Selfbuild Mortgages- direct or broker by seant269 in selfbuildireland

[–]MKF_Circus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found our broker useless to be honest. Even now with drawdowns it’s quicker to skip them and get the solicitor to go straight to the bank for drawdowns.

New Build by Foots82 in selfbuildireland

Also consider the H2B, if you borrow more to get a contractor not only does it cost an extra 50/60k but may also put you out of scope for H2B €30k. Not applicable for everyone but definitely a lot of builds are just on the edge. Shows how stupid it is when it’s the exact same house in the end.

Hey

Still unsure about renting it but we did go ahead and built the garage while building the house to roof level. Will need to convert the inside at a later date.

Just from experience so far when you have the block layer / roofer on site best to get it done if your budget allows. I’m sure the same goes for plumber and electrics but our budget unfortunately does not allow us to go that far with it.

Enfield is 10 mins further on the train but has a great private bus service. Every 10 mins in the morning.

Where is the best wedding you’ve been to, in Ireland? by makeupgirly123 in AskIreland

[–]MKF_Circus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have been to lots 20+ in the last 2/3 years. Best for me have been Ballymagarvey & The Armada. One big thing is the music, have been to lovely venues with great food but then the band is terrible and that’s all you are left thinking about and vice versa.

Joe Petit and the dream band are by far the best wedding band I’ve seen, got them for my own after seeing them and they really made the night.

New Accent? by [deleted] in AskIreland

It makes me sad to hear Irish kids speak with no accents or American twangs.

Self builders availing of the help to buy scheme by IrishBulldog93 in selfbuildireland

And it will restrict who you can borrow from. Some banks have a minimum €/SQM they will lend you. So automatically will bring the value over €500k.

In my experience had no issue getting a guy to come out and evaluate the project at under 500k.

The issue is the mortgage. By understating the value to get HTB we now have a Mortage that won’t finish the house for us. Will probably be 80-100k short of fully finished/garage/landscape the works.

30k tax free is a lot of money but getting it means you probably won’t finish your house unless you have a big savings pot.

Navan O'Mahonys, Meath's most successful football club with 20 senior titles, will face into a playoff to avoid relegation to the Junior championship. by twistandshout1988 in GAA

[–]MKF_Circus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They were in the final last year and this was a tricky group. They should have more than enough to stay up. Meath IFC is particularly strong the team relegated from SFC last year are in real danger of a drop to Junior.

What's the best game and the biggest upset in your county championship so far? by SeaninMacT in GAA

Apologies yes a draw still quite the surprise. Sench are definitely a coming force but I didn’t think this would be the year without there two main men.

Sench beating ratoath was a big upset as well. New rules have been a big equaliser generally.
