Who do you miss most from GC?

IT, call centre boy all the same these days dev.

Used to say he was going to be earning more money than us. Despite him being unemployed for 6 months in France, then living in a squat in London, last renting so i heard, knew how to live the high life that boy.

 

Not really but it would be funny if he worked in a call centre, it feels right.

 

If you look at the yield of properties then you would know that renting is the smarter thing to do just now, unless of course you are going to buy a house and live in it for the rest if your life. PM me for details.

 

Any IT guy that knows his stuff wouldn't be skint at weekends and living off pizza.

 

Not in Dublin, rents gone through the roof if lucky to get a place,few houses getting built, shortage all round, gone mad again and Brexit in the mix.BTW paying more on rent than a mortgage would cost you so how the **** are you supposed to save?

 

I just bought a house

 

Have prices to buy gone through the roof too though?

 

Aye, getting as bad as Celtic tiger days

Aye,average price for a house in Dublin broke the €400,000 barrier,average rent around the €1,300 mark a month.

That is only a yield of 3.9%, which isn't exactly great

 

You call that expensive ??

My local city, you can’t get a flat below £200k. A 3 bed terrace in the centre puts you back £700k. In the ****ty suburbs you’re at the £400k mark.

I can’t live where I work due to that. I live in a ****ty army town, and it still cost me £300k for a 3 bed semi.

 

Maybe not still a struggle for most to get a deposit together,they haven't gone completely mad and giving out 100% mortgages,yet!

 

The people who have got mortgages on buy to let properties with low yields will be ****ed when interest rates go up and I for one shall laugh at them

 

Similar here,go outside Dublin but then you end up with a 2hr commute,you could get something for the €200,000 mark but wouldn't be the most salubrious area,but needs must for some I guess.

 

Those ****ers are partly to blame,not renting their properties per se but putting them on airbnb.

 

I suppose that depends on whether you are the landlord or the tenant. Because as a tenant, unless you're purely looking to rent a room, then anything such as a house is going to cost you nigh on a grand a month for anything half decent down South.

Imho anyone that purely rents and does not look to own their own property is a bit of a mug.

 

Look at the Irish pretending they don't live in caravans LOL
