Buying a gaff

[MerchantOfEnnis]

My boss was very excited a few weeks ago when a house she’s buying went sale agreed.

I asked here where the house was.

Mullingar.

Fermoy doesn’t seem so bad after all.

Mullingar is a great town.

Home of Joe Dolan, Niall Horan, and Michael O'Leary.

Who is Fermoys most famous person?

Michelle O'Neill?

Michael O’Leary was actually born in Kanturk.

Now I'm conscious that most posters here live in their parent's attic, but there are probably a few who have hopped on the property ladder.

My question is as follows.

How much would you want to be setting aside for "costs" such as solicitors, valuations, and any other shit that might not be immediately obvious?

It's all well and good to find a house and say €500k, perfect. But there must be a fair bit of extra cash required on the side is there?

Any smart comments will see you immediately removed from the guestlist for my housewarming party. Unless you're Matlock, who is always welcome to call round for a cuppa.

Solicitor = €2500
Condition Survey = €500-750 depending on the property
You’ll also have to pay surveyors for the bank etc so stick another €500 aside for that

Then your missus will decide to just do a bit of work and all of those figures above won’t even register on the excel sheet

As a matter of fact Mullingar has improved considerably, a grand spot on the Royal canal

To be honest I’d be ashamed to have been born in the same shithole as Joe Dolan.

Don't be so sure

That's not too bad. A friend of mine is in the process of buying a gaff in Portarlington and the costs he's rambling on about are scary. He's moving back from Amsterdam so I suspect that he's just spending a rake load on hookers and passing the cost off as fees associated with the gaff.

We're looking for a three bed. I have insisted on a "me" room which I plan on very elaborately decorating with music and sports stuff.

Ever see those gaffs with sex rooms/dungeons?

How would you even go about getting one of those built lol. Into Caseys furniture or somewhere, "how's things, could you bring over a few sex slings and a cage please"

Surely Brief Encounters has a few second hand sex slings around the place?

My ex who I mentioned in the pubs thread had a German housemate who had a sex swing in her room, like it was the most normal thing in the world
