Show Notes
Congrats! You've found your dream home, you've won the bidding war and your offer has been accepted! What happens next?
It's often a big surprise to be finally Sale Agreed, and people panic about what happens next. There's lots of things to do at this stage. This episode takes you through the next steps: Paying A Booking Deposit Choosing A Solicitor Informing Your Bank / Broker Instructing a Surveyor Arranging Mortgage Protection / Home Insurance
Then I interview Suzanne Parker, from Parker Law Solicitors about choosing a solicitor, what they do for you in the sales process and how much you should expect to pay for their services.
Finally, I take you through "In Out and Away", this week we are looking at apartments for around €370,000, in Dublin City Centre, on the outskirts in Stepaside, and then Away in Bray, Co. Wicklow. And for "New Home vs Old Home" we find one of the few new build apartments available to purchase in South Co. Dublin, and compare what Old Home you would get in the same area for €650,000.
Finally, our news for the week is about Interest Rates and Mortgages. More on that Central Bank easing of the lending rules, and another lender pulling out of some of their longer term fixed rates. Switch now while you have the chance!
