With Dublin now more expensive than London

Really? Surely only in some areas? Or do you mean cost of living?

Pretty much anywhere central has gone through the roof. A mate has just bought a 3 bed in a place none of us would ever have aspired to live, and he paid 400k. Couple that with a maximum of 80% loan makes buying a property in the centre pretty tough for 1st time buyers.

The cost of living in general is much much higher in Ireland, its a joke. Personal tax rates are so high.

Where can you buy a 3-bed in London for £340k?

Thanks, I think I still need some persuading that Dublin is more expensive than London (as far as property is concerned), though. That the general cost of living is higher in Ireland is something I've heard before.
