Hi,
Thanks for that everyone. I luckily know a tax consultant who went through everything with me for free, so stamp duty etc.. Q is ok now.
The building costs really have me stumped, the estimate the architect gave me was for everything full finish etc.. but appliances, decorating and fees were not included. But i know other builds in the area have cost a lot less but dont know if they included the full finish or just the builders cost? Unfortunately because im building in south county dublin, i have to add on an extra 50,000 by the sounds of things, because of rip off prices in dublin in comparison with the rest of the country, but im gonna definetly try and bargain down the prices!
Thanks!
