    €330k plus another €10k stamp duty on top of that. And it's not a house :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    Some number.

    3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, single family detached home. Large back and front garden and a two car garage. 150m^2. Built in 1980, in decent enough condition.

    Paid 115k EUR

    Mortgage cost me 705 EUR per month.
    Best of all, it was a 1km commute to work.

    Now I pay 1450 EUR per month for a 2 bed 1 bath 100m^2 apartment. Neighbours above, to the left, to the right and behind. No parking. Alarms going off at all hours of the night and kids I don't know standing outside my window.

    Commute now is 8km which wouldn't be too bad, except for the traffic and my inability to drive to work.

    I'm starting to think Dublin is not the city for me.

    Is this a thread about my house is worth more than yours? In that case, mine is worth 10 million quid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36 Lotus2014


    650K love it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,439 ✭✭✭corner of hells


    Hmm , first one cost 60k , pre Celtic tiger. Second one 200k , separation and divorce will probably cost me bout 86 million and probably a leg .I also own a share in a family home and also a shack and A piece of swamp/field which is looking very attractive now.Payday is next Friday and Ive 14 euros till then ,

    As you can guess the mad hitch has been recently on the phone.

    I don't know, I built it myself and never really totalled up the final cost. The money for construction came from the same account as the general day to day living, so the building costs got mixed in with the groceries.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,954 ✭✭✭Tail Docker


    It hit somewhere north of 3 million during the boom, probably about 1 now. Yeah, I should have sold, but there you go. You gotta live somewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 478 ✭✭Duvetdays


    235k a few year ago. This month one across the road from me with not as much done to it sold for €285k.

    Now as the good times are coming back I'm off to Bulgaria to buy a two bed apartment on my credit card.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 252 ✭✭A Greedy Algorithm


    It is becoming more apparent to me that i will never be able to buy a house, they are just to expensive. I am going to try and get a cabin or mobile home or something, if i can afford it.

    IR£71500.

    Received a letter from the lender about the end of the mortgage only this morning. (Friday)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,240 ✭✭✭Markcheese


    210,000 euro about 8 years ago . Had to renovate last year so add 40 k , on the plus side I'm on a tracker so the lifetime cost (total over 35 years) is a lot lower than if I tried to buy now with a low purchase price but higher interest rate. :-)
    (I keep telling myself that anyway)

    50,000 Punts, 45K mortgage, 3 bed semi, thought we would never pay it back, sold it for 180,500 euro after 8 years, bought a 4 bed semi for 222,500, owe about 70k, on a tracker, about 7 or 8 years left on it.

    Could be a lot worse
