We are sale agreed on a 1960s 3 bed semi with garage in Dublin. It has gas central heating but the windows are single glazed. We would like to retrofit it (at present it is supposed to be a BER rating of F). The house also needs to be rewired. Ideally we will rent and get the rewiring done...

Hi Tks for the replies. The person who came to take measurements brought the 3 different doors. Off white/ivory won! The oak was too similar yet too different to the maple floors and the dark walnut was just too dark and bland so we are going with off white. Dh who was mad keen to get oak is...

Thanks I am afraid the oak will clash. If we got walnut I would definitely go with dark walnut. Dh likes the idea of wood and thinks it is horrible to have painted solid wood -nicer to show the grain. Good idea about getting samples. Hopefully the shop will give/lend us some.

In some part of the country they have reached 1999 prices and in some cases even less when you convert the present price back to punts. The realistically priced houses on daft or myhome are around 1999 prices (we bought our house that year so know the prices for Dublin and Meath back then).

How much % do EA normally take. if a house is only going to sell for 100K will they put much effort into selling it if they get €450 upfront?

Hi my husband wants to sell a house he has owned for over 20 years. Up until now it was occupied by a dependent relative (no rent paid). The relative has passed away and husband wants to sell the house. We have a few questions about estate agents - how do we go about choosing an EA? Some houses...

Hi I have no heating this morning. The level on the tank shows it to be half full but it was like this before the cold spell (dh checked it) I can't get the button on it to press so don't know what the level is. The burner is still making a noise but not firing more like something ticking over...
