In this episode of "The Crazy House Prices Podcast," I delve into the extra costs of buying a home in Ireland, a key topic from my book "How to Buy a Home in Ireland." I cover essential expenses beyond the deposit, such as stamp duty, solicitor and valuer fees, property tax, home and mortgage protection insurance, and moving costs.
Listeners will gain insights into managing these additional costs, with advice on budgeting effectively. I recommend saving 12%-13% of the home's purchase price to comfortably cover these expenses. The episode offers practical tips, including considerations for stamp duty, the importance of a comprehensive surveyor’s report, and the advantages of alarm systems like Ring.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
