Are they just allowing developers to just put them up on MyHome.ie or Daft.ie at whatever price, calling this the “market price” and then printing this out to justify whatever insane purchase or lease price they “agree” for some future “audit” purposes? Nothing seems right about what’s going on IMO

Total renovation needed but one of the best locations in dalkey outside the super prime roads and a fine big plot.

There are a number of factors required to ground the offence including dishonesty. No one really knows but the capacity (MiFID firm) and the basis (best result for the client) obligations don’t seem to have been met. The assertion in the civil claim that the owner tried to cancel the sale to avail of a better offer from another broker but was told he could not do so would all be factored that a criminal court would have to bear in mind. Given the prior reporting of the civil case, the poverty of management response etc, it is hard to see how it was not reported to Gardai for ass-covering purposes if nothing else.

Sinn Fein will be standing on the sidelines waiting and calling shame shame on the government for throwing family out. Ergo Turkeys dont vote for xmas and no government will do this.

Yes not being able to reposes property has in impact but it’s not the only cause

That is the main reasons why those who pay mortgages has to pay for those who does not and that why banks are leaving ! That is the some of the main reasons why prices are high and people are homeless ! How will be rising price of the house when mortgage rate will be 2 or 0.5 per cent ? And market will be full of reposesed property ? Who will take mortgage if he will know that he will lose job in month or two and will be thrown from house ? When now people hurry buy property because they know they will not thrown out ! What bringing property prices up ! Believe me I will vote for anybody who will bring my mortgage cost down ! I will not care about who loosing them home because cant or does not want to pay ! If you can not pay mortgage go to social housing ! And give your house to those who can pay that is the first ! The next every house has to have 1 house owner and property has to be registered to government register centre as car with log book ! Simply sign buy-sell contract in solicitor office get the log book of the house and move to the property within 3 days ! Same as in many countries ! Not in 1 year time as is in Ireland at the moment ! Paying lower mortgage rate house owners can spend more for other things what will move economy forward.Holidays,cars,furniture,kids education. People who understand that will vote with smile on face for any politician who will throw people from houses if they cant pay for it !

PropQueries wrote: » But do the banks really want easier repossessions? They’ve sold off so many of their non-performing loans at this stage that if repossessions were made easier, the funds who bought them would flood the market with repossessed properties and collapse the property market and that would impact the banks even more so than easier repossessions. I think the banks are going to milk whatever non-performing mortgages they have left on their books for all their worth to keep justifying ever higher charges, rates etc. when in reality it will be lack of competition and price gouging IMO

Hubertj wrote: » Prior to COVID NPLs had fallen significantly and were heading towards the EU average so there was probs Bly a case then to look at easing the capital requirements. We would then have seen if interest rates were reduced. Less incentive now with what looks like less competition unless some of the digital banks decide to take a punt. Also have to assume NPLs will increase but you would hope the banks will address them in a more timely manner this time.
schmittel wrote: » With regards to capital requirements I think it is the average recovery level from NPLs that is important, not the number of NPLs. Ours is less than 10% whereas the Eu average is about 50% IIRC. That’s the number we need to get in line with the average if we want to argue about easing the capital requirements.
