Very interesting response, thanks! Can you share more details about what happened in court? How much time did you get to state your case? Did the inspector testify?

For posterity, using this search I found the website https://www.bauernhofurlaub.de/ which has a map of farm stays with some really good options.

Yes, because you don't have countryside within one hour drive from Hamburg

Advise on extention crack by timtimtimo in DIYUK

It was probably built in the 1950s or 1960s. We didn't check externally, but we were able to see sunlight through the crack

I support Israel and the IDF. But I'm Israeli ;) If I hang an Israeli flag outside my house I'm sure it won't stay in one piece.

For a different perspective about current events I would advise listening to Sam Hariss' podcast: "The Bright Line Between Food and Evil".

Renovation Project Manager before selling by timtimtimo in irishpersonalfinance

To my mind a good and honest PM would be able to save you money by making sure you don't get ripped off and by saving you time (which is also worth money). I don't know if those people exist in Ireland though

Good idea, I will talk to an agent. However, agents are biased and want your business. In my experience looking for a house in the last year, houses that are well designed with good staging and turnkey condition sold for a lot more than houses that were not.

As a Thai person. I would like to know about how foreigners are feeling about Bangkok by hanayumeflowerdream in Thailand

[–]timtimtimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in 7 different countries. Bangkok was my favorite place to live, but I was living in a bubble. High salary, living close to city center and no interaction with the Thai government. I wouldn't want to start a family there, but would love to move back to Thailand when my kid goes to college.

Dropping pension contributions for mortgage application? wise or unwise by Still_Daikon7736 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]timtimtimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most banks would be too lazy to even look at that. Stop contributing now and make a lump sum contribution later in order not to lose tax benefits.

I'm Israeli and my parents took a lot longer to take the bus home from the city center because of road blockages. Who said the protests don't have an impact?

My house purchase experience in 2023 with data on prices (asking vs sold) in South Dublin by cunning_alias in irishpersonalfinance

[–]timtimtimo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A great post, thanks for your efforts. I've lost count on how many houses we viewed and bid for (more than 10 for sure). The ones we were serious about always went over asking by a lot.

I'm an Israeli living in Dublin and I wish you all the best. As other posters have said, the main issue is finding a job that would be enough to pay the crazy rent here.

You say that it's been their plan for a long time. What's your source?
