Hi
I m a first time buyer so excuse any ignorance and no smart answers please.
My Wife and I are currently in neogations for a new three bedroom apartment in Belarmine Plaza.
Castlethorn were originally looking for 375k, managed to reduce this down by 38k.
The apartment is a turn key solution 1000sq feet and really nice. I have rented in this area for the last five years and really like it. I m only 5 minutes from work.
My mortgage will be fixed at 2.49% for the first two years.(ICS). The only issue I have is the property management fee is €1900 a year, steep I think.
My rent was €1300 my current mortgage repayment will be €1180. ( factoring in the management fee per month)
Am I getting a good deal in your opinion. I was on daft and my home 3 bedrooms are a lot more in Stepaside. Plus I get €5000 interior voucher if I move in within 21 day. ( nothing else to spend on)
I m tired of paying rent and I know house prices might drop a lot more. I suppose in a worse case scenario I can rent a rent a room and get at least €450 a month for it.
The Luas will be only a 10 minute walk away when its completed. Any feed back would be great I m getting a lot of
negativity from people where on the other hand some people are saying that i m getting a good deal.
