hiking and camping, but you're both so lovely and such a laugh I'd watch whatever you get up to.
Same here. Such a lovely team (of two humans and two animals), and like their life is their adventure, whatever they do is nice to watch.
Thank you guys that’s really nice of you to say 😀
Another great “slice of our life” video ! Thanks for taking us along ……
What happens in ireland a lot is fake bidders, the agents themselves or the actual seller bump up the price, then you will find it miraculously falls through after you cant match the price any further… happens here all the time.
Exactly what I was thinking... what proof did they have that the supposed competing buyers even existed? Then she says they've never viewed it😮 they never existed. Hold your nerve, don't show emotion, the agent is not on your side.
Oh I’ve had an insight into personally, so I know it happens. There should me more accountability and transparency. Im not sure what county or area they bought? But it certainly happens.
@lodgehousestudio6219 I actually feel sorry for Lou and Emily, I was shouting at the screen, don't engage with it, it's a scam. Such a rotten thing for two great people
My mother went to the sellers door when purchased this house, the real estate wanted it for someone in their family and wouldn’t pass the bids on. The seller was unaware and was disgusted and sold the house to my mother. My mother fell in love with the lodge house and she has Parkinson’s disease so wanted nicer surrounds than a terrace could offer. I meant to start a channel of our lodge but caring is a full time job. All kinds of scams go on
@@lizbrown9517Houses are occasionally being bought without viewing at the moment in Ireland. Usually people who’ve sold a house in Dublin and made a huge profit buying a project down the country. They check it out on Google Maps. They’re often not bothered how bad the house is because they have a more than enough money from their house sale to put it right. As long as the location suits them and there’s fibre broadband for remote working, they’ll put a bid in. Subject to whatever surveys etc. Sounds crazy but it is happening.
The last time an estate agent said there was a counter offer on a property I wanted to purchase, I asked that all parties, myself, the vendor and the "other interested party" meet for an informal formal bidding meeting at my expense at a location of their choosing where we could bid against each other in person.....
The vendor accepted my original offer.
Don't get conned or feel forced into raising your offer. Estate Agents earn their commission from the vendor and have a vested interest in getting the highest price.
Cut through the B.S.
Everything that remains good in this world, needs to find you both, and may your futures be as vibrant and lovely as you both. God bless x
Fingers crossed it’s yours soon🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💚100% on maintaining level of privacy on your home’s location, essential 💚 lots of people install electric gates just to feel more secure. My entrance is crying out for any gate never mind an electric one 😂
How many times have people heard this same story ? I'm sure it's the estate agent bumping up the price for a better commission ! Strange you pull out , and all of a sudden its oh I will see the owner ???? How strange eh ! Wonder how long the so called bidding war would of gone on if you kept raising your offer , Do exactly what you both done stick to your max offer and no more ,Soooooo pleased for you both 😊 well deserved, just came across your channel by accident, honest and genuine couple lovely vids 😊 over the moon you got your cottage 😊
I moved over to Ireland on impulse 5 years and I love it . the weather the people . Wishing you all the best
Welcome ladies! Moved here 5.5 years ago from the US and have never been happier. Your banter and humour made me a subscriber and I am along for the journey no matter which you are doing.
**CAMPER VIBE COTTAGE**.....Congratulations to you both...Exciting times ahead...Love to you all xxxx
I’ve got to say guys I held my breath right though this. I was over the moon when you won the bidding war and I finally let out my breath lol. Im so pleased for you both, you’re just the most lovely couple ever and deserve to have what you want. Massive hugs 🫂 xxx
Thank you, we are so excited
Beautiful lovely surroundings you have sweet neighbours in the wild life around you which is so sweet much happiness to you both
I have never commented before and have followed you for a few years. Just wanted to say congratulations. I love your videos. The editing, the shots you get are amazing. My Daughter is off to Uni next year doing film production and I think she could learn a lot from your editing. Again congratulations and look forward to both types of videos, the house renovations and especially the travelling. Gary
If it’s alright with you, we (some of us) would like to continue watching “every single bloody video”. Thank you 😎
I'll be watching all your videos, whether cottage or van based. So glad you got the cottage you wanted.
Thanks 😊
You was probably never in a bidding war. This is how they do it. The quick turn around “if you just pay the asking price”That said. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ❤❤❤b. You got it for what you can afford. Happy times ahead 🦋🦋🦋
Awww girls I am so happy for you both. I really hope no creepy people try and find your new home. I can’t imagine how scary that it for you. You are so lucky moving there. I have strong Irish ancestry but have never been and constantly feel the pull to go.
Once we stop work we will take the motorhome and travel for months and months over there.
Best wishes to you both. You have a great channel. ❤
congratulations! just recently discovered this channel, so much love on here.
you two are fantastic ladies ❤️ hope everything goes well for you both good luck 🌹🌹
Congrats ladies
Am not really bothered what the videos are about as long as the story of the 4 of you continues 😊 congratulations on getting your dream place, very very VERY happy for you ❤
Hang in there girls. Have yre wits about you. But dont let the bidding war outsmart you! Bid on the amount decided..and stick to it. Strongs to you!!!
So happy your numbers are going up and you are finally being appreciated! I have been here a long time and know how much you both put in to each video! I am so happy for the two of you! Congratulations!
So happy for you both and AJ and Summer. Made me laugh Em when you were so excited on the phone and when Lou held you up to camera you were like a little bobblehead on Red Bull😂
You were both more interesting to watch, than whats on TV,good luck.
Old advise from an old man,keep your cottage very private.
Continue your campvibe out on the road travelling,you both deserve your own space and privacy
Glad you guys have found something. Estate Agents don't have the best reputation, especially when they know you really want the property. It's usually better to play is cool and don't up your offers on the spot. You seem happy that you have paid the right price, so best of luck and I hope it all goes through smoothly. We love watching you both on your travels and it will be interesting to see you renovating! Exciting times.
So happy for you! Can’t wait too see it all, travel, home projects, etc! Enjoy!
There is nothing more terrifying and satisfying than buying a new house. I am so happy for you! Can't wait to see it and watch you make it your own. I'm sure it will be "stunning" :)
Very pleased that you seem sorted.
yayyyyyyyyyy...you got the house!!!! I'm so made up for you getting your dream, guys cos you so deserve it. I cant wait to see the house and watch you make it your own. Here's to a brilliant future for you both. Love and respect- Kenny♥
Thanks Kenny
It’s like watching one of the best TV dramas, your videos are that good. It’s wetting our appetite for Ireland now.
You guys have got to come over especially if we have a drive for you all 🙂
Got to love how even Summer was stressed and needed a pummel while you were on the phone!
Well done, girls! We're pleased for you!
Oh girls, i am so excited for you. Ireland is the most beautiful place in the world too. I cried when i saw your video with the news. You two are the most beautiful couple in the world. Xx❤
Absolutely thrilled for you ladies that the sale went through. Great to have two fantastic neighbours wherever you are in Ireland. Delighted your channel is getting the response it deserves. The excitement in your Vlogs is palpable and your honesty and editing are to be commended. Stay safe and looking forward to next weeks Vlog...🚐💚👏👏💚☘
I truly hope there was an actual bidder, and not the agent racing you for more.......
Glad you found your dream place and it all works out.
Just all the best for you two 😁
Can't wait to see what it looks like.
New beginnings
🕶🤙👍
Agent reputation is critical in rural Ireland where everyone knows everyone, hence less gazumping. Its unlikely he was puffing the price but not impossible.
This happens all the time in Ireland - best thing to do when estate agents says you are in a bidding war is to go thanks bye! However glad you got it! My cottage not so far :) (also solicitors here appauling check the land registry double check everything! They are shocking bad)
Bidding wars take place in England too. I believe this was a genuine bidding war because it started when the estate agent told them another bidder had made a bid well below the asking price. If it was fake he would have said another bidder placed a higher bid. Also, in the end they ended up paying only the asking price - not a penny above. We bought two houses in Ireland and in each case we had a positive experience. When your default attitude is cynicism you've come to a sad place in life. That's my philosophy.
@@helenaville5939They were played. The vendor got the asking price and the EA his commission.
It was painful to watch.
@@paulkoval9138 I disagree. I live in the area and competition for properties is sky high here at the moment - especially from the British. I would be shocked if there had been no other interest in their chosen property. In addition to this, the agent could have opted to keep the property on the market knowing it would sell within a few weeks anyway (they are rising at 4.5% a year at the moment due to demand) or he could have just said the vendor is not prepared to accept an offer lower than the asking price. All things considered I thought both parties (seller and vendor) did a fair deal.
@@helenaville5939 It's a classic scam as a little research on the Internet shows. Even the being offered cash to walk away. Like they'd turn up with cash and a legally binding agreement and a witness. Still as long as they're happy.
@@helenaville5939 hate to tell you but ea did this to me and my partner. We said eh no thanks bye and Ea spent next three weeks chasing us. We got our cottage for a good deal and the other bidder was never mentioned again. It has gone on here especially rural Ireland and especially west. It doesn’t matter regardless they have the property which is great and should be happy but it is a known trick here and we bought over ten years ago
I think that realtor was working you guys… that’s why always tell the Agent… “This is my final bid” because if you don’t they will just try to squeeze more from you.
I'm not even the slightest bit concerned about your new venture! You're going to smash it 100%. You've got all your ducks in a row, you're experienced, prepared, savvy, focused and confident about what you need, want, and desire. This is a wonderful adventure and I'm so pleased that you are sharing it with all of us. Can't wait for the Live! And I echo other comments as to why you're so popular... not the cottage, it's YOU TWO! A genuine breath of fresh air and we're all loving it! Best of luck to you wing-nuts and keep up the stellar work you're doing. Love to the babies. xoxoxo
Love watching year videos
Best of luck with the Cottage sale!
Dynamo Duo! 😊
Keep mum! Get it all signed and sealed. We can certainly be patient enough to give you the elbow room you need to do the deal without a herd of opinions looking over your shoulder!
I will look forward to seeing you when you're ready. Stay healthy, stay dry, stay safe!!! Have a glass of wine!🍷🍷🍷
I’m sat here with the biggest smile ever for you both. Congratulations! Happy new home guys 🏡 ❤
Congratulations on buying your house hope all goes well. Auctioneers in Ireland have a terrible reputation we have experience having moved 5 times ,what you end up doing is bidding against yourself with no one else interested, then you have to deal with solicitors another shower, you need great patience. Welcome to IRELAND 🇮🇪.
So excited for you both. Ireland is such a blissful part of the world. My mum grew up in Ballinamore in Leitrim and I just love visiting. It’s such a beautiful country. Got everything crossed that the sale goes through for you! 😊
Im in Leitrim too
Hello from Vancouver Island!
I’m catching up with your earlier videos. Love your banter and enthusiasm!
I'm thrilled for you! I, for one, WILL be watching every bloody video! You two ARE the channel, and anything you get up to is entertaining and a bonus. As a DYIer, I want to know about how that goes in Ireland, as well as seeing more sights there. Again, super happy for you! I know you're both ultra sensible, so I have no concerns about your move. Peace and Love to you! 💜🙋♀️🌼
😀😀
Sensible choice regarding keeping details to yourself. My unique and recognisable former home was featured on a Channel 5 show - we literally had strangers trying to let themselves in to look around!
You two are just bloody lovely people. We are so, so, soooo excited for you both and look forward to the next instalment. Love from us both X
I know it is stressful but it will make it all the more special when you get the keys.
So happy for you both that you have finally found your dream home. Ireland is a beautiful country and the people are amazing, we look forward to your Sunday video postings. Wish you both all the best in your new home and adventure.
Ever since I stumbled across your account a few months ago, the highlight of my week is when you post a new video. I think you guys are just the best. Glad you chose Ireland as your new home.
Delighted for you all. Hope the paperwork all goes smoothly and we get to see the house before Christmas! These things can take ages! Welcome to Ireland. It doesn't usually rain this much, we're having an unusually wet year. One of your videos popped up in my feed just over a week ago, and I am hooked! Working backwards over the last year or so, the video footage, the banter, the top tips.... I'll watch you for either travel or DIY. You even have me googling van conversions! Love the videos!
Glad you got what you wanted
But it isn’t a bidding war
It’s gazumping people to pay more
I’m loving the house buying journey! I can’t believe I only found your Chanel after researching insulating a van floor and I’m still here a few years later. I don’t blame you for keeping stuff private, makes sense to me. I’m looking forward to seeing AJ running around in his own garden, I bet he’s going to love it😊
Can't wait to watch it all!
Well, I've just got home from 9 months away with work. Tuned into your channel for the first time since going away. Obviously never really know what to expect with you two, but I certainly wasn't expecting that 😂 Keeping my fingers crossed for you both 🤞 hopefully everything goes through as planned and very much looking forward to seeing your new place and especially whatever renovations you get up to. 😊
Thank you, we did wonder where you had gone 😂
Very happy for you both!!
A bidding war is so stressful..well done!!! Congrats you two!!!
Especially when their is only 1 bidder 😂
@@Dontbeasheep33….😂 yes I thought it sounded a dodgy 🍻
Looked to me as though they have been run
of course it was only them bidding...i'm irish and i have bought 5 houses and i know the way they works....for me i just say ok let them have it.....with in a day or 2 it ends up mine........but they got it for the asking price so that worked out ok for them...
Its an Irish bidding War with themselves, they got the house though, never believe anything an Estate Agent says.
You have a lot of faceless companies bidding on houses over the past couple of years, who would bid on a house you haven't seen?
I was viewing a house on the Outer Hebrides in 2021 (key was left under the mat 😯) and got a phone call from the estate agent that someone had bought it over the phone!! A week later got a call the house was back on the market😏 I wasn't playing, so pulled out, the house was still for sale a year later.
I'm now living full-time van-life and love it, the Universe guiding me away from a static life??😏😎
But fingers crossed for you guys, if you're happy with the price and house 100% good luck coming your way❤🙏
Thrilled for the 4 of you! I'm so excited to see videos of the cottage and the reno work you're going to do there. Don't skip on the length, Louise, make them as long as ya want! Really chuffed for you, gals. 😺🌈🦮
Thrilled for you and my fingers a crossed that it all goes smoothly!
4:24 absolutely! We weren't that wowed on the farm listing we we ended up bidding on, but as soon we we saw it in person, we wanted it ❤ But ugh... the legal stuff and risks were SO SO stressful, but worth it!
Carpenter: I love your channel 👍👍💯💯 💕
That’s what we are hoping 😀😀
@@campervibegood luck x
@@joline2730thanks so much ☺️
I’ve experienced something similar and it turned out in the end turned out to be the owners friend deliberately bidding me up and he had no intention of completing it for real.
Absolutely delighted for you both and of course the fur babies 🎉 That soon coming silver plaque will look amazing in your new home ❤ Stay warm lovely's x
I love you ladies. You are both lovely and I really enjoy your channel.
I’m so excited for you both and for myself. This channel keeps getting better and better!! Looking forward to seeing a new country seeing how the house and property come together plus bonus van life travels 🤗
Best of luck with the survey and purchase. A 200 year old property wont have a damp course so confirmation of no rising damp will also be important. The solicitors are much slower in Ireland even though they charge more for a very similar process. Typically a straight forward purchase is 2 months unless they are put under the gun from the get go.
Congratulations guys! So it got to that point; when you know, you know.. The house was home! So happy for you, cant wait for you to show us when everything is settled and you got the keys. :)
Time for you two to get into making dramas. I can't imagine how many hours you spent getting the editing right. Yet another outstanding video, should be award winning. You will be discovered soon and then you will be able to set up your tax haven production company and become trillionaires. Loved the shots of AJ and summer too.
I AM SOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! Love, Cee and Edward from the little haunted cottage in ireland 💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀
You are brilliant. Totally impossible not to like you. Good luck with everything.
Congratulations to you both!!! Sending positive vibes that all of the remaining steps go through without a hitch! ❤
Congratulations! I moved to Co Clare from the UK in 1985 and I’m still really happy here.
Absolutely delighted for ye both and the furry ones-you're spot on with the privacy and yeah safety-follow your gut feelings and know they're right...congrats and enjoy a bit of rest!!!mind yourselves init-😁
Good luck I know just how you feel….stresssssss son moved into first home in the summer after living in a shed in our garden for 3 years saving hard. And my mum is moving after 47 years in the same place from the IOW to Somerset this Friday and at 88 years old and after loosing her husband of 67 years it’s been quite a year. Grab your dreams while you can and enjoy life❤️
Please don't P*SS on our parade on the blackboard at the end of this video, I sure hope that the trolls and other questionable comment makers paid attention to that message, wishing you good luck that everything goes to plan and all works out .
Try using scissors to cut up pizza. Honestly one of the favourite things I have learnt this year! 😊
Well, I’ve just watched the Dingle episode, which has set me up for the day. I don’t have time to watch this one as well, right now, but I’m thrilled to have it lined up for later!
Hope it’s what I think it is…
Aw I’m so excited and happy for you both!!! 🎉
I'm looking forward to the Land Rover next - you need one now for sure!!
woohoo wow congratulations...... is there a fence for AJ?, so happy for you both... woohoo.... can't wait to watch you renovate............ a live great ...ummm i am in australia... might be an early start for me then...
Great news on the purchase! love from Dublin ☘
Congratulations girls. We put our house up for sale just as Covid hit so nobody could call. When the all clear came we sold our large bungalow and downsized to a small bungalow inside a week. No grass no hedges no trees. No main road traffic. Bliss.
Flying out of Shannon is always so handy. Unfortunately a lot of the time the flight you need only flys out of Dublin.
Congratulations on your new home.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great vid, any content that has a dog in it, is just better. I just came across your videos this morning and thoroughly enjoy them.
