I suppose my concern is that bc we won’t have a contractor on site until probably late august or September I thought it would be prudent to have say PI or PL just in case as you know how people can be. In terms of the ROW, it’s not registered, but has existed for more than 20 years. it may be a...

I could also do with a recommendation we bought a site that has a15m lane way that will be our driveway as we own it outright. However there are 2 house that flank either side as in our driveway runs between the gable sides. We know that for one house, we need to allow access for maintenance of...

Anybody own one and if so how do you like it? I’m not sure how popular they are, I’m looking for a new hatchback. Bigger with a bit more luxury than my previous little hatch. I had a pretty nice ex demo Yaris, automatic 1.2ltr and sold it just before Xmas as I desperately needed something...

The new ACA designation won’t make it any more difficult for you to obtain planning permission in the future than your house being a protected structure already. Irrespective of whether a demise is protected or not the ACA will mean that people won’t be to alter the appearance of any external...

Don’t underestimate adjacent neighbours no matter how close or far they may be from your site. We are in a situation where one of our adjoining neighbours has decided to apply to extend upwards for new floor including two bedrooms & bath directly overlooking our private open space and straight...

Anyone have any experience doing this on a flat roof? I know it's not a new thing but will new to us. New build and will be using this as part of our SUDS requirements, am thinking that using a sedum mixture will be best; have seen some of the wildflower mixtures and they look interesting but...

My experience with developers is that they can and often do.

Finally went to see our little infill site we bought, Dun Laoghaire, got the keys to it last week, must be one of the last on the market as the infil site up the way seems to be off the market, wouldn’t be surprised if the builder we out bid to get ours bought it... It was the first time I...

Personally I’d hold out until they cleared their wanted items or at least arrange storage of said items.

I can’t see where the 10%-12% is coming from either, we bought a site that was relatively slow to sell in the first place and we are building instead of renovating or doing up. Also we are not ftb so, but this is our forever home as I never want to move again nor do I want a mortgage again so...

We’ve bought an infill site and the executer wasn’t in too much of a hurry. Also we had a couple of queries regarding the contract and needed an accountant to look into something that was bugging me. On the flip side I had a couple of calls, regarding a property I desperately thought I wanted...

We are, but in our situation we are in the same position financially as we were when making the offer and have largely been unaffected by the pandemic. It’s this reason why I felt it would be wrong to seek a reduction, the vendor didn’t cause the pandemic and as another poster mentioned an...

We went sale agreed a bit before Xmas and we are now just about to sign contacts in the next week. I hemmed & hawed about offering a reduction on our agreed price, glad I didn’t though, mostly because I believe fair is fair and we agreed a price and tbh don’t think the vendor would entertain it...

Thanks, had seen it on citizens advice originally, I was just thinking about what our Solicitor had mentioned and they definitely said 4% so not sure where that’s coming from, at any rate we’ll be building a single dwelling house; transfer of deeds still have not taken place as of yet.

Hi, not sure if this is in the right forum but here goes. We’re in the process of purchasing an infill site that that is being sold by a company. The site is zoned for residential and we are building our primary home on it. Our solicitor has informed us that we’ll be paying a 4% stamp duty...

@Leo, yep you hit it on the nail, I seem to have a sixth sense about it. My OH thinks it’s amusing.

The shouldn’t in theory, I think that particular agent just didn’t like being asked so many questions on the first viewing. I had been warned by a few long time property buyers that if the agent didn’t know if probate had granted then that should send a warning. How’s your hunt going? We are...

I’m glad this thread popped up. This is something I’ve wondered about too. We contacted loads of agents and almost always the properties where just about to go sale agreed, it became frustrating. When I would ask about private sales many agents eventually, reluctantly, told us about them. Will...

I put in the 5K and the counter by the other bidder was another 12K so I left it cause it truthfully wasn’t worth it.

Apologies for the late reply. Mostly about the boundary, if probate had been granted and about the other bidders. I know the EA can only give answers about the property as they are supplied by the vendor but there was something in my gut that seemed off and the lack of knowledge by the EA...
