    Should I reduce the rent?

    If you can provide indisputable, verifiable evidence that a previously agreed passing rent is in line with current market rents then all is well. However I believe that residential rents are falling, as does the CSO and the Daft.ie survey. Tenants should be aware that they are protected by the...

    Should I reduce the rent?

    The reviewed rent under the Act is established by reference to comparable lettings evidence. If 'what you can get for it' exceeds the market rent as defined in the Act then there's a problem.

    Should I reduce the rent?

    Landlords are prohibited by the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 from charging above the market rent for a tenancy. As asking rents have fallen by approximately 11% in the past year I don't think it's unreasonable for tenants to ensure that the rent they are paying is the going rate.

    Of course 'professionals' operate in an economic world untouched by the vagaries of "normal" recessions, where career paths stretch into the distance like the yellow brick road. Regarding the role of the Central Bank this article from 2004 makes for interesting reading. [broken link removed]

    How is house valuation arrived at?

    Valuers can use several methods of valuation but the most common is the comparable method, where the property's value is assessed based on the recent market sales of similar comparable properties. And never take valuation or property advice from an agent or valuer who will arrive at a value as...

    Return of booking deposit

    I'd be very surprised if it was a matter of 'cash-flow' problems for the agent. Deposit monies are lodged in a client account separate from the business account of the agent. Call the agent and advise them that you will save them the cost of a stamp and that you will collect in person a valid...

    Cars with no brake lights/one headlight

    How do people know that driving with their fog lights on looks cool if they cant see their own fog lights? That is. They are in their own car and therefore can't observe their fog lights and are denied the aesthetic pleasure of observed coolness. Is it a case of drivers seeing other cars...

    It might be possible to add the outstanding amount (say €25,000 in this instance) to the mortgage to buy another house; assuming that the new mortgage is with the same lender and the lender agrees to the arrangement. Some UK banks certainly accommodated customers with negative equity in this...
