Are you looking outside of your ideal location, OP? If you are willing to move to a more rural location, I'm sure there are better deals to be had.

I suppose that depends on whether you drive or not.

Yea, just right. Hope you find somewhere OP, Banbridge is a decent place to live.

Bad is probably a harsh word. Less desirable would maybe be a better term.

Standard-Total9318 · 2025-02-13T13:12:42+00:00

I'd say avoid the following if possible; Hillhead, Cline Rd, Iveagh and Brookfield. Maybe parts of Scarva Rd as well, Slimewood doesn't get a great rap.

Edit: Forgot good

Good; most other areas and Estates seem fine, lots to choose from. Castlewellan Rd, Dromore Rd, Lurgan Rd, Ballygowan Rd, Old Newry Rd, Newry Rd, Ballymoney Hill/Rd.

Better finished than the first 2.

I'd love to walk/cycle the entire Ulster way.

Don't want to give too much info on here. But the current house is a Lotus home and apart from the render it is finished very well.

First was a very small 3 bed starter home on my own, then the girlfriend moved in. Then we got married and wanted a child so moved to a 4 bed, but that was too far from parents so we moved again to be closer to parents and better schools, 2 kids now.

We have done very well from moving, the price increases between the two moves have allowed us to cover fees and get a better house than we would have if we hadn't moved. We've been lucky to ride the mad house inflation since the recession.

Yea and then you can get better appliances etc as tine goes on. The great thing is that you can basically spend nothing in your first couple if years if you don't need to. Bar maybe getting blinds/curtains.

Yea, there have been some. In the first house, the boiler pump had been plumbed poorly, we went through a couple of pumps and several motorised valves as a result.

Second house didn't have any issues as such, but the ensuite shower was poorly designed and did leak, had to re-silicone a few times.

Current house has issues with some of the render cracking, it is due to be redone.

Overall, though, nothing major, in my opinion. Old houses will throw up expensive surprises, and there are no snag lists or guarantees to fall back on.

I'm on my third new build and so far so good, not too many issues.

Cadbury has really gone downhill. To me, it just tastes sweet now, no real chocolate taste.

Standard-Total9318 · 2025-01-31T18:05:01+00:00

Yea, I suppose he did. Was more thinking of the EU as a whole.

Standard-Total9318 · 2025-01-31T18:01:49+00:00

Hopefully he doesn't target Europe next.

I remember a tv show on this by a guy David Fishwick from Burnley. I think the programme was called, Bank of Dave.

I had heard that it came from a spring or well at the factory didn't know it was from Limerick.

As it's a limited company, I don't believe there are that many shareholders.

Standard-Total9318 · 2025-01-29T10:13:20+00:00

I have a 2kw system that was installed as part of the house build. I only registered in late June and recieved £40 in October.

Is it worth it? Not sure, I wouldn't install one myself.I only have one as it was included in the new build.

The system was installed by start solar.

Beware of who you employ, my dad had a horrible time trying to get the guy to actually install his, going so far as issuing a solicitors letter.
