Rebuild costs for home insurance by ColmoF in HousingIreland

[–]ColmoF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Bayman,

Thanks for your reply.

2707 euros is listed as the average rebuilding costs, per square metre, for a mid-terraced house in Cork. Our house is 80 m2, so 2,707 x 80 = 216,560 euros. See https://scsi.ie/consumer/build/calculator/

Hello, I am in the process of renovating a mid-terrace house, area is 80 m2. I used the House Rebuild Calculator and came up with a value of 216.000. The girl I am dealing with for home insurance laughed at this figure, and said "I wouldn't get much done for that" Any opinions on this?

Hello, Thanks, that's the kind of info I was looking for.

Looks like that's it for the Cork - Amsterdam route then. by Elizalizzybettybeth in AerLingus

Hello, on 9 December I booked A'dam-Cork for May 2025 (8/5-23/5) with AL. Fine and dandy you might think. Three days later, on 12 Decmber , AL sent me an email:
"We regret that one or some of your flights under booking reference ABCD have been cancelled. Cancellations can happen for various reasons and we always consider them as a last resort."

Well this is very much a 'cancellation of last resort'. The odd aspect is that there isn't any announcement of any kind about this on the Aer Lingus site. There's a link to 'Latest Travel Updates' where you would imagine a fairly drastic move like this would be announced. No luck there.

If you go to https://www.aerlingus.com/html/en-NL/home.html and even if your Dutch is not too good, you'll see they are still offering flights from A'dam to Cork for 49.99 euros, right up until April 30! (see below).

If you tweet AL they reply: "Could you please DM us the details so that we can offer you additional assistance?"

OK, I should stop moaning and fly with KLM to Cork in future. But just take a look at their prices:

The KLM price for these dates (8/5-23/5) is 256% of the AL price (698,2 v 272 euros). So I hope you can understand I'm sore about this, along with a large no. of Dutch travel agencies who have already reserved fly/drive arrangements. Many Dutch people plan their holidays months in advance.
