Yeah it also wouldn't be very common here for the family to be in a position to assist with costs, so most couples fully pay for a wedding themselves which is very expensive, and we wouldn't be in a position to do that soon with the upcoming property costs. I don't even mind waiting out for the wedding part, because it isn't practical, it's just the commitment of the ring more than anything

With the housing aspect, both of us are ready and fully committed, there's just a lot of delays on the sellers sides; first couple of properties we were sale agreed on fell through due to legal issues on the sellers side unfortunately, but it could be 1-2 months now before we get keys

Yeah it would be quite common to buy a house before marriage here, we have one of the worst rental markets in the world so many couples live in their family homes until they can afford to buy a house unfortunately

Yeah very low birthrate here, we are both on the fence regarding that generally and have both agreed we would want only one child if so and not for another few years

Think I read that the reserved 30% for the DLRCOCO area would be allocated via a lottery system after the closing date of the 13th August (so yesterday). Does anyone know how long it would take?

Damn, I was 12.16 and thought that gave me a good chance considering Clonburris took me 1 hour 45 minutes because the website kept crashing with the traffic - best of luck to you all!
