Me and my girlfriend have 317,000 max to spend on a property.
Both of us work in Dublin, has to be in Co. Dublin and a new development.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Would love some help on this,
Thanks in advance.
 
Have checked new developments in my home but no prices available!

Can only afford a one bed in Ongar, 2 bed town house where we rented for the last year has gone up 100,000 in 12 months!!!

People are telling me to move to Newbridge, but that will be a last resort.
 
3-bed semi on my road sold about 2 months ago for 300k. I'm in Stamullen, near Gormanston/Balbriggan. It's Meath, but only by a stones throw. Close to railway line and M1 motorway, depending on where you work. I work in Tallaght and daily commute is about an hour each way, which isn't bad considering the distance.

Why is a new development so important? Stamp duty?
 
Cheers Conor, stamp duty is the reason alright. Girlfriend works in City west me Dublin 15, will tell her about Stamullen, near Gormanston/Balbriggan cheers.
 
Try Castlelyon in Newcastle Co. Dublin - next door to Citywest. HOK are selling them - I know most in your price range are reserved but you may get a cancellation as they're selling from the plans - good location...
 
If your max price range is 317K then stamp duty is not an issue for you so you can look at second hand houses also.

are u ftb's and if so why not try a second hand property in balbriggan
 
Have you checked out Tyrrelstown, I think it is a little bit more reasonably priced then Ongar. The village is built now with pub, cafe, restaurants, superquin, Off-licence, etc.

As long as both of you are first time buyers, this is correct.
