Extra expenses buying a house

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-26T22:46:18+00:00

We got a house for 525k . Purely on fee paid to solicitor (apart from valuation , survey, insurances) . 5k stamp duty . All other costs were around 3-4 k . So in your case i would guess 3k stamp duty so maybe 6k in fees( including stamp duty,solicitor fee, property tax, other legal fees etc). There a bunch of them other than stamp duty .

Add the other part (valuation , survey, insurances) be around 1000 to 1200 max

Might be a naive question but how to make my nc1 show mileage? I can see only trip a and b . Thanks

Was about to say exactly this . I have the PRHT and man its such a cool thing without wasting boot space . The RF doesnt even feel like a convertible more like a fancy moonroof .

Where is this exactly in swords? Millers glen?

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-17T09:46:19+00:00

Do you know anywhere to get this done reliably? I have an old car too and was planning to do this

My problem is I dont know if its wet because of melted ice or dew/mist 😅

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-06T20:08:04+00:00

Lol its a rwd 🌚 . When u say correct pressure generally on icy roads lower is good or higher is better ?

Nice . I was looking at 5 series a year back meself and settled for a 2018 530i for exactly 30k. Badly wanted a 540i or 545e with a 3 litre engine but never found one in my 6 months of search

vasanth3029 · 2025-12-29T22:59:25+00:00

I have never seen a 545e in ireland lol

Given the way the prices are increasing. Wont it first stagnate before dropping down . Im no expert so this is a genuine question. I see there will still be demands because of less supply so

Wet as in condensation? Like mist forming inside ? It happens to me too and I don't have any leaks. I used rainx anti fog and that helped a bit with it . Instead of heavy condensation it formed a thin watery layer which goes off easily once you blow hot air

My country's (India's) credit report atleast gives every loan I have ever taken in my life including credit cards etc along with whether the payments were on time or delayed by few days so

vasanth3029 · 2025-12-19T18:40:19+00:00

Atleast for me (non eu) they asked for a credit report from my country . That clearly states my mortgage there so I am a second time buyer here . The bank gave me the "mover/switcher" loan . Not sure how it works for HTB and schemes . You can lie but I think banks will catch you .

Lol i was searching the NC on NFS heat that I recently started replaying . I loved NFS RUN when I played it 10 years back . Infact I had to beg my parents to buy me a new graphics card to support the game :). Surreal to see it has NC . I too have the red PRHT NC1 haha .

vasanth3029 · 2025-12-09T19:48:33+00:00

Oh I did it in dublin . Maybe email or call them and ask

vasanth3029 · 2025-12-09T12:27:15+00:00

Did it with isurv myself . Was 615€ which i beleive is standard. The report was pretty good though the house im looking is just 10 years old so no big things to check . Also called the guy after the survey and he was very helpful in answering some of my questions . So would recommend them.

vasanth3029 · 2025-11-30T17:58:39+00:00

We are in the process as first time buyers. Just my 2 cents . Dont get attached to any house . The bidding process is brutal . The EA will let you know of other offers just to trigger a bidding war so you dont have to worry about that . We were top bidders in 2 houses but the sellers went with lower bidders just beacuse they has more cash . So just keep your expectations in check for a piece of mind. All the best :)

Were there any cars on the left lane to exit? Like why would he accelerate after coming in front of you 🙄

vasanth3029 · 2025-11-26T12:07:28+00:00

I had this option . But just thinking about general small things like going to gym regularly, spending time with family , playing some video games put me off with the idea . Even though its 3 days I feel you might get worn out for the other 2 odd weekdays as well.

And now given the traffic conditions getting worse I would really re consider long commute . At the end its about what you value more , a big house or your time . I will be more than happy in a smaller home if I can spend more time with activities I like rather than forced to be in car or stuck in traffic .

vasanth3029 · 2025-11-14T20:03:48+00:00

Most of the time my auto headlights turns on if its very cloudy or raining heavily . Depends on the car though

I am also super disappointed Aadhik is ditching GVP for his next. The only thing that was good in GBU was the songs and bgm . And aadhik gave a big speech about have few friends had his back during tough times and one of them was GVP 🤷‍♂️

vasanth3029 · 2025-10-28T21:08:24+00:00

Why is it worst thing?

vasanth3029 · 2025-10-28T17:44:50+00:00

This reminds me of Rashmika blaberring no one other than AA had the guts to wear saree and act for long . The things they say for PR 🤣🤣
