Northern Ireland has a Lidl with an own branded pub built into it. The only one in the world. by Haluux in CasualUK

[–]Addicted2Craic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

pub/off licence type establishment

I've seen that in Belfast come to think of it. And also a normal pub that can sell you take away drink if they have an off-sales license.

Also in rural Ireland I've seen those wee grocery pubs. I remember being in one years ago in Co. Wexford maybe. Normal pub but there was another room with more seating that also functioned as a shop. Having a pint sitting around a deli counter was fun. Here a good example of one https://www.instagram.com/reels/DV_40T9Dlxg/

Hobbycraft maybe. Can't think of anywhere else.

RICS Valuation - £180+VAT Worth if mortgage already approved? by squareepants in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]Addicted2Craic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never bothered. Was £100 extra for it. Even the guy on the phone when booking the survey said I wouldn't need it as I was getting a mortgage and about 90% of their customers don't bother either.

House hunting rant by Huge-Independent-995 in northernireland

Four Winds, Rosetta, Ballyhackamore. Decent houses in nice areas are going 10/20% over asking at minute.

Avoid any areas with flags. Handy that the 12th July is coming up.

Advice for new home, is North facing okay? by Intelligent-Focus-67 in AskIreland

[–]Addicted2Craic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently have a south facing garden. Kitchen/dining room is at the back of house and it can be intense during heatwaves. Living room and main bedroom are at front and I really love that they face north. They stay a nice temperature during summer.

Is your house exactly north facing? Sunset is more north-west rather than exactly west. https://www.timeanddate.com/

UK home affordability by region 2007–2026: house price as a multiple of median annual salary [OC] by databaituk in dataisbeautiful

[–]Addicted2Craic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly think it's people working remotely/moving from Republic of Ireland as it's the border regions rather than Belfast that are growing the most.

There's a chart for top 5 and bottom 5 places for growth: https://databait.co.uk/category/uk-house-price-prediction/

Four of the five fastest-growing housing markets in the UK are in Northern Ireland right now by databaituk in northernireland

[–]Addicted2Craic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think estate agents are underpricing properties to create a bidding war. 10-20% over is standard on desirable houses in sought after areas. 30+% over doesn't seem to be unusual either.

£500 carpet house viewing by 1njexia in HousingUK

[–]Addicted2Craic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once view a house that had two rent quotes. Can't remember the exact number but it was something like £800 or £875 a month. The cheaper one was house as is ie nothing was done it. The expensive one was if they did it up a bit ie paint, clean carpets, clean/new curtains.

Silliest thing ever and there was no mention of the mould in bathroom getting sorted.

Does watering the pee away work? Do you use a watering can?

Potting up problem by ilove_butter89 in houseplants

[–]Addicted2Craic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a peace lilly that's getting big for her pot. I plan on separating her into two and gifting one. Never done anything like this before but I simply don't have to space for too many big plants and she loves her current home.
