    Is buying house in Swords right idea now?

    Hi there, There's just a few places in Swords that could be on the wrong side of the fence, if you get my drift. However, the others you mentioned I haven't heard "stay away from".

    selling a house yourself?

    Hi there, I mean that I would knock on peoples doors if the EA wasn't passing bids on, or the neighbours door, if the house is vacant. Didn't mean random pestering people. Sorry, should have been clearer. However, I have to say that bidding 40% less on houses that are still priced in 2006/07...
