    Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office

    We did discuss some of them on here at the time. Not that it did any good. An awful lot emigrated as well. It's still not over for some. The banks go on, as do their boards. And as you said, the Central Bank was shameful in it's turning a blind eye.

    LPT - Property Valuation Guide Band

    Revenue have changed their rules and their guidance already, not as regards this but as regards divided properties for LPT. I have it in writing from them that my good faith valuation for the 1st LPT is ok. Though @T McGibney thinks I cannot rely on it ! Revenue didn't tell anyone they had...

    Train delay compensation - Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail

    Also Irish rail prices are fantastic. People in the UK pay very high prices, and it's not just the UK. Privatisation has also wreaked havoc for many commuters in the UK. I think I got to Galway or Waterford for about 20 Euro, and that's landing in city center Galway and a 5 minute walk in...

    LPT - Property Valuation Guide Band

    How do you know the discounts are correctly calculated? I think we should deal with reality, the value on purchase, and that should apply to all properties. When sold. With the prior value staying with the prior guestimate by the owner. (good faith scenario) What happens if property prices...

    LPT - Property Valuation Guide Band

    Thank you, it was not something I was aware of. So Jimmy is in Band 4. It would be much easier if revenue just agreed on the purchase price as the valuation. Are the discounts in the legislation?

    LPT - Property Valuation Guide Band

    Clearly I'm missing something here. If there is no house in 2021 why would you use that as a valuation in November 2023? You just use the value of it last November. Which it would be reasonable to go with the figure paid for it in 2023

    Home office at rear of garden

    How do they disclaim their advice if you have it in writing from them?

    LPT - Property Valuation Guide Band

    What is the discount for? And there was nothing built in 2001? First deposit was paid in November 2022 with the actual sale in 2023.

    LPT - Property Valuation Guide Band

    - the revenue valuation guide is merely a guide so you can ignore that - the true value is what you paid for it, so 500K I've no idea what you are referring to about as regards 2021 and discounts. You only purchased it in 2023, it wasn't even built before that ! So it's the situation in...

    Joint tenancy with sibling

    There are only 2 options, sell or not sell. Sell to you and put on open market are the same thing. Him not selling will be taken from him by you going to law. Where is his logic in buying you out? Timewasting is all this is.

    Home office at rear of garden

    I'd rather not be in trouble with the Taxman than the planning office.

    Home office at rear of garden

    I would get your accountant or yourself to send an email to revenue for advise on the tax situation. As regards planning, it's better to stay away from the planning office. You'll only give yourself grief.

    Do we have to marry to secure our future in the event of death.Are there any other options at all?

    What kind of a problem is this. There is no gun to you head. And of course you have choices, to get married or not to get married. One of you will be in a right legal mess otherwise. You can sort out your future legal mess by getting married. Everything legal involves some paperwork...

    Joint tenancy with sibling

    Well is it true that the rental would be a lot more if you were not there? Because a court might put a figure on the lost benefit for him. Those tenants don't even sound like rent a room to me. Sounds more like shot term student letting.

    Joint tenancy with sibling

    You renovated the house for yourself. Obviously it adds to the value, depending on what you did. And you cannot live without a boiler. The lawnmower you purchased is a petty thing to bring up, don't you need the grass cut. You're putting in money based on your half ownership, and on your...

    Joint tenancy with sibling

    Au contraire you have dithered into 3 years. Even now instead of going legal you don't, and worse you are put up with him giving you no solutions, only complaints while you yourself refuse to budge. You're even put in pre conditions that your sale must correspond with your purchase. With...

    3 siblings inherited house and I want to buy the other 2 out - need advice

    Who is doing the probate? I wouldn't be transferring any money to any sibling without something legal. What if they decide in 6 months they don't want to sell, or that they want more than you've agreed?

    House borrowing options for over 60's

    Options - find a house within budget - borrow for another purpose if it makes it easier to get the 50K (eg educational loan for children, car loan etc)

    Joint tenancy with sibling

    You are dithering, and because you are not taking a firm decision your brother is toying with you. So it is up to you, not he, to make a decision. Which should be : - sell your other property, right now you cannot buy him out, so you are just as bad as he is, because in your post you say you...
