Apartment Blocks with Communal Heating

Red Alert · 2014-06-23 13:42:00

I'm considering going to see an apartment that appears to have communal heating (radiators), part of the Irish Life centre. Apparently it's included in the rent.

Assuming it is these: https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.350468,-6.256181,3a,75y,177.21h,117.13t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sSJyS7BsIhDQT10sA1fz5Sw!2e0 I imagine they were built around 1980, so much older than Spencer Dock. However, I don't know what age the heating system is - it might be quite modern.

You should get a copy of the heating agreement and ask for copies of bills for the last few years.
