H A McIlrath & Sons Ltd

Over a Century of Rural Expertise

We have been at the heart of the Northern Irish farming community since 1917. For over 100 years, H.A. McIlrath & Sons Ltd has built a reputation for integrity and deep-rooted local knowledge. Based in the historic town of Kilrea, near the scenic north coast, we have grown from a local firm into a specialist agency serving clients across the entire province.

Whether you are looking to sell a multi-million pound farm, value a small parcel of grazing land, or find a rural residence with character, we bring a century of experience to the table. We understand that agricultural property is more than just a transaction; it is often a family legacy.
