It'll probably be sold in the not too distant future or one buy the other out (if that's even possible considering NE). I'm just curious if the additional investment is burned now, or do I have any claim on the improvement. Like in an extreme example, if the house was worth 50k when we bought...

Hi all, I have recently personally invested 25k into the house jointly owned by myself and my wife on the understanding that it would be our family home. Circumstances have changed and a separation is inevitable. Will I be allowed any extra equity in the (now improved) value of the house as a...

Hi, Similar to the post here, I am in a position like the other OP. I'm shortly going to be in a similar position, albeit is I who want to take over the mortgage. Mortgage got for190. Tracker with ptsb. Current balance approx 170 Now worth possibly 135-140 I spent 20k on adding an...

Hi Brendan and thanks a million (albeit belatedly) for the detailed answer. How does the proposed change in the budget change your recommendations/suggestions (if at all) ? http://www.independent.ie/national-news/tax-changes-to-spark-surge-in-farm-transfers-2394089.html

I would like to ask those in the know here about the benefits (or lack thereof), taxation wise, of gifting versus inheriting. An estate worth approx €1.3m split between 4 children are the figures in question. The €1.3m is split 75% land & house, 25% money. no mortgages are owing on the...

Well sort of, yes. Perhaps not all, but definitely half. If the time comes when she needs/wants to move into a retirement village, then the liquid part would be to pay for that, and the other half could be organised to pay out within 6 months - 1 year later. Do you follow? She's pretty...

Hi, Things have changed for the worse since THIS post. My mother has had an unfortunate situation with BoI which I would like to get some advice on: My mother and father had €300k invested in joint names in the BoI Guaranteed Evergreen Bond since about 4-5 years ago. Early in the New Year...

Hi, My mum has recently received 300k and I want her to put it somewhere where she can get a good return on it. She's elderly and this is to pay for any and all expenses she may have for the rest of her days. She does NOT want a long-term fixed account as 'value of investments may go down as...

Hey everyone. Is it legal for companies to have "agreements" with each other whereby one will not hire applicants if currently employed by the other ? I know of a case where this is happening and would like to know if such things are normal. Thanks. T.

I despise the idea (which seems to tbe gaining popularity) that the number invited to the wedding is irrelevant because it will pay for itself. This in itself is a perfect reason to give a gift which will still exist after a week when the money is spent on the hotel bill.

Or so the story goes, at least.

I need to get a TV to fit the following dimensions 84x53x22cms (incl stand) That seems to restrict me to 26in widescreens. Some TVs would fit if they didn't sit so high off the stand, as this then rules them out. Would anyone be able to give me an idea of brands that have the bottom of the...

If you dropped out of college during the first year (and were receiveing grants up to that point), and now, years later, want to enter a course, will the fees be paid ?

My mortgage has just come out of its fixed period and now I have the choice of a 5.75% tracker or a 6.35% fixed for another 2 years. I'm tempted to go for the tracker as even 2 increases (2 x 0.25%) by the ECB will still be below the 6.35% fixed rate. What are you feelings on this ? I'm of the...

Re: Is it legal for employer to start deducting money from your wages for lunches etc This looks like they are testing the water to gauge reactions. I would hazard a guess that they will not make any deductions, but instead remove the benefit of a free lunch for staff.

Forgive my ignorance, but what else do kitchen taps come in ? Also, Lidl are doing one [broken link removed] if you want to try one before you 'splash out' (excuse the pun) on an expensive one.

Actually, I didn't. It was a suggestion to try an alternative search engine. Nowhere did I 'ask' anyone what they thought of it. Agree with me ? On what discussion ? Where did I say that ? Again, I fail to see the disagreement or argument, but there you go. I'm also sorry that you feel that...

Excellent, that's at least 40 mins off the journey. Would be nice to see a road to Sligo from Athlone of the same standard. Then again, I wouldn't hold my breath for that one.

Low post count...check. Post link to BBC about new search engine <> promoting self-serving ideas. Defensive ? No, I don't think so. But hey, you want to believe that I'm a sneaky PR person for a search engine who posts on here...so be it. I have no inclination to bother trying to convince you...
