Thanks for all the replies. We’re lucky enough our mortgage for the new house will be manageable about 800 a month over 20 years. If I was to leave the house vacant for a year would that be an issue. Would I be liable for tax??? Also is it worth getting an agent involved? Surely the best person...

The interest on this would be around 50k

That's the million dollar question will property's keep climbing?, I'm inclined to think that in the area the house is in the price should rise but who knows. With the option of selling the house we could pay off the mortgage in cork, leave us mortgage free but also take a valuable asset from...

Hi, looking for opinions on renting vs selling my house. The house is in Terenure Dublin bought a few years ago for just over 200k, would reckon I would get over 400k for it if I put it on the market. There is no mortgage on the property. If I was to rent it out per month I would reckon I would...

Where would one source this insulation at a good price? The space is very small so not too sure if its worth paying someone to do it... Could be an easy DIY job for myself in the spring.... How is this normally attached to the brick and would it need to be plastered??? Cheers

Is insulation important, I had original block work and put a PVC door on this but didn't think about insulation. Would this make a big difference???

I know this is an old thread but I am in a similar situation. I have my office premises in Dublin but have been given a contract in carlow, rather that driving up and down everyday can I get rental accomodation in carlow and expense this through the ltd company? And if so can this be for the...

I would be under the second category, I do tend to work at home some days so I spend a considerable amount of time in Dublin, I would say its a 60:40 split, surely I can claim for the mileage from Dublin to Carlow and back?

Thats interesting as I live in Dublin but the new job is in Carlow Town, I may be able to claim for overnights in this situation?

So heres the deal, about to finish my staff job that I have been working with for more than 5 years and I've decided to go out in the working world as a contractor. I have a few questions. 1). Should I set up my company first or set up a business bank account first. Which needs to be done...

I know some other people working for the same agents and they seem to have only good things to say about them. Not used to be treated with much respect in my current position so becoming a contractor shouldn't change things too much. In relation to expenses do you claim of many?
