Last updated: 27 August 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of www.gardenhomecompany.ie (“the Website”).

The Website is operated by Garden Home Company (“Garden Home Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Website.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. Nothing in these Terms affects any mandatory rights you may have under Irish consumer law.

2. Purpose of This Website

The Website provides general information about Garden Home Company, our garden homes, our services, indicative pricing, planning and building requirements and the process involved in assessing a potential garden-home project.

Information on the Website is intended as general information only unless expressly incorporated into a separate written contract between you and Garden Home Company.

Using the Website, contacting us or submitting an enquiry does not by itself create a contractual relationship between you and Garden Home Company.

3. Check My Garden

Our “Check My Garden” facility allows homeowners to provide preliminary information about their property so that we can carry out an initial assessment.

This may include information such as:

  • Property location or Eircode
  • Whether you own and occupy the property
  • Approximate garden dimensions
  • Proposed use of the garden home
  • Photographs or other information concerning the property

Any response provided through this preliminary process is based on the information available to us at that time.

An initial indication that your garden appears suitable does not constitute:

  • A guarantee that the development qualifies for a planning exemption
  • Planning permission or confirmation of exempted development
  • Building-control approval
  • Engineering certification
  • A final design
  • A final quotation
  • A guarantee that construction can proceed
  • Legal, financial, planning or tax advice

Final suitability may depend on a site survey, accurate measurements, title and boundary information, access, drainage, utilities, ground conditions, building regulations and other technical or legal requirements.

4. Planning and Regulatory Information

We aim to ensure that planning, building-control and regulatory information displayed on the Website is accurate and current when published.

However, planning legislation, regulations, statutory guidance, local-authority practices and building requirements may change.

The application of planning exemptions or other regulations may also depend on the individual circumstances of a particular property.

You should therefore not begin construction, incur significant expense or make legal or financial decisions solely on the basis of general information published on the Website.

Where you engage Garden Home Company for a project, the particular planning, building-control, design and certification responsibilities included within our services will be set out in your written proposal or contract.

5. Building Regulations and Certification

Garden homes intended for residential use may be subject to applicable Irish Building Regulations, building-control procedures and other statutory requirements.

The specific services and certification to be provided by Garden Home Company in connection with an individual project will be stated in the relevant quotation, proposal or contract.

Statements on this Website concerning certification, BER ratings, building performance, construction standards or specifications describe our intended service or standard unless otherwise stated.

Final certification and performance depend on the completed project satisfying the relevant requirements and assessment procedures.

6. Pricing

Prices and cost information displayed on the Website are intended to provide general guidance unless expressly described as a binding quotation.

The final cost of a garden home may depend on factors including:

  • Size
  • Specification
  • Finishes
  • Site conditions
  • Groundworks
  • Site access
  • Existing services
  • Drainage and utility connections
  • Design requirements
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Additional works requested by the customer

Where we provide an initial budget range following an enquiry, it is indicative only.

A binding project price will only arise where a written quotation, proposal or contract expressly states that the price is fixed and the customer accepts it in accordance with its terms.

Any assumptions, exclusions, allowances or conditions relating to a quotation will be stated in the relevant quotation or contract.

7. Quotations and Project Contracts

A garden-home construction project is a significant construction service and will be governed by separate project-specific documentation.

Before work proceeds, the parties may enter into a written quotation, proposal, construction contract or other agreement setting out matters such as:

  • Scope of works
  • Design and specification
  • Price
  • VAT where applicable
  • Deposit and payment schedule
  • Programme
  • Site access
  • Customer responsibilities
  • Variations
  • Delays
  • Certification
  • Completion
  • Warranties
  • Cancellation or termination rights
  • Dispute procedures

If there is any conflict between these Website Terms and a separately signed project contract, the project contract will apply to the project to the extent of that conflict.

8. Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under Irish law.

Where you are acting as a consumer, you may have rights under legislation including the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and other applicable Irish and EU consumer-protection legislation.

Services supplied to consumers will be provided in accordance with the standards required by applicable consumer law.

Where a legally binding service contract is entered into online, by telephone, at your home or through another distance or off-premises method, statutory information and cancellation rights may apply.

Where applicable, information concerning those rights, including any applicable cancellation period and cancellation procedure, will be provided before you become bound by the relevant contract.

9. Commencement of Services During a Cancellation Period

Where applicable consumer legislation gives you a statutory cancellation period and you expressly request that services begin during that period, the consequences of that request will be explained to you before work begins.

Where permitted by law, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for services properly supplied before you exercise a statutory right to cancel.

Nothing in this section limits any statutory consumer right.

10. Project Timelines

Any timescale stated on the Website is an estimate unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Actual project timescales may be affected by matters including:

  • Statutory notice periods
  • Regulatory approvals or procedures
  • Site conditions
  • Weather
  • Material availability
  • Utility connections
  • Changes requested by the customer
  • Third-party contractors
  • Access restrictions
  • Circumstances outside our reasonable control

Project-specific programmes will be addressed in the relevant quotation or contract.

11. Customer Information

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide to us is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge.

This includes information regarding:

  • Occupancy
  • Boundaries
  • Site dimensions
  • Existing buildings
  • Access
  • Utilities
  • Drainage
  • Planning history
  • Restrictions affecting the property

If relevant information supplied to us is materially inaccurate or incomplete, this may affect feasibility, pricing, design or delivery.

12. Property Ownership and Permissions

You are responsible for ensuring that you have appropriate authority to request an assessment of a property and, before entering into construction arrangements, appropriate legal authority to authorise works on the relevant property.

Where property is jointly owned, mortgaged, leased or otherwise subject to third-party rights, additional consents may be required.

You should obtain independent legal advice where you are uncertain about property ownership, title, lending or third-party rights.

13. Finance, Valuation, Insurance and Tax

Information on the Website concerning potential property value, rental income, tax treatment, mortgages, lending or insurance is general information only.

Garden Home Company does not act as a:

  • Financial adviser
  • Mortgage adviser
  • Tax adviser
  • Insurance adviser
  • Solicitor
  • Property valuer

Individual circumstances vary and decisions regarding finance, taxation, insurance, property valuation or legal ownership should be discussed with an appropriately qualified independent professional.

Garden Home Company cannot guarantee that any lender, insurer, valuer, tax authority or other third party will adopt a particular position in relation to a garden home.

14. Website Accuracy

We take reasonable care to keep information on the Website accurate and up to date.

However, specifications, designs, finishes, images, legislation, pricing information and other content may change.

Images, drawings, renders and photographs may be illustrative and may show optional items, finishes, landscaping, furniture or features that are not included as standard.

Final specifications will be those stated in the relevant written quotation or contract.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
