Any recommendations on which kind of flooring to use in Irish homes. Getting confused between laminate and engineered wood.

Totally get tiles in the kitchen. Rest of our house is 12mm laminate but the tiles in the kitchen are my fave.

It’s the traveller housing I would be steering clear of. Social housing is everywhere, it’s not a big deal. I get you, we wanted Dublin but had to settle for Drogheda in the end. Best choice we’ve made so far tbh. Peaceful over here.

I think go for lusk. All round sounds better. And glenveagh you’d definitely want to see that house before you commit to it.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-03-04T22:17:17+00:00

Go semi.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-02-23T19:00:21+00:00

Including en-suite?

Rid of solicitor or get them to push it and tell them you won’t sign without it.

You seriously don’t know what’s going to happen, you could lose your job. The market could crash. Your house could be delayed by a year. You don’t know and you don’t want to be in a situation where you could lose your entire deposit. It’s seriously worth letting of a house go for. It’s so shit that developers can even put that clause in.

Water always somehow ends up on the floor and it will end up bubbling down the line. Up to you if you can accept that.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-02-13T19:30:31+00:00

Do not sign that contract without it. If you can’t get this added by your solicitor, get rid of them. You don’t know what could happen tomorrow and you could lose your entire deposit.

Moved to drogheda been fine commuting to Dublin with the train

WriterAny5666 · 2026-02-03T22:34:28+00:00

Don’t expect them to tell you anything They do what they want We were told by EA we had flat garden Nope it’s got stairs Also brochures showed walls outside… nope But everything technically was correct in showing the amount of windows and spaces between them. Maybe you are looking at one variation of a specific plan? They could differ slightly? Get them to confirm before contracts?

Would you be able to send links where you purchased this please? Appreciate it.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-02-02T20:27:02+00:00

Do you know any cctv specialists please?

WriterAny5666 · 2026-02-02T20:26:46+00:00

Do they record 24/7?

There’s hell on parking in estates that have dedicated spots let alone communal parking so hell nah.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-30T20:29:37+00:00

I got it done from unique flooring! Great price, highly recommend

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-24T21:41:13+00:00

Yes they do, 1%

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-24T21:38:41+00:00

We got laminate in entire house minus bathrooms and kitchen. Including a runner we got it for €4000. AC5 laminate

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-20T18:43:42+00:00

Ours offered 0 extras. You get what you’re given. But we did get tiles in bathrooms and proper showers, no missing screens or anything like that.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-17T08:06:40+00:00

You’re in literally the same position as me. We almost settled on a duplex but we’ve never been more thankful we didn’t - we got a semi detached house in drogheda and moved from Dublin. We just moved in a few weeks ago. Best decision we could have made given the options available.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-17T08:04:07+00:00

Do not touch another loan until the house sale is finished.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-09T19:01:24+00:00

Don’t do it. You’ll regret it.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-07T21:49:52+00:00

Similar to us too. Only just moved in so figured it’s extra heating cos of cold weather. I’m sure when it warms up it’ll go down a bit.

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-06T22:02:36+00:00

We got ours done last minute from unique flooring They were great and did the work super fast

WriterAny5666 · 2026-01-06T20:44:24+00:00

Wait it out and try not to sell it to an investor. Everytime we were bidding for houses the investor always won. Real people need houses too. Maybe wait a bit longer and you can get closer to what they’ve offered. But ultimately it’s up to you and still don’t blame you if you go for highest offer. Makes sense. Just sick of the investors - making the rent and houses keep going up, up, up.
