The recession was just about starting to bite a short 10 yrs ago yet house prices,rents etc are even higher now than they were back then....a lot of people losing the run of themselves already.
Yeah it’s probably idiots who struggled through the recession, were in negative equity but now their house has come back to being in their favour that want to remortgage again.
The amount of houses being build in the Portmarnock, Kinsaley, Malahide, Balgriffin this year and last is unreal and I’d love to know who can actually afford them as I know my wife and I certainly wouldn’t be able to buy one of these new houses, even if we were first time buyers
