What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
We are about to move from Dublin to Galway, we want to be close to family and support with the little lad and wanted to get there before he starts school. Well my wife has managed to secure a new job starting in December. I work from home most of the time and will continue to come to Dublin about 1 day a week, 2 max. We have been working with a broker and have secured a further 3.5times combined salary to try buy in Galway. Hence we are wondering if it is best that we either sell our Dublin home or rent it out (neighbour just sold for just over 400k in the last few weeks). Other option is my brother is interested in taking a room but we'd be short about €250-300monthly on the mortgage but it would allow me to have somewhere to stay if im doing a stay over for work. Its beside DCU so will never have much issue renting if i needed to and it would allow for a possible future place for our lad if he ever decides to go to college in Dublin.
To help with another house i do have option of a 30k gift from my folks to help with deposit bringing deposit to about 80k.
Wondering what people think regarding sell or keep!?
