  Ep 57: Is Online Bidding Making Irish House Prices Worse? Or, Is the Housing Market Finally Cooling?

  Sep 30, 202623 min

  I’ve built HomeBuyerReady.ie to help you through the whole buying process, with a free account giving you access to property reports, calculators, an assistant and tools to keep track of the homes you’re viewing. It is basically everything you need to know to buy a home, all in one place. In this episode, I break down the latest Daft house price report, what slowing price growth actually means for buyers, and whether Ireland’s housing market is finally starting to cool. I also look at the Government’s review of online bidding and why I think the bigger issue is the whole homebuying and selling process in Ireland. Sponsors: Beat the Bank

  Ep 56: Ireland Is Spending €11.8 Billion on Housing This Year. What Are We Getting for It?

  Aug 12, 202618 min

  The State is spending €11.8 billion on housing this year across more than 40 schemes, tax measures and State agencies. So where is all that money going, and are we getting enough homes in return? I also introduce Homebuyer Ready, my new website designed to help you through every stage of buying a home in Ireland. I explain its property reports, bidding tools, mortgage information, deposit calculator, viewing checklists and property tracker. Homebuyer Ready is currently free while it is being tested.

  Ep 54: Beds in Sheds, Zero Affordable Homes Built in Dublin and Stamp Duty Cuts?

  Apr 23, 202615 min

  Three things this week. The government released its affordable housing figures for 2025 and claimed 17,700 homes delivered. The real number of state-built affordable homes for purchase is 935; and not one of them was built in Dublin City. I go through exactly what's in those figures and why the headline number is misleading. Then: a proposal to cut stamp duty for first-time buyers. Sounds like good news. I explain why it might not be. And finally: the plan to allow modular homes in back gardens without planning permission. No oversight, no tenancy rights for occupants, and who is going to enforce regulations? I explain why I think it's a tragedy waiting to happen.

  Ep 53: They Ghosted My Offer; What Now? 10 Buyer Questions Answered

  Apr 8, 202625 min

  This week is a full listener Q&A — ten real questions from people in the thick of buying a home in Ireland right now. I cover: what to do when you're the only bidder and the estate agent goes silent on you. Why a bank can refuse your mortgage because of a management company — and what it means if yours does. Whether siblings can buy together and how you handle unequal repayments. Could global instability actually crash the Irish housing market? The bid-accepted-but-no-savings-left dilemma. Why there's been no buying strike despite prices being objectively outrageous. Why buying a car when you have AIP could cost you your mortgage. Whether renewing a fixed rate a year early was the right call. What a year in Australia does to your Help to Buy entitlement. And how to actually pick the right area to buy in — and what's worth compromising on. No news this week. Just the questions that matter.
