Seeking free accommodation in exchange for work/maintenance/security

    Hello,

    I'm looking to find some accommodation somewhere in Ireland in exchange for refurbishment, maintenance or care-taking work on the property. Ideally the property would be a habitable, detached property with some lands attached. All locations considered.

    I am an able-bodied male, early forties, and with considerable skill and experience in home repairs. I need to find a suitable property to complete a music project that may take some months.

    Please include as much information about the property as you can with pictures.

    Thanks a million! :)

    "In Ireland fees vary from €25 - €100 a week, depending on the room size and the location. Camelot also asks you to put down a fully refundable deposit of €500"

    I thought it was too good to be true!

    Camelot charges rent,but it s way below normal market rate ,you are acting like a caretaker,you just have to live there
    eg 150 per month in glasnevin dublin,is very cheap.
