I agreed a deal with FCC today. The price I got was fair, probably could of got a little more on the open market but with no agent fees or vacant period when closing I think its ok. Just need the legals to go smoothly and then the single mother gets to stay on in her home of many years!

Yeah I read a few news articles about that. Is it where you as the purchaser when you bought the duplex signed up to the lease and in it it had that condition in the purchasers covenants?

Hi OGC222, I'm still waiting to get an offer from FCC but I see you say your sale is being delayed / may not be possible to go ahead? Can you explain what problem is or prefer not to say which of course is understandable.

So FCC arranged a surveyor and valuer to attend the property in early January. As it stands now they are reviewing both reports and cannot give me a timeline of when they may make an offer.

Yes I have a HAP tenant and the NTQ date is February. I applied nearly two months after you so at that rate the assessment part for me won't conclude until after Xmas.

I started the process at the end of August 2023 to Fingal Co Co. As of today I am still not even through the assessment stage. Like I understand the council are busy but it really is taking too long. Is there anything that can be done to hurry things along?

I just got the managing agent to email me a copy of the evacuation plan, printed it out and stuck it on the door - I did this cause this is what the HAP inspector told me would do the job!

OP re your original question re pensions I've no idea but would be interested in knowing myself! FYI newly appointed APs cannot avail of flexi leave but a lot of Departments now let the APs start and finish work at the same times as staff on flexi time, which is a great help.

My other half was introduced to their current employer a couple of years ago by a friend - this friend received a substantial recruitment bonus, multiples of what your getting. The last thing we thought about was that it should be shared. The person referring in someone is taking all the risk...

Sick leave in the civil service is also linked to promotion. For instance if you have more than 7 uncertified sick days in a 2 year rolling period prior to your appointment in a new role you would deemed ineligible for the promotion.

Thanks Brendan - think that’s the sort of advice they were hoping for!

Friend of mine got a letter to say their mortgage was taken over by a new provider in September this year and would they send in up to date AML documents and change the life insurance noting the interest of the new provider. This mortgage has never been in arrears or late payments etc. The...

Ok so I called and they said the following: Penalty points paid via fixed charge are not a conviction and as they only apply to my licence after the renewal date it does not get recorded until the date they go on. So I have to call them on 10 September and let them know so have no effect on...

Thanks everyone - I'll bite the bullet and tell them and let you know what they say.

Hi all, can anyone confirm the right approach in the below situation. Named driver on spouse's policy got 3 penalty points and letter from the RSA confirming they will be applied to drivers licence on 10 September. Spouse insurance renewal is on 6 September. The two questions asked on the...

Sean when I read your first post I saw great similarities between your family and mine. We are similar ages, have similar combined income with the private / public sector split. We have young children, we have an investment property. The difference is our mortgage around €350k and the house is...

I find this site very good https://www.hia.ie/ci/health-insurance-comparison You can directly compare your existing plan to another one and really see the differences and find out about new ones.

That's great to know, my wife and I may need change who drives which car, I don't mind changing the insurance over but I didn't want another owner going down on each car.
