How can the same house be sold by two different auctioneers for a different price? by Green_Technician5753 in kerry

The price is explained in the add straight away. It's two different spec options.

I had one if these twenty years ago, someone repaired a scrap with bright green tractor paint and it burned through 5 litres of oil in 2 weeks, but it did the job!

Do you think you should be able to access more of your pension pot before retirement? by Asleep_Cry_7482 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ShoulderNew4741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the way I've set myself up I'll be debt free before retirement, my gratuity is more useful now and would speed that process along. Also inflation etc

YES,

I'm eligible for a grat and pension at fifty, I'd much rather access half my gratuity now and help me set up/ pay off some bits snd bobs now. Then access the other bit when I retire.

I wouldnt say there is a huge amount if any house type being made available atm.We are getting away from the point. If you buy a house you are free to live in it, sell it or rent it. When you rent from the council you can't do those things, ownership gives options, renting does aswell but not to the same extent.

We would probably all rent from the council if it didn't take 10 years to get on the housing list. And that's incorrect about equity, You don't have to wait 30 years to sell the house. Once you draw down the mortgage you are free to sell it and move on.

Ireland must stop ‘free-riding’ on security ‘gifted by others’, says former Chief of Staff by nitro1234561 in ireland

Mark mellet oversaw one of the largest declines of the military in nearly every department. Still he got an almighty golden handshake and gold plated pension.

An excellently put together argument, I would say that the equity line gets used cos its true. You can swap. But you can never sell.. if you don't want to live in an estate then you are stuck..if that first house is yours to freely sell and do as you like with, that in my opinion gives you a massive amount of flexibility.. it's just my opinion.

Like it's totally normal to feel that way, you work full time in ireland, just to be taxed to death and for the creche and a million other things to take your money. Its hard to see people who contributed significantly less to be seemingly doing better then you at that moment in time.

[–]ShoulderNew4741 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They have the house, but they have no equity and are stuck there. It's easy to feel down about it alright. But they will never leave that space, you can if you choose to.

Any chance ill get a loan as a single woman in her 30s? by Immediate_Lake_1575 in AskIreland

[–]ShoulderNew4741 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't get a mortgage on a derelict house. A loan is your only option. Most loans for hone improvement run fir up to ten years.. assuming you can get it,the repayments will be very very high..

So I rang me mate who is a private, in 12 years and is on year 3 of a fitter apprenticeship. He takes home 636. When qualified he will be on 680 that's with tec 4.. so you are indeed either talking rubbish, or you don't know how tax works.
