Guys,
A mate of mine has an offer accepted of €380k on a 2nd hand 4 bed semi in Rathnew but they have also seen a new estate in Rathdrum and they are €378k for the 3 bed semi. They are FTB's.
Which is the better option?. Finance wise they are saving €11k on stamp duty if they go with the new house, mortgage wise it's much the same repayments.
They both work in Sandyford and have too drop their baby off to creche in Bray each day & pick up.
They like Rathdrum as it seems like a pretty village and a nice area to live in but not great on amenities but it's not a bad run off the M11 really, straight thru Glenealy and onto Rathdrum is about 20 mins apparantly.
Rathnew is a straight run from door to door really.
Anyone any advice on what the best option for them is??
