Do you work city centre? Bit of a trek in and out is it not? Dublin 6 rents are going through the roof.
Why the fuck would I want to work in Dublin City. I live and work on the Fingal Riveria

Sounds like Portmarnock is fucked so.
Just before Christmas is the best time to rent as no one wants to move and landlords want to have âsomeone in before Christmasâ. I am basing this entirely on hearsay and conjecture.
Did that two years ago mac. Then got a letter a while back saying the landlord was terminating the lease early. Thatâs a fair kick in the balls and wa s very stressful at the time. Avoiding the scenario of being fucked out becomes very important with two kids which is why we want to buy a gaff in porto.
Youâd love it glas. Cycle path all the way along the coast to the city centre. Imagine how smug youâd feel then?

Sure Iâd be sweating by the time I arrived into work. It would completely undermine my smug attitude.

If itâs not a stupid question, why the fuck wouldnât you sell the place you rent out, that you have no intention of living in, and use that for a deposit on a house in fingal, or am I missing something?

Iâd pay extra to stay in Porto. Corry does lettings to, doesnât he? Ask him to keep an eye out for you, he seems on top of his game.
I wouldnât hold onto Kinsealy in the medium or long term. Renting out is fine until you get shit tennants or you get a structural problem or something. You can deal with that if youâve actively pursued that type of opportunity. But being incumbent in that market shouldnât influence your decision about its suitability for you.
The housing ladder seems not to work in Ireland as no one will ever sell a house. Itâs bizarre. Buy one, and cling onto it with clenched knuckles and a set jaw, and the try and save a second larger deposit and buy a second larger house. The Irish dream is three buy to lets in tirellan heights, and a family home in Newcastle, all hocked up,having scrimped through the best years of your life, but at least youâll have something for the kids to snort after theyâve fucked you into the sunny vale old folks home at the first opportunity.

Be a landlord if you can afford a property that will withstand market ups and downs a lot better than others. Iâm thinking Dublin City, or even London if you can manage it.*
*I donât know what the fuck Iâm talking about.

What is the obsession with buying a house in Ireland?
Goes without saying.
