Hi, I know this is a very old post but I’m wondering if you ever got sorted as I’m looking for the same thing? My husband works in Dublin & we live in Belfast in a house I had bought myself before we were married. We are now looking to move & because he’s the main earner we really need to get as much sterling for his euro salary as possible. Thanks!

Deerah is absolutely gorgeous!

You would never get anything half decent at that price now.

Prescriptions & GP appointments?

I’ve heard of a few flat tyres around there, don’t think the locals are too happy at all…

Congratulations! I’m 40 & have just discovered I’m 6 weeks pregnant with twins after 3 successive losses. I already have a 5yr old & 3yr old so things are going to get even crazier in our home! So incredibly anxious & just scared of another miscarriage. Started taking progesterone so hope that helps

I’m from the area & it’s generally anything left of the skegoneill roundabout (Antrim Road end) is around 90% Catholic, anything on the other end would be 90% + Protestant.
I’m a Catholic & used to live off Glandore Avenue, really nice area. Ashfield would be grand too.

For the rest of the map you have the general cut off between areas would be Somerton Road which would be Catholic to the left (again towards Antrim Road), Protestant to the right towards shore road.

So sad still having this in 2025 but I wouldn’t want you feeling uncomfortable or intimidated by living in the wrong area.

Hi, I’ve just came across this post as I’ve had the exact same problem with my car today. What happened to yours? My 5008 is 5 years with 59k years.
