    Get some legal advice. If you handle this the wrong way (according to the letter of the law, you could end up losing out big time.

    Unregistered landlord

    Apparently landlord coughed up without further a do! Re Marshmellow's comment, as a landlord myself, I believe that if you are foolish enough to try to go below the radar screen, the tenant has you by the short and curlies. Regardless of contracts etc, it is all about balance of power at the...

    Unregistered landlord

    I have a friend who was renting a property from (as it turns out) an unregistered landlord. He is terminating a 1 year lease 3 months early as he has bought a place (brave man that he is). The landlord is withholding the deposit. As a landlord myself I have never withheld deposits on early...

    Dear all We are about to start our build and looking for an architect/engineer to manage. Build cost likely to be €500k. We have a builder who has recommended an architect/engineer to work with. We had an architect before but persistent overcharging and poor service led us to dispense with...

    Do I need an Architect?

    Dermot Bannon is not a great advertisement for architects! His designs and fighting with clients leave a lot to be desired. Having been stung by a member of said profession - a few tips : 1. Get a quote for everything (including repeat planning applications). Watch out for "minor cost for...

    NTLs request to run new cable across my new facias.

    They are not entitled to do anything. It is entirely at your discretion. One positive point, it does give you the facility to cut off the neighbours if they are noisy etc.

    Insurance Company - Cold calling?

    Does the Consumer Protection Code not stop this regardless of what you previously agreed to?

    Mouthy McDowell

    Absolutely agree. Gerry had not got a clue and McDowell will not let him weasel his way out of the issues. The bigger question is what was Gerry doing there in the first place? Surely an own goal from SF.

    Enda V Bertie

    Pretty boring. Both are poor debaters. No winner as far as I was concerned. Both seemed to play for a scoreless draw. Don't think it will change anything. I agree Miriam let the rambling go on too long but she was a hell of a lot better than Mark Little who should not be let out. Its no...

    fianna fail in trouble

    I think its going to be the Bertie and Pat show after the election. FG will be left swinging in the wind despite pre-election pacts etc. Nothing like the sniff of power for Labour to abandon previous promises for "the good of the country".

    Eddie Hobbs & the junior school

    While I sympathise with the school I wasn't sure of the point of the programme. Eddie considers the issues, mulls them around, and at the end of the 30 mins (less ads) can't come up with anything......sounds like the bottom of the barrel was being scraped. Is it near the end of the series?

    Electric Windows problem 1997 mazda xeodus

    I recommend you don't touch it. I would cover it up with plastic or something as the cost of fixing could go up exponentially when you go to the grimacing mechanic at the garage ("If you hadn't had a go at it, it would be much cheaper"). Btw Xedos were a fine car and very underrated...

    Be wary of "100% Capital Guarantee Inducements", Study AAM Best Buy thread.

    Re: "be Wary Of 100% Capital Guarantee Inducements I heartily agree. There is a view out there that offering a bond with a 100% guarantee ticks all the boxes and "thats all right then". The truth can be that your chances of getting decent upside are worse than winning the Lotto. This is...

    commute, Blackrock - Sandyford Ind. Est

    Grand. Lived there for a good while myself but rent out the house now. The Luas is being extended up beyond Glencairn so car will not be a necessity after 2009 if you want to get into the smoke or Ind Est.
