    Exploding window!

    Exact same thing happened this summer to a very large pane (internal) installed in my new kitchen extension roof last November. Thankfully we were away at the time because it would have killed anyone near it when it exploded & the small fragments left marks in the wooden floor, plastered ceiling...

    Loss of earning cert

    Your employer can fill in the date from when your absence commenced and state that it’s ongoing. If you have no idea as to when you might be fit to return, piab will most likely release your claim and you’ll then have to issue proceedings.

    Apartment sale - Managing agent “scrivenary fee” & service charge

    Not sure to be honest but I suspect the 2012 requirement might have been introduced to pull apartments into the mix as a house would always have been mapped/included within the Land Registry (ie your house was already recorded).

    Apartment sale - Managing agent “scrivenary fee” & service charge

    I had to instruct a surveyor to complete the digital map (think it’s also known as a geometric survey?), was charged €400.00 for it. It looked like a downloaded ordnance map with a map of the apartment floorplan attached. Think it’s been a requirement since 2012, the map has to be registered...

    Apartment sale - Managing agent “scrivenary fee” & service charge

    Thanks for clearing things up, comforting to know I should get something back. I feel like I am being fleeced at every turn with the sale of this apartment.The whole process is costing far more than I had anticipated (although the mental load that will be lifted once the place is finally...

    Apartment sale - Managing agent “scrivenary fee” & service charge

    I’m in the process of selling an apartment which is part of a large multi unit development. The managing agent (one of the big ones in Dublin) has been requested to forward the usual documents to enable my solicitor complete the formal requisitions. While not expecting the managing agent to do...

    Lunch stop. Dublin to Cork.

    We always stop at the Horse & Jockey hotel, you can get proper pub grub or sit beside the fire in the cafe/bakery and have a lighter snack. It’s great because it’s pretty much halfway and no more than a minute off motorway.

    My partner got a 100% tracker with AIB in 2005 as a FTB for a new-build apartment, drew down mortgage Sept 2006. So yes, AIB did give 100% trackers!!

    Solicitors fee personal injury

    An application to PIAB costs €45. Medical report is required upon submission of PIAB application, which probably cost @€250 if completed by your GP and was very probably included in your damages as agreed in the final settlement. Solicitor probably spent @30 minutes determining who should be...

    End of rental income - 2018 Preliminary Tax query

    Cheers JPD. I had always read "90% of the tax due for that year" to be the tax due for the year of the final assessment (as in this instance, 2017) but reading it again, "that year" seems to be the year for which the prelim tax is being paid and does not seem to be tied into the 2017 return. I'm...

    End of rental income - 2018 Preliminary Tax query

    Ok, guess that's the nub of my issue. It has always seemed to me that the 90% payment was based on the previous year's final return (i.e. for 2018 it would be 90% of the 2017 return). However, if it is 90% of the 2018 "expected" income (which in this case is final as I am in receipt of no more)...

    End of rental income - 2018 Preliminary Tax query

    Thanks for your reply Gordon Gekko, however it is also the one I feared as I will be paying a lot of tax on income I will never receive. Can I expect an actual refund after submitting the 2018 return next year or a "credit" against future rental income tax liabilities (of which there will be none)??

    End of rental income - 2018 Preliminary Tax query

    I am a bit confused as to what to do with the 2018 Preliminary tax payment on the 2017 return. I have been renting an apartment since 2011, tax up to date and now in the process of completing return for 2017 income (am PAYE and this is the only source of additional income)However, the tenancy...
