dear god! Ah well thanks for that

I've just been onto the revenue website to see what type of rent relief a single person can claim. I thought you got back 20% of whatever rent you pay but I think I have this completely wrong! It says on the revenue chart <55 get 400 rent relief, what does this mean that this is the full amount...

They ususally bring in changes like that immediately I would think esp in this budget they would as its the economical climate thats making them bring in the budget earlier than norm. Aside from that i personally dont think there will be changes in stamp duty but that said wait til after Oct...

I'd say if you're in the Dublin area it would still be a good time to rent

You should be able to get a quote from any solicitor, make sure you do and then agree to use them in case they do overcharge in the end. I rang around a few solicitors for prices before I bought my house and all were able to give a price over the phone, I chose then and got the quote in writing...

Thanks a mil for all the info.

I have an honours degree in Science, graduated in 1999 and am now thinking of going back to do secondary school teaching. Would I have to start from scratch or does my degree still stand to me? I have only worked in admin since.

Eh the last time they changed the stamp duty end of April and only backdated to end of March - 1mth!!

A friend of mine is in a similar position and is looking to extend the closing date til after the budget, owners may be annoyed but not many will have someone else there to buy and Id say will wait the extra few weeks

God you poor thing, deffo get the contract signed cant believe your solicitor has you paying a mortgage to a house that doesnt have your name on!

I too loved ayres rock, there's good hostels there to avoid the dear hotels! If you're going to melbourne do a day tour to the 12 apostles, lovely journey along the coast.

How long did you go for and how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking?

Hi, Hoping to go to tanzania on honeymoon for safari and perhaps a week in zanzibar to relax afterwards. Anyone any tips on how to book this, will prob check trailfinders but anywhere else as most places on the net seem to be UK based. Also might look into going to the west to see primates any...

I dont want to sound condisending but you are only 22!! You're doing really well so just make a decision on what you want to do for the next year. If you have no one to go travelling with and wont go alone then concentrate on getting a car within your means (9k is alot for a run around, you can...

Deffo go for it, you're youngster will have the pleasure of telling his/her pals when they're in their teens that he/she did their first festival before they were one - excellent idea, hope it works out for you!!

Do not agree to the current asking price whatever you do!!! Definitely try and sell your own house first as this could take anything up to a year or more and you may not get as much money as you expect from it especially in the current climate. By that stage the house you're looking at may have...

I'd get on to the agent to step up their marketing of it but then again it is your sisters house and if she isnt bothered then I wouldnt worry!

Yes generally credit unions only give twice yoru savings for your first loan. You are mad to buy an apartment though a house will be alot easier to sell on and who knows how long this recession will last!

I'd pay the 10k and go, I'm in a similar position but the builder is hanging in to get as much as possible from us. 20k seems like nothing!

Defintiely ok for short term or even a few months use. I used 100% deet in oz and would never use any less as they eat me alive and its the only thing that ever keeps them away. Once you have a high deet spray on (50-100%) they wont go near you. Definitely going to try the vitamin B now too...
