This is very much of interest to me. I bought a three bedroom gaff with a mate at the end of 2010. It's getting towards time to sell and go our separate ways. My concern is buying the next gaff. I want to live Southside, nearish city centre but I won't be spending mega wonga. Are there nice 2+ beds going for reasonable money and not requiring much work meeting the above criteria? |

Ideally less than €300k but could prob stretch to €350k for a 3 bed.

Exactly what I was thinking. After the domino effect the property crash had, you would think the government would do everything they can to prevent another |

Not really. Look on myhomne.ie and add an extra 10/20 percent to the asking. Then expect to be outbid. It's a jungle right now |

Anywhere on the sunny southside bar the more affluent areas
Walkinstown, Kimmage, Firhouse, Knocklyon, Crumlin. Won't rule out the likes of Lucan, Citywest or even parts of Kildare. |

Yeah I know what you mean Ger. I was having a lot of frustrations viewing houses, bidding and then very quickly the bidding price going outside of our price range. Was starting to think of postponing for a year and see if anything happened with repossessions and more houses coming to the market to make things better for the buyer, but you just never know what is going to happen there. I would echo advice of just keep looking and if you see a place you like bid but don't get too down if it doesn't work out, you will eventually find the place that will suit you and the missus and future arrivals. Looking back now I can see I was desperate. One particular house I had convinced myself was the one for me. The advertised asking price was extremely low but it did need a lot of work as previous tenants had left it in bits (priced 16k just to get it livable with a builder relative). However it had great potential because of a massive back garden and this was swaying me. However the area it was in I would consider a step down from Belgard, kingswood or Kilnamanagh where we had set our hearts. I actually bid more than I should have done on the house but as said I had convinced myself it was the best I could get because the prices were going up already and I was thinking of the potential for extensions and man caves. Thankfully there was another bidder who also wanted it bad and brought the price up way too high for what it was worth in that area so I backed out. Within a week or so of pulling out the house I bought was advertised and we acted quick and thankfully it worked out well and ended up getting the house in Kilnamanagh for the same price as I exited the bidding for the other house. Ok I don’t have a back garden big enough for a big extension and a man cave so the missus will just have to do without her kitchen come dining room Edited by t_rAndy - 11 Mar 2014 at 8:12pm |

Good advice Andy, think the key is to keep looking and not get down about it.

On the basis you are buying a house which you want to be your family home, ensure that the area has schools that you will be happy to send your kids too, that has no planning for anything that would cause you to want to move (halting site / shops etc) Once you are happy that the area is going to allow you happily live there for 20/30 years then as long as you can comfortably afford the repayments go for it. If you can possibly pay fortnightly rather than monthly you can significantly reduce the term of the mortgage. Remember that you are going to most likely have serious increase in your living costs when GerK junior(s) arrives, so don't over stretch the mortgage repayments. |

pay weekly if you can reduce your mortgage by a year or possibly 2. One of the best bits of advice my Da ever got. Free money.

don't have one as i live in Dublin and i could not afford a mortgage in Dublin. Very hard also to save deposit and pay rent when rents are rising all the time. Don't have the option of moving home to save deposit. How much is your mortgage.
