That's great, ClubMan. Thanks for that info.

Just wondering - are the vendors always informed of the findings of the report or can we presume that no news is good news?

Oh yeah, he has put the closing date on the contracts, but I don't think they've been issued to buyers yet.

They haven't signed contracts yet. As far as I'm aware, the contracts are ready to go, but my solicitor is on holidays, so I don't have much more information in that regard. Does the survey information usually come after contracts are signed? Sorry, this is the first time I've sold a property so...

We are selling our house and recently the person buying it had a survey carried out. If any issues have arisen, what's the normal timeframe for which the vendors will be told? Our closing date is quite soon, so we are concerned that we haven't heard anything either way.

Okay, this is a strange one, please bear with me. I have one address and don't own any other property. I pay my bill online, not via direct debit. A couple of years ago, I opted for paperless billing on my gas account, therefore I only ever receive bills via my online account. Last week, I...

Ah yes, you're absolutely right. It's a small price to pay in the bigger scheme of things.

Yes, I'll leave it to him. It's a terrible shame really, considering the value would have been nowhere near the agreed sale price a few years ago, but sure there you go. Thanks a million for the help.

In 2013 it was in 100,001-150,000. Sale Agreed now at 275k.

I have been paying my LPT via salary deduction since 2013. In 2013 my property was worth significantly less than it is now (it has been in Band 2, but is selling in Band 5, which which is a difference of €270 per year). Will I have to pay circa €1900 before I can sell my house even though its...

Sorry to flog a dead horse, but we're in the process of selling home (KBC mortgage, taken out in 2005, prevailing rate mentioned in contract) and I was looking through all my documentation again today and saw that in a letter to me last year (after pushing them on the prevailing rate for ages)...

That makes perfect sense! I've done my homework and other properties in the area have definitely sold for around the same price. In fact, the most recent sale went for two grand below ours and I believe that it wouldn't be of as high a standard as ours, but we wanted to sell now while we had a...

Thanks Dublinbay12. Yes, it is the same here - COVID doesn't seem to have impacted prices. There appears to be a lot of demand, for not much supply, so perhaps that is why. I just want to get to the point where we're handing over the keys and moving on, but there seem to be a few hurdles to get...

Ah ok. That could make sense alright. Thanks!

We recently went sale agreed on our home we are selling and were happy with the price we agreed, but now I am anxious that the bank is going to value our house at a lot lower than the agreed sale price. I have read that they are generally valuing at 10% lower at the moment, even though the price...

Would your advice be to remain as we are? I don't want to change things and then end up receiving less money (if that's possible).

Oh really? Thanks for that. So we'll carry on as is.

Disclaimer - I'm lacking in knowledge when it comes to tax issues, so please go easy on me! We got married in 2009. Partner was public servant until March 2019 when he took voluntary redundancy. He started contract work in May 2019. His yearly earnings would total on average circa 105k. I am a...

That's very interesting, thanks. It makes total sense. We could save ourselves around 3000 euro by doing it this way! I'm just nervous about having to do the viewings ourselves! Don't want to mess things up!
