I'm jointly assesed with my wife. She is a PAYE worker where as I am not. We've been paying PRSI and levies for the last few years. Should we not have been?

Hi, from a slightly different angle... Its extremely difficult to completely soundproof betweeen floors of an old building, I've tried. I'm sure you've googled sound insulatution, its more complicated than you might imagine. I would suggest that even if the landlord/s of both apartments wanted...

I agree with everything Mommah has to say. Just wish more people could hear her.

Re: Problems will Afforable home Hi Rob, Just before you get too worried....... I've worked as a snagger on a good few different estates and the specific problems you mention in your op are very common for a year old house. Cracks appearing around the edges of windows, ceilings, architrave...

In order of replies: Spoke to my normally very fussy solicitor who felt that as long as I could get a "declaration of uninterrupted long term use" then legally she'd be happy with it. The bank has said yes as its looking at it as a commercial loan due to the fact we have 2 other rental...

Thanks for the replies, will have both an engineer and solicitor have a look at it next week. Have asked the council about it and as long as I'm not doing any more structural work they seem to be powerless/ don't really care about it. Have also tried to ask Insurance co. but hard to get...
