Very interesting info FioBi thank you for posting this.

Because, in this vendors case, they are concerned that general rental income will not even cover continued depreciation of the property. This is why they are selling. They also don't wish to undertake the investment required now to bring the property to a rentable level. You at least gave me a...

As I mentioned in the first post 'It would also allow me to finish my degree, assess my employment prospects at that point and allow time to repair my icb report.'. Due to the latter our prospects of obtaining a mortgage at the moment appear to be very difficult. That said it is an avenue we are...

Done, thanks for the link.

I would think it's very clear whats in it for the vendor. He get's to lock in his desired sale price now with the fallback in two years time of €25k in hand and a much upgraded property. Crystal balls aside price fluctuations are not the determining factor in the decision. Our own circumstances...

We are discussing the following offer with the agent for a house in which we are interested. The asking price is €275,000 with no current offers. It had gone sale agreed earlier in the year but the prospective purchasers were unable to obtain finance. What we are discussing doing is offering...

Anything with Navteq maps will be fine for Ireland. They finally completed 'full'(ish bearing in my our on-going infrastructure work) earlier this year.

I stand corrected. Could you elaborate on how much you get etc?

Shame it has to get this far. I actually know a girl who has a series of incredibly bad problems with her new home and her dealings with the builder amounted to him continually fobbing her off for almost a year. Her father (who was in his 70's and not known for his patience) lost it one...

Yes.

Zero. Would it be possible to combine renting a room as Clubman suggest with part-time work during the academic year and full-time otherwise? This would be very tough though. I was in a very similar situation last year and simply sold up, pocketed a substantial profit, and am comfortably...

This sounds like it's worth a try. There's a definate slowdown in the market so anything that might turn potential buyers away from his new developments is likely to light a fire under him :D

Ah thats not true they are just sick of constantly being asked. They will definately be getting in at least one more shipment if not two before Christmas it's just a question of keeping an eye on the website and nabbing it.

I use mine with a vga cable and hd ready set so it is possible (and probably cheaper). Can't recommend a particular brand but i'm sure someone will.

Two sources that are often overlooked are Argos and XtraVision. While not in stock at the moment you can reserve one on the argos website once it is in stock. I picked mine up in XtraVision Balbriggan this morning though they weren't able to accomadate anyone who hadn't pre-booked it. First...

Not sure if it's because you're a woman per se but i've definately found the more attractive the woman the less courteous (more bitchy?) other women are in any given situation. There's a distinct downtrend in manners generally though. I personally suspect it's part and parcel of the Celtic...

Are you sure about that? I know a couple of people with UK licenses and although both have been told by Gardai they must change following enquiries they tell me there is no obligation, currently at least, to do so.

As Santanta points out your theories here are way off. The only reason to get a new car every year is if that new number plate is important to you. In reality it will cost you many thousands extra just to do that. Personally i think there's far too much ego involved in car ownership (or rather...

Specs? It's nonsense as far as i know. Basically he's talking about using gps systems with on-board computers on every car on the road to communicate with each other and determine if a crash is about to happen and then intervene in the cars controls to avoid the crash. In theory it's possible...
