With rent increasing is now the time to buy a 2nd property from the bank

Agree but even then it is still relatively underpopulated . Does something like 80% of the population live less the 20km from coast

I don’t think that would be far off. Maybe 30km.

Cashing out is okay for buying in the convict plantations, but you’ll have to ride one of these out to afford a des-res in beautiful Ballybay

What’s she doing in Cork? Must be finished in UL now?

I’d imagine that’s the housemate rather than the landlord?

Is that not a bit much considering you’ve proof of being able to pay a mortgage for however number of years to date ?

Sombody bump the ask bandage about mortgages thread.

We’re on a 4-year fixie (originally with UB, passed onto PTSB or whatever they’re called with UB exiting the market) and it’s up in September.

I’ve delegated the analysis, consideration of options, potential switch and entry into new fixie to my life partner, as she’s good with numbers and I don’t really understand it well despite working in banking since 2006.

It’s probably not a great time to have a fixie expiring, as rates are expected to increase this year. I think you can switch within 60 days of the fixie expiry date.

60 days before it?

According to my LP, yes. So if your fixie is expiring on, say, 30 June then you could enter into a new arrangement from 30 April onwards. This may be complete bullshit, I dunno. But you might get into a new fixie earlier before they adjust upwards again?

The trackerites could get cleaned in next few years could they? How high do they reckon the ECB base rate could go?

About time,I’m sick of subsidising these lads.
