“PEOPLE CAN BE very fixed on postcodes,” says Mark Stafford of DNG estate agents.
He advises potential home buyers to think in terms of their particular needs, rather than being fixated on a particular neighbourhood.
“Figure out what your big draw is. Is it the coast, or the city centre? Look at the areas close by that you haven’t thought about.”
For anyone wondering about the right place to buy, he also suggests getting out there and viewing as many properties as possible in person, to get a real sense of the market. “That way you’ll discover new areas.”
You should always look at places on the fringes of where you like. And don’t rule out one side of the city, whether it’s north or south.”
Mark Stafford is just one of the speakers at the Home Experience Event with Daft.ie and KBC Bank, which takes place next Thursday November 2 at the CHQ Building in Dublin.

That’s some jolly up for the lads
They might learn what a real riot is
I thought Gardai were understaffed. But any opportunity to impress our EU masters and hey presto we find 56 that are not needed.
Jesus can we not comment on any article now……the CAMHS article below….Tipperary branch told my 16 year old unless your going to kill yourself, we can’t help you……I had to bring my daughter to G.P 8 times in a couple of months and paid for private counselling…but hey ho there’s an endless pit of money for anyone that’s not Irish…
@Clare Power: Just walk into the IPAS office, say you’re from Georgia and lost your passport. Tell them you’re being victimized because you’re gay. Hey presto, free medical card!
@YKwkSIqW: it would be funny if it wasn’t the truth
@Clare Power: It’s complete lunacy.
@Clare Power: Hope things work out fir you and your family and you get the support required
@F T: sorted now thank God
@Clare Power: piss poor this Journal
@Clare Power: my daughter went through the CHAMS system for a number of years. She got absolutely nothing from it. Constant waiting, then cancellations, sometimes within a half hour of her appointment. It’s a total train crash.
The French police will eat them alive. And they’ll show them how to be real police
I hope they’ll get a good orientation course. They’ll need to know where to get chips after hours and where they can scab freebies.
Could we get a dig out in Dublin from the gendarme
They don’t need them at the Portal now
Law & Order in complete tatters at home, yet the Garda Siochana are able to send 56 Gardai to France. I recall an incident last year where a young female student was being assaulted in broad daylight by a male & other students couldn’t get anyone to come out from the Divisional HQ 10 mins away. Sadly the Gardai Siochana has become politicized & these type of ventures along with incidents such as punishing a Garda for giving a bike to an elderly man or hitting innocent people with batons in Newtown only serve to alienate the public even further. All just, to look good in Europe.
This is great in theory but can’t imagine that the Irish Po Po have the competence to police an event of such magnitude. They go into hiding at the best times. Key stone cops. “Dig out”
It’s great to see EU countries helping each other in so many ways
Probably for the best as the Irish ferals are throwing a tantrum when the law gets applied to them.
Isn’t France the country who wants to send troops on the ground in Ukraine? But needs foreign nations to lend a hand to secure France during the Olympics? That country and its boytoy president are a joke.
@Ryan Hulin (ryansjourneys): drag us along with them headcase
What they going to do, hit people with a breakfast roll?
have your say
