    Right of way.

    I wouldn't worry too much about the right of way at this stage. It is up to the potential purchasers solicitors to satisfy themselves about any issues which may arise. While you could try and have it extinguished now you might be opening a can of worms. Once it is brought to the attention of the...

    Remortgaging to finance a wedding

    What a sad outlook on life! People spend thousands on 1 day because they want it to be special and if you are invited then its because they want to share their special day with you. Do you give huge gifts to a couple who have a cheaper wedding as they might appear to need the money more? ;) I...

    Remortgaging to finance a wedding

    Personally I would consider giving a token gift of no monetary or sentimental value to be very mean. You dont know the financial circumstances of any couple looking in from the outside so you cannot presume that they don't need a leg-up. You don't know how they financed the wedding. I would...

    Landlord wants to raise rent

    I find it hard to believe that the tenants might not have realised sub-letting would not be permitted. Why did they not mention it to the landlord if this was their intention from the start? If they could not afford the rent then they should not have moved in.

    Landlord wants to raise rent

    IMO they are sub-letting the apartment. They are renting out a portion of the property which they themselves are renting from the Landlord. They do not have to rent out the entire property to be classed as sub-letting it. This would be in breach of any implied contract with the Landlord and it...

    Letter of Offer Interest Rate

    You need to clarify if the initial rate applies if you accept the letter of offer before this date or if you also need to draw down the money before this date which is the most common condition. Why not give your bank a call to check?

    Mortgage Brokers -Commission from banks?

    So effectively the cost of the brokers fees is built-into the the interest rate charged to the customer? Has anybody gone directly to the lending institution and got a better rate directly as the broker fee would be waived? Whats to stop someone using a broker to get the best deal and then...

    Private Right Of Way

    Well firstly have you spoken to the other landowner? Both of you must be in agreement to extinguish the right of way. If so your solicitor can draft the necessary paperwork which the landowner signs. It is then lodged in the Land Registry and removed from your title.

    Dentist Bills And Medical Card

    If your dentist had previously taken you as a medical card patient and you were proceeding as a patient on this basis it could be argued that there was an implied agreement in place. He should have informed you of the fact that he was no longer accepting medical card patients prior to your...

    Some lenders cover your legal fees or give you an allowance towards fees if you switch mortgages. While it may not be advertised it is well worth asking the local branch.

    While obvioulsly the correct answer is happiness I think you know it's not really that straightforward or you wouldn't be so confused. The reality is that you may have difficulty securing another apprenticeship and if you are successful there is no guarantee that a smaller firm would be any...

    Parents are in debt, and i want to help them out

    OK so which brother did your parents re-mortgage the house for? One that is on the deeds? What did he do with the money? Why has he made no effort to repay the loan? Did the other brother whose name is on the deeds benefit from the re-mortgage or was he just a guarantor? Were any rights of...

    Junior Regatta - Dun Laoghaire

    The chairman of the yacht club said words to that effect on the news last nite. Personally I though he was shirking his responsibility. Surely a small craft warning means it is unsafe to go out on the sea in a small craft? The presence of supervision might help in the aftermath when a boat...

    Legal apprenticeship: any tips on trying to find a trainee solicitor job

    Hi aokeeffe, Well firstly have you sat the FE-1 exams? IMO it would be nigh impossible to secure an apprenticeship if you do not have a background in law and have not passed the FE-1s. If you have already passed the FE-1's and are looking for an apprenticeship then its as much about being in...
