We sold our Dublin house last year, so to be nearer my work and creche with 2 small children. Figured we'd buy again soon, due to my redundancy we are now a single income family. but have been knocked off the property ladder. We have 200k in savings but cannot afford a house in a 'nice' area of Dublin. Bank will only give us around 280 mortgage. Currently renting in a 'nice' area of Dublin. 3yr old needs to start school Sept 2007. Options are:
- do nothing, hope for a property crash
- move to border county and husband put up with long daily commute and hardly ever seeing kids.
- buy a house in a 'bad' part of Dublin
- buy an investment property in a midlands town and continue to rent in Dublin.
