The Dublin Housing Crisis and the homeless
The Dublin Housing Crisis
The Dublin housing crisis has caused much pain and anguish for prospective buyers in our nation’s capital, but what exactly is going on? How did it start? How is it affecting people? And what is the government doing to tackle it?
The crisis has its roots in the big economic crash of 2008. Back then, house prices in Ireland, and especially in Dublin, were sky high, and when the global stock market crashed, so did the Irish property market. Homeowners were sent into negative equity, owing more to the banks than their properties were worth. It was a torrid time, but there was one silver lining: houses suddenly looked more affordable.
The benefits having a good Estate Agent in Dublin
The benefits of having a good estate agent in Dublin
With Dublin’s high property prices, there’s no shortage of an estate agent in Dublin who wants to represent you and your property. Whether you’re selling or letting, you have a wide selection to choose from. But you may be asking yourself: what makes one estate agent better than the others?
If you’re selling, the most obvious answer is that a good estate agent will get you the best possible price for your property. But there’s more to it than that.
First of all, there are the fees. In Ireland, the typical commission charged on the sale of a house is between 1% and 2.5%, depending on the value of the house. More expensive homes are charged a higher commission, while less expensive ones are on the lower end of the spectrum. The best agents will charge you an appropriate commission, one that offers you value for money and doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re being ripped off.
Secondly, selling can be a long process, and you will therefore be interacting with your agent for an extended period of time. Because of this, you want your estate agent to be easy to get along with. You want them to be professional and polite, and to deal with your queries quickly and efficiently. If they do this, selling your property will be a pleasant experience, and you’ll be happy to deal with them again.
