Welcome to AAM, Slaphead. That's a pricey part of the country you're talking about...
Have you had a browse of myhome.ie and daft.ie to get an idea of prices?
Frankly, the way the market is at the moment, I'd be inclined to recommend renting for a while first and waiting for something to come up over the next 12 months. Rents have kind of flattened out lately, and house prices seem set to stand still or even drop, depending on area and property type. With recent (and projected) rises in interest rates, you may come across a 'stressed vendor' if you're patient enough (and make sure all the local EAs have your number in the event that something suitable comes up...).
Best of luck with the move!
I was looking at the "How much can i borrow" thread:

A conservative estimate of 50k for me and 35k for the woman give's us 383k. We havnt got much of a deposit saved up though. Are the houses in Charlesland allover 400k? Were looking for at leadt a 3 bedroom, hopefully a 4.

You would look at paying approx 420K for a 2-bed townhouse
You'd be doing well to get a 4 bed in Arklow for €400k TBH
there's no hope of getting what you want at your budget anywhere north of there
2 bed townhouses in Charlesland have dropped close to the 400k level now:

There are a lot of properties for sale in Charlesland, many have been on the market for months. Vendors may be willing to accept offers below the asking price.
Hi all,
Id prefer to be nearer the coast, ie Gorey (where the folks now live) but the school situation in Gorey worries me.
Can you elaborate on your comments about the Gorey 'school situation' - we are looking at moving down there and we have a 2 year old who'll need a school place in a few years...thanks.
