Guest sinead Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We looked at that as well but I think they only pay you 80% of normal market rent value for the 5 year deal. Is that correct? They have a 20 year deal for 90% I think. I also think they are not liable for damage. Is that correct? What they were offering me was the exact same as what the local estate agent said id get, so i dunno bout the 20% less thing and i dont know bout the 20yr 90% thing either!! Sorry! I do however know tthat People going into them are people that have been housed for a minumim 3 years with no problems and are looking for more of a long term place.. and they are all supposed to vetted aswell... I know it might be a little less than what you'd get privately but its guaranteed and thts something id need.. I keep thinking if things go arseway even more than the rental will go down but i know where i stand!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the coyne family Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks, did they mention anything about damage & who is responsible? That is my main concern. You are responsible for any breakdowns damage etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrisDubBris Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We looked into this as well we had them out and the house was approved its €950 per month MAX we were told 4 years. Once you sign up they guaranteed you that amount every month.They told me the max amount went down in the budge think it was €1100 per month, as far as i can remember he said even if the rates go back up you only get what you signed for. We're still thinking about it. Thanks, who did you speak to about it? I would be very interested. I think my wife called Fingal CC in the past about it.

BrisDubBris Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You are responsible for any breakdowns damage etc.... Oh, ok. I guess that is to be expected. We would need someone to keep an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfarrell Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Just wanted to say hi to all the Irish peeps on here... we are in the process of our visa now and I am due baby no 3 in June... am hoping things move along quick. We are moving over to my brother that is in North Brisbane. Cant wait. Thank God we arent in negitive equity as we bought our hours in 2002 and got a great price... we should get about 50k more than we paid back then... which is still hard as we put alot of money in to it. I just hope when the time comes we can actually sell it :-( Anyway great to read posts from Ireland, its more relevant to me as in shipping costs... etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfarrell Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Lucky is right... reckon if we had of waited one year more to buy our first house we would be crying into our tea right now. Its awful the situation some people are in.... really and truly is... Ive friends in the exact same boat so I do sympathise. Im trying to work out how much we will need from shipping stuff over to arriving there for rent etc for a couple of months. Its hard tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Off to the Sun Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi guys, there is a website Do you have a property to let? there are factsheets on it with details the scheme. If you rent it for 5 years you are like a normal landlord (i.e. responsible for all maintanence) but if you do it over a longer period like 10 - 20 yrs you are only responsible for structural maintance, you only get 80% of the market value though. I'm ringing Kilkenny Council this week, I'll let ye know how I got on. Bel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the coyne family Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I spoke to Alan on 2225353, your house has to be compliant with housing standards and you have to be able to obtain a tax clearance cert every year, you also need a BER Cert. Its more complicated when your an absentee landlord they can take 27% tax at source but their is ways around it just not too sure about how yet.

Such a shame I know I haven't even had time to take it in, I've so busy packing and arranging things. I suppose it will hit me in the airport. Yea a real shame every second person I talk to is emigrating its very sad. Not to mention all those poor people in negative equity it makes my blood boil, thank god we bought our house in 1996 so we're OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the lady said it makes me think they are way over subscribed for houses. People in the Briggan seem to have stopped even trying to sell. There are a couple of for sale signs but not many. Still, there are people worse off than us. Some are way way in negative equity with no hope of getting square any time soon. Estate agents have been quite rude & dismissive as well. The shoe is on the other foot now. Sellers are a dime a dozen & they don't have to bother making much effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
