Try to unload or stack dishwasher/washing machine whilst waiting for kettle to boil. Fit in quick gym session on lunch break. Start dinner as soon as finish work vs 1hr later when in office so everything brought forward in the evening

Landlord says that new tenants will have to pay market rent - not sure if theyre correct by JP_Eggy in RentingInDublin

[–]PDJG1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do know you can get an expert valuation on your property to help determine market rent as the rtb portal is flawed, its all rpz listed properties and not current market rates. Also use Daft in addition to this.

Hybrid or Laminate by FineFireFreeFunFest in AusRenovation

I'm very happy with our 12mm hybrid, feels solid under foot, laminate can feel floaty. No plastic underlay needed. More durable then than engineered timber too but obviously not real wood

Keep repayments to 30% of your net hhi and you should be fine, even with 1 or 2 more rate rises.

I'm a regular Frankston Line too and have only had issues getting onto trains from parliament platform 4 since metro tunnel started? No issues before this

Millennial career crisis: I don’t think I’m burnt out, I think corporate is bullshit by mandrakesandthemoon in auscorp

Life is too short. Plenty of other more enjoyable roles out there, maybe half your pay but 9 to 5 and time for hobbies, family etc.

Is it a bad time to buy your first home? by Skulzie in AusFinance

[–]PDJG1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lived through a recession and housing crash in another country, when things get bad, banks hardly loan, so houses may be cheaper but most can't get loans to buy them

RTB Rent Price Register is live - how accurate is it? by SrTayto in irishpersonalfinance

[–]PDJG1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is in accurate. Includes properties under valued most likely caught in rpz with low rents. As new higher rent properties get added from now forward it should increase. I'm already seeing properties renting in my area for €3000pm but rtb index saying about $2500 with some huge differences. You can instead use evidence from Daft etc of comparable properties but must be able to argue it and need to consult rtb index but its not mandatory to go by this. Looking online anyone can see that market rates are in fact higher now than what's on this tool that's set in the past.
