Testimonials

All of our period property listings are featured on Former Glory to give them maximum exposure. We are thrilled with the enquiries we receive from the website and social media pages. The social media campaigns on our new launches are excellent and truly drive traffic to our properties.

Roseanne De Vere Hunt, Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes, Farms & Estates
We have used Former Glory a number of times and found the service excellent. It provides genuine enquiries on a national level, through the website and social platforms. We have had enquiries from buyers much further afield up the country. It is an excellent tool to use when selling any period property.
Ed O’Donovan, Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan
I would like to thank Chris at Former Glory for his efficiency and being so great to work with. Gets the job done and everything runs smoothly. I would definitely recommend Former Glory to friends and intend to use again here at Streets Ahead Properties. Thanks Chris for great work.
Peri Griffin, Streets Ahead Properties
We have been delighted to feature our property listings on the Former Glory website. The platform has proven to be very effective for showcasing period properties, including estate houses, notable historic properties and traditional farmhouses; some in need of a new chapter, and others just continuing their story. They are a pleasure to deal with and everything is handled and communicated with ease. We would gladly recommend formerglory.ie as a valuable advertising tool.
Jessica Pyburn, Charles McCarthy Estate Agents
We have been pleased to include Former Glory as part of our online marketing strategy since 2013. We have found the website to be a perfect match for our niche business in the country house and estate sector of the property market and an excellent aide to helping us cover this specialist sector. Chris has always been unfailingly attentive and we believe the website offers excellent value.
Michael Daniels, Michael H. Daniels & Co.
I would consider formerglory.ie to be a very strong part of my advertising agenda, and have been extremely pleased with the results over the years in terms of enquiries, viewings, and actual sales. I would highly recommend advertising on formerglory.ie for those who wish to sell a historic or unusual property and want to get real results.
Helen Cassidy, Premier Properties Ireland
Thank you Former Glory for your listing of Cashlieve House, Ballinlough, Co. Roscommon. Your customer service and attention to detail was excellent. This was a perfect property for someone wishing to restore to its Former Glory and your promotion of this property helped us achieve exceptional interest and results. We at REA Seamus Carthy will certainly be using your company again and look forward to working with you.
Seamus Carthy, REA Seamus Carthy
First time I have used the website ‘Former Glory’ with a property that was built in the early 1800’s, Larkfield House and I was very surprised from the amount of enquiries I received from the website. It was the first time that I received so many enquiries from overseas clients and I would have no problem in using the service again and recommending it to any other estate agents.
Declan O'Leary, Sherry FitzGerald O'Leary Kinsella
We listed a derelict two-story period residence on Former Glory and had an immediate response resulting in a significant number of genuine enquiries which ultimately led to the sale of the property. We will be listing all our period properties on the website and highly recommend Former Glory to agents and owners selling restored and derelict period property in Ireland.

Press Coverage

Former Glory has been featured in many of the national newspapers and on RTE. The first coverage was in The Sunday Times Home Section back in July 2007 in an article by Niall Toner and since then the website has appeared in The Irish Independent, The Irish Times, The Sunday Business Post and various other publications.

“A new website offers advice and information to anyone who wants to bring old buildings back to life.”

“www.formerglory.ie is dedicated to the purchase, sale and restoration of historic structures, the fringe oddities of the property world.”

“Fancy restoring a crumbling gothic tower or a dilapidated mill? Ireland has ruins aplenty needing buyers with the inspiration and the funds to revive them.”

“Restoring a derelict property is not a job for everyone but, with some patience and the right builder, a pile of stones can be turned into a home”
