Given this information it makes it an easier decision, I would definitely sell. It looks like you would want to move anyway so moving costs, stamp duty etc. would apply regardless.

Have to agree knowing your situation...I'd sell, but would trade up if you have the funds.

CelloPoint,

What will be the event which will cause the market to crash? I'm very bearish but I tend towards a view of a long-drawn out correction as I think interest rates are on a gradual increase. To get a crash, we need a sharp change and I don't see where that comes from....

You don't need a sharp change - the trigger doesn't have to be a large event, sometimes it's just the straw that breaks the camel's back. Rising interest rates are more than enough. The market has started to turn already.
 
Thanks for the replies (almost feel like I'm running the place now!). I had my own idea that the "renters" were young(er), renting and living a carefree live of debauchery (ahh the dayz), but am surprised to see quite a few in their 30s and owning houses recommending to Sell..puts a different slant on it for me entirely...

Think we might all sell and crash Bedsits gaff!

One word: sentiment.

A change in sentiment will be enough imho.
 
Conspiracy theory number 354:

Permanent TSB haven't released any figures for their June Price Index. Generally they release figures before the end of the next month. June figures could be interesting especially with the World Cup. I would suspect a drop in prices.

Alternately the person who compiles the information might be on holidays.
