Show Notes
House Hunting is the most exciting part of the Home Buying Journey for many people. Browsing the portals, getting out to see the properties, finding out where you want to live and what you can afford. But it can be tough work! This episode, I am guiding you through the basics of house hunting. Where to look for your home, how to decide what you are looking for, what you need and what you want.
Then in our interview I am talking to Melanie Murphy, author and vlogger, who tested out our Irish Home Buyer's Journal and now is the proud owner of her first home. She talks through her trials and tribulations in buying a home, a self-employed and creative person, plus how she found the whole home buying process.
Finally we go through our In Out & Away properties with a special guest, agent Mark Conroy from Tullamore. In New Home vs Old Home we find the only New Homes development in Wexford. And for News we hear that a major lender has hiked rates; shared equity scheme is extended to Self-Builds; Bungalows are Back; and MyHome.ie have their latest report with good news for house buyers.
