Also curious about this?

Had a similar issue with my broker recommending an unregulated investment. I asked for a very safe investment for 3 years for money we would use to pay off our mortgage with. He replied via a very similar, but slightly different email address, with a brochue for the invesment he suggested. The...

So I'm currently in the process of building a new system and working with a few letting agents to map out the features. Is anyone here a letting agent by any chance? Would love to chat and see what features are important

I think what people sometimes don't understand with buying an electric car through a company is that the BIK allowance reduces each year. I can't remember the exact figures but its something like: Year 1: 20k Year 2: 15k Year 3: 10k Year 4: 5k The value of the car never depreciates in the...

How exactly do you buy day 20k of prize bonds? Only way online seems to be just using card?

They cancelled my application after I had lodged the money, and refunded it. I asked Raisin why and they said they wouldn't give a reason. I guess this is why

350 is about right - they have to do the entire thing from scratch again. Also be aware it could be a completely different rating this time around

We use AllGo and they have no limit on the card amounts. They do Mastercards - highly recommended as they're not gift cards, can be used for aynthing

Yea our own co.council does not specifically state what makes something habitable. Interestingly most co. councils basically say habitable depends on the definition according to the Irish statue book ("habitable room" means a room used for living or sleeping purposes but does not include a...

Interesting thanks. I can't find anything for my own co.council regarding that. Do you know do all council's go by the same rules in relation to planning exemptions?

Thank you, exactly what I wanted to know thanks.

I'm not sure why you keep latching onto this particular point. I know that if the council is aware the space is rented then this changes the outcome. As the tenant is on a sofa bed in the garden room, its packed up every morning so if the council came they would just see a sofa in the kitchen...

My question was what makes a space habitable. I was under the assumption it was a toilet. Of course the council is unaware it's rented.

Planning enforcement said because there's no bed its not habitable, so no issue

Right. But the council said no that's fine. Only way it's a problem is if the size is too large or if it had a bed. No problems otherwise. Which seems to go against everything I have ever read about it

My question is just specifically how can the council say "the garden room is not habitable" when it has a kitchen, toilet and shower. It just seems crazy that those 3 things don't make a garden room habitable.

No idea. It just seems bizarre. The council says its fine because there's no bed and its under the size limit of where planning is required. They closed the case after investigating because there was nobody living in it at the time (the neighbour just waited until the council was gone and then...

The building does not qualify as habitable as there is no bed. (They saw the kitchen, toilet and shower in it though)

Right. The council are arguing that its not habitable because "it doesn't have a bed". But we assumed its habitable if it has a shower, toilet and kitchen? That's my question really - is just "having a bed" the only factor in making it habitable?

So does that mean if a standalone building has a kitchen it's habitable? Or a kitchen doesnt make it habitable? It's not very clear
