That link is dead :( and no sign of similar on the site. Does anyone have a recent link to similar?

So I register online for new house and say 100% mortgage % relief on that as it's my PPR. Existing house is already registered (via old paper trail) - do I need to reg that online too and set to 0%? My worry re: lender on initial PPR is that this switch of mortgage % relief could prompt them...

Thanks for that. Do the participating banks get automatically informed or does it have any bearing on them? Think I got answer from link: The advantage of submitting your details online is that they are updated on Revenue's TRS system overnight and advised to your...

Hi, If I move to a new PPR and rent out my old PPR how do I switch the mortgage interest relief from the old house to the new? Thanks, Noob.

I got rools of thin foam back reflective stuff specifically for behind rads in B&Q last year. Seems to through out more heat esp. on rads attached to external walls. Cheap and easy to apply. Noob.

We have an open fire and use it frequently over the winter months but are also annoyed by the howl and draft when it's not in use so I put a lot of old scarves in a black bag and bunged it up there. Not a good idea when you forget to remove before subsequently relighting the fire. Is there a...

Just an update for those interested. Council said I've done enough and so not need to pay for a survey. Tobacco smoke in a private residence is not managed by them and that there is very little chance of this being taken on by a solicitor let alone getting to court. I'm now in process of...

Thanks for all the replies. Ringing council after lunch. They guy is a little "odd" - once blamed us for the mouse in his attic, said it had come in from ours! Citizens Advice and engineer I contacted as well as anyone else I've spoken with echo the comments here. Will update thread when I...

Thanks Rainyday. I may do that at some stage. I also have an update. I've spoken to a firm of structural engineers and they agree that it is extremely unlikey to be a problme in the pary wall. However a survey and report will cost in the region of €600. Am I entitled to ask the neighbour to...

Hi, I rent an early 90's semi-D in Dublin and recently my neighbour has been in contact complaining that there is a smell of cigarette smoke in his house that can only be coming from the tenants in mine. Smoking is confined to the sunroom at rear of the house but my neighbour says he can smell...

Update Re: Gas Boiler constantly going on and off Folks, Have done some more testing (after getting a 400 yoyo gas bill for Oct/Nov). With thermo. off d/s and on max (~30) upstairs the boiler comes on and heats up then after 45 mins or so it starts into its on/off bouncing routine. it...

Thanks for all the replies. Very informative. The bouncing only seems to occur whent he system has heated up. Its a sealed system and has water in it and the pressure is about 1.3 bar when running. The rads etc. heat fine it just the constant on and off cycle with 1 min that's the issue. Is it...

Folks, Can someone please help me out here. I've a Ferolli gas boiler and a 2 zone heating system in a detahced two storey. Once the heating has been running for a while the boiler turns itself off and less than a minute later back on again then after another minute it goes off again and so on...

Thanks for that jaybird. You sound like ideal tenants. I'll be keeping an open mind. The reason I started this thread is because of some recommendations I read (on this board I think) that landlords should be wary of pets and children - in a rental rather than general sense I guess. Cheers, Noob.

Superman: Leather suite, timber and tiles everywhere except one bedroom which has carpet. Thought the place would get different wear and tear. Is that all I should be worried about? Any other pitfalls? Without wanting to bait any racists is there a difference from experience in Irish versus...

Folks, I'm renting out a house and lots of response have been from familys (young kids under 5). Is renting to familys a definite no-no? Anyone got experiences to share? As usual, all feedback appreciated. Rgds, Noob.

Will do. Seems to have most things covered, though in multiple threads etc. A rolled up single link may be of use. Cheers, N.

Hi Folks, From experience could someone provide list of gotchas or things to do/not to do when vetting perspective tenants? We're just about to rent our house for the first time and would appreciate any useful feedback Perhaps this thread could be fleshed out with what needs to be done with...

What about the SAPS buying an investment property that is currently owned by the proprietary director? The existing property is a pure investment property and would remain so. The Prop. dirs. involvement would change from being the direct owner to being the owner via a pension. Is such a thing...

Hi Money man, I'm in a similar situation and was wondering if you've any follow-up info on this subject? I'm wondering what happens when/if one stops being a proprietary director or more to the point if one returns to full-time PAYE employment and income to the company dries up? Thanks, noob.
