BEFORE YOU DECIDE

What to compare

  • Test the real Dublin commute at the time you would travel.
  • Review drainage, exposure and roof condition on the specific property.
  • Use a survey for older homes and snagging for newer handovers where appropriate.

DO NOT ASSUME

The postcode does not tell you everything.

Street, building, management arrangements, property age, alteration history, orientation, parking and the route you actually use can change the experience significantly. Keep the candidate home as the unit of decision.
