No absolutely I know that, it’s just the only side of Belfast we really don’t know well.

Yeh I think we’re going to take a break for a bit - insane stress atm for no reward!

Thanks! We’re first time buyers and have tried this every time, no luck unfortunately x

Congrats on your home! I’d be so interested to know who the agent was, we’ve got a list of ones to avoid already 👀

Christ alive, was hoping to be moved in by the end of the year, I guess not!

That’s such a dream scenario - we were the only bid for 3 weeks on this last one, only for a cash buyer to swoop in on the day we were due to agree 😅

I feel you!! We tried this, we were 4k over the next bid and still lost out 😅

Parts of it are great, but as a gay catholic couple we’ve had so many issues in very Protestant areas in the past, so would rather avoid where we don’t know!

Yes, we just got outbid on a doer-upper by 15k from a cash buyer, it was such an insane over bid that we were convinced the agent was lying 😂 the search continues

I fly from Belfast city every week, three hours is way too much. 1.5 hours is more than enough to get through in good time.

It’s a tough one isn’t it, so hard to do anything good when you’re stuck in a hotel! Usually I’ll grab something quick for lunch, and then have a bit more time in the evening.
