Hi Guys,
Looking for some advice. I recently got offered a 3 bed apartment in the HSQ scheme through DCCs affordable housing. Myself and my partner have a booking deposit down (refundable). I'd love to hear some thoughts. Here are the details.
It's as I said, a 3 bed, with parking, around 85sqm and has a fantastic view facing on to military road (east facing) i.e. So no where near the building site at the back.
The Good
The apartment itself we are delighted with. We've looked at a few, castleforbes, Docklands etc... This one honestly SEEMs to be of the highest satandard I've seen, and we've seen a lot of new and old. Doesn't appear to be any of the usual corners skipped.
**That is of course opinion and absolutely NOT fact***
That side of the city suits us and we're happy with the immediate area.
We can afford the repayments.
Now the Bad:
The price is 300,000
It is valued at 450,000
The management fees are a whopping €3,050 (Waiting on a break down of these)
The claw back clause/no rent out clause.
The development is years from being completed.
Does anyone have experience dealing with the DCC. Any impartial advice, tips. Obviously a massive decision for us. We were definitely going to go with it (thus booking deposit) but have since heard about the very UNaffordable management fees. Like even in the silly days of 2006, those fees would be questioned.
Especially interested in hearing from any of ye that have negoitated value reductions and/or actual price reductions. My understanding was that you couldn't negotiate the actual price (300,000) but maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks for your time.
