    North facing kitchen and garden

    We are currently searching for a new house and have found one which we like. However, the kitchen and garden are north / north west facing, which is making me question whether we should go for it or not. Has anyone got views on whether this should be a deal-breaker? For anyone with a...

    Prospect Manor, Rathfarnham

    Granite Worktop – Flutes in granite versus stainless steel draining board

    Thanks Ircoha. We are planning to go with a beige/grey type colour granite, against cream gloss kitchen units. I have heard black granite is hard to keep clean. The main reason we were going with granite is it looks good. I don’t really like the look of laminate and think wood worktops would...

    Granite Worktop – Flutes in granite versus stainless steel draining board

    We are looking to get a granite worktop for our kitchen, and are currently considering getting draining flutes/ grooves in the granite beside the sink. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on this as opposed to a stainless steel draining board? Do the flutes drain water sufficiently? We...

    Dalriada, Dublin 16

    I went to have a look at the showhouses recently and thought they were good value too considering they are bigger than a standard 2-bed apartment. I think they are 'only' 450k as they have an apartment underneath them, and there is also no garden. Also, they probably pitched the prices at that...

    Thanks for the responses guys. Being honest, the contents werent listed in the contract. The purchasers made the offer of paying for contracts separately, and we decided to go ahead with this, and i guess it backfired.

(Because of this, we turned an offer of just the asking price.) After signing the contracts, they informed us they now dont want to pay for the contents...

    We agreed that they would pay us separately for the contents. But having signed the contracts, they now refuse to pay for contents and told us to remove all electrical goods (fridge/oven, etc). So was just wondering if we are within our rights to take the carpets too. They are in mint condition...

    We are currently selling our house but, the purchasers have now told us that they do not want the contents. Just wondering are we free to take up the carpets? The contracts are signed and do not list contents.
