Cheap Irish Homes is a fascinating television series that is produced by Indigenius. The show is aimed at viewers who want to take on the ultimate DIY project of buying a property in Ireland for an affordable price. The premise of the show is based on the fact that there are thousands of properties in Ireland that are priced incredibly low. These properties are in various states of disrepair, some needing major renovations and repair work while others just need some light cosmetic updates. This show is all about finding these hidden gems and transforming them into beautiful homes that can be lived in or sold for a profit.

The show is hosted by Simon Heslop, a British expat who has been living in Ireland for over twenty years. Simon is passionate about renovating homes and has a wealth of experience in the field. His love for the Irish countryside is evident as he takes viewers on a journey to some of the most remote and picturesque locations in Ireland. Simon's expertise is not just in the area of renovating homes, but also in the legal and financial aspects of purchasing property in Ireland. He guides viewers through the intricacies of the buying process, making it easier for them to navigate the sometimes daunting task of purchasing a property in another country.

Each episode sees Simon showcasing a number of potential properties that are priced well below market value. Along with local estate agents, he takes a tour of each property, highlighting the pros and cons of each. Some of the properties are small and quaint, perfect for first-time buyers looking for a quiet retreat in the countryside. Other properties are grand old homes that have fallen into disrepair and need significant work to turn them into modern, spacious homes. Simon explains the potential of each property, both in terms of living space and monetary value, making it easier for viewers to make an informed decision.

Throughout the series, we see the transformation of each property as it is lovingly restored to its former glory. Simon works with a team of skilled tradespeople to get the job done, from carpenters to electricians, plasterers to bricklayers. The renovation work is an intense process, with each project taking several months to complete. We see the homes slowly transform, from run-down buildings to beautifully designed and decorated homes that anyone would be proud to call their own.

One of the things that make Cheap Irish Homes so appealing is the fact that it showcases the very best of Ireland. Each episode is set in a different location, from the rugged coastline of Donegal to the rolling hills of Cork. The show also highlights the best of Irish hospitality, featuring local tradespeople and businesses who play a vital role in the local economy. From the traditional pubs to the bustling markets, viewers get a real sense of what life in Ireland is all about.

Another thing that sets Cheap Irish Homes apart from other home renovation shows is the emphasis on sustainable living. Simon and his team work hard to include eco-friendly features in each renovation project, from solar panels to rainwater harvesting systems. This is in keeping with Ireland's commitment to a greener future and is sure to inspire viewers to reduce their own carbon footprint.

In conclusion, Cheap Irish Homes is an incredibly entertaining and informative show that is perfect for anyone interested in Irish culture, architecture or DIY. The show's unique premise, expert presenter and stunning locations make it a must-watch for anyone looking to purchase a property in Ireland or just keen to explore the beauty of the Irish countryside.
