    "Rents are at a record high – so why are private landlords selling up?"

We rented it for 8 years and it only washed it's face for 2 of those, so we were happy to exit the market. In terms of pension, I think there are better...

    "Rents are at a record high – so why are private landlords selling up?"

    We finalised the sale of our 'investment property' last week. Accidental landlords, sold for €1k less than what we paid for it in 2007, tenants moved out last November, and we were afraid to rent again as we felt we'd have trouble getting the house back to sell in the future. We had great...

    Sports club registering for VAT or apply for VAT exemption?

    Thanks for the reply. There would be no business element to the development, unless there is a small rental income from renting the astro pitch. I will contact the FAI for advice.

    Do The Jimmy Barry Murphy!!!

    Cork didn't play that badly, they scored 3-16 and only had 3 wides for the whole game, that's an amazing stat. I hope Davy doesn't play a sweeper again for the replay.
