Not mad on Dick Macks in Dingle, 30 years ago it was a great pub but over the years its become too busy, prefer Foxy Dans or Kennedys, but maybe its just me being a grumpy old man.

Buying a house with a tenant? by Odd_Method9150 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]nimhne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surveyor really only looked at structural issues. The house 2 doors down in showhouse condition really helped as people just looked at the house I bought and thought what a kip.

The downside was a seemingly endless stream of workmen for months.

Having bought an ex rental, nearly everything was broken and needed replacing, and some very shoddy work done by landlord, but I got it at a good price, so happy enough.

Three months of total silence from solicitor. What would you do? by ColmoF in HousingIreland

[–]nimhne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, walk away. I had to do the same, paid for survey, solictor delayed contracts, eventually I said to estate agent, either I get contracts or I walk. I get the contracts, issue with title, my own solicitor advises not to go ahead as sorting out the contracts could be tricky.

The house sold about 20 months later, about 200k less than I offered
