    Thanks Brendan. Man on phone told me 4.2 for this or 3.99 if we can prove ltv of less than 80%. I reckon our ltv is about 75%. We'll have to use one if their valuers to prove this. I didn't see any mention of these rates on.the site.

    Areas in south dublin can you recommend to buy in?

    Firhouse is nice, also check out Ballycullen area. If I had 250k to spend thats where I'd be looking. In Lucan I would look at Castle Riada out of the estates mentioned.

    Castle Riada in Lucan

    Castle Riada is fine. Quiet enough, have never heard of anti social problems. It is not that close to Foxborough for that to be an issue. I am not sure about the school but I believe the best schools are in St. Mary's parish. For example Esker Meadows across the road is in St. Marys parish.
