Thanks everyone, some very useful tips! Docarch you were so on the money as this was the standard cost with some higher and a few dodgy mobile numbers! I’ve decided to go direct labour with a project manager… here’s hoping!

I still think the majority of houses are overvalued and as for estate agents… would it be so difficult to have a property register? The banana republic strikes again!

I have tried to Google houses prices for 2002 but to no avail. How do I go about accurately assessing these prices rather than listening to an estate agent? I’ve tried road names 2002, Dublin house prices 2002 etc. I know we don’t have a register but there must be some method? Any advice would...

I am looking for some recommendations re a car mechanic. I have a BMW 320 and BMW are looking to charge me €550 + VAT for breaks for an old car. The person I bought the car off always had it serviced by BMW and my own mechanic has emigrated so I’m stuck. Any recommendations in Terenure?

The response from the employer is look around which i've done. He pays for a parking space @ E150 per month. There are no available spaces where he parks hence the post.

Cheers truthseeker, I had that thought in the back of my mind. I didn’t know you could rent them in Ireland. I was down in Wexford over the last bank holiday and got to see some Kite Suffers! Now that looked cool!!! I prob should have started the tread with Kite Suffers! Aura
