    Have we lost our sense of decency?

    This simply to vent and as forum name let off some steam: The other evening whilst collecting my kids from training as we left the facility one of the coastguard helis was hovering overhead (venue has a river running alongside). As we exited there was across the road a lot of emergency...

    First Time Skiing Holiday

    Have been to a few resorts and enjoyed Kitzbuhl in Austria (also Morzine/Avoriaz on French/Swiss border. But a place I went many times with a group and then with family was Kranjska Gora in Slovenia. Not a resort people would think off but available for past couple of years through CrystalSki (I...

    Can the last residential Landlord turn out the lights?

    Just to add as a landlord who has being toying with the idea of selling up this has made the decision for me.... not in a RPZ ... yet!...SW tenants who have been there a long time no issues really look after the place ( in return we have been more than fair re rent... could get few hundred more...

    Permanent TSB Customer Un-Service!

    Lol! :)I can get the statement online but as these accounts get audited I need to include the original statements. I could do as suggested and ask for proof but in reality probably wont be bothered as not worth my time/effort. Have found them onerous to deal with anyway (all simple things but...

    Permanent TSB Customer Un-Service!

    I appreciate admin costs; my point really is related to being at a point where customer service is non-existent and my amusement at the time and effort put into "investigating my complaint". Ironically this cost is far more than 2.50...in fact the cost of postage,stationary etc they used would...

    Permanent TSB Customer Un-Service!

    This is more of a rant really but also to highlight what imho is how far some Banks have gone from anything that resembles customer service. Basic background is I am Treasurer of a voluntary committee within an organisation. The accounts are with PTSB (my own personal Banking is elsewhere) and...

    Who Pays for funeral?

    Hopefully wont be addressing this issue anytime soon but just looking for some feedback. My mother approaching 80 and health only so/so. Fiercely independent and sharp as a tack but physically not so. Unfortunately (and am sure will come to us all) not ready to admit she needs more help and some...

    Mice....when is it safe to assume they gone?

    Just going on my experience but I would set some traps if I were you. They are so effective ( my death toll of 15 is proof enough!) they are very easy to set no need to fear them. Use the Pre baited ones with peanut butter ( I always topped them up to increase smell but not necessary). Obviously...

    Mice....when is it safe to assume they gone?

    This morning brought 3 more bodies bringing death toll to 15! Nothing for past 18hrs and no sign of traps being disturbed so not sure if we should be cautiously optimistic or if they biding their time before striking with next wave!! My wife taking boys and leaving if they still around at...

    Mice....when is it safe to assume they gone?

    The Joys of living in the country! From time to time had a mouse but nothing like this......After catching sight of one Sunday yesterday turned into a massacre with 8 caught and as of today up to 11! Obviously Mum arrived and produced a brood (hopefully just the one litter!!). Most got were...

    Tyrrelstown debacle.... Impact on landlords?

    And that's my concern with the current race to the bottom to cobble together a government. I don't trust that unecessary legislation be rushed through as a populous move. Housing is one of the biggest issues facing the next government and whilst this may be unique in scale it could result in all...

    Tyrrelstown debacle.... Impact on landlords?

    Been following the Tyrrelstown debacle with interest and a lot of emotive debate with calls for legislstative changes to " protect" tenants. Am just wondering given the whole housing issue in general and the current political uncertainty are we potentially facing scenarios whereby tenants get...

    Rent review and terminations

    So my wife met with tenants... All very cordial they very eager to stay and have agreed rent increase ( the increase is going to include payment towards arrears so not really as much an increase as it seems...., think this is a fair agreement).... Impressed upon them that no further tolerance...
