So again, what costs will be incurred if
A. we sell for 335K and buy a new build for 325K ?
B. we sell for 335K and buy a 2nd hand for 325K ?

  1. Legal fees on sale of old house
  2. Legal fees on purchase of new house
  3. Estate agents fees on sale of old house
  4. Non FTB owner occupier rate of stamp duty on purchase of the house in scenario B (€325 @ 6% = €19.5K)
  5. Moving expenses
  6. Fixed rate breakage penalties if the mortgage on your current PPR is a fixed rate
There may be other costs.
 
a 2nd hand will not mean it is less densely populated or have less cars. we moved into a 25 year old house and suddenly noticed that all the teenagers had scooters and all 20somthings living at home had cars so parking was the same issue as if it was a new estate with a lot of renters cars.

Let the dust settle, shop for couply things like paintings, furniture etc and invite friends over for night. your views may melt away.
However i did feel the same way as you and a family member moved in.
