It's not just the social factor; if you can't drive and live in a rural area everyday activities become very difficult.isolation if driving became a problem
I feel very relieved that my parents live close to an acute hospital like St Vincent's. Old age came upon them so quickly with little notice, one day they were young and active 70ish year olds and then the health problems set in, in their mid to late 70's, and it just accelerated from then on. Cant imagine what would must be like to have to travel distances. Between them they can be be in there several times a year; heart, respiratory and the most frequent reason is falls.It's not just the social factor; if you can't drive and live in a rural area everyday activities become very difficult.
For what it's worth, I found that NCBI and Oxfam Home (Francis Street, Dublin) were happy to take a lot of stuff. (Oxfam, Francis Street was the only place that I could find that accepted electrical items). SVP might also be an option but I seem to recall having trouble getting in contact with them by phone.Charity shops don’t want much home stuff.
As long as they don't have management fees the size of a small mortgage...I know a lot of fees in the last year have jumped from €2000 to €2600 with little or no explanation. Its the one thing that would put me of living in an apartment...Alright for an investor who can write half of it off as an expenseWe need a completely new class of apartment in this country
Thats very strange given the members of an OMC have to vote to approve the management fees for the upcoming year. They budget and fees will have been laid out for review by all.As long as they don't have management fees the size of a small mortgage...I know a lot of fees in the last year have jumped from €2000 to €2600 with little or no explanation.

id suggest if you arent attending the agm then you cant say.In my case I rent it out so as I say I can write half off as an expense. I attended the AGM a few years back and it was a waste of time. I am aware where the money goes to, sinking fund, lighting, insurance, upkeep of communal areas, waste etc. however mis information or not, €2600 for a 2-bed is west Dublin is price gouging imo. 30% increase...
If you are downsizing from a house to an apartment you would be leaving behind certain expenses that offset the management fee e.g. less energy usage, standalone bin charges, security/monitored alarms, house and garden maintenance and so on. It’s probably not that far from breakeven between the two but I am not basing that on personal experience so happy to be corrected.As long as they don't have management fees the size of a small mortgage...I know a lot of fees in the last year have jumped from €2000 to €2600 with little or no explanation.

Why? I'm sent a copy of the minutes with the Bill.id suggest if you arent attending the agm then you cant say.
Why not?id suggest if you arent attending the agm then you cant say.
If they are reading them they should understand the reason for the price increases, calling management fees extortionate and gouging is lazy and usually ill informed.Why not?
Even if they don't attend the AGM they should still be getting the annual report/minutes/budget etc.
