Yeah the likelihood is that we'll rent the camberwell place at least until we're out the other end of our fixed term, but possibly longer depending on how it goes.
We don't really know where we want to live so renting will give us a flavour of it. We're currently looking at carrick on shannon. It's halfway between her parents in Ballina and my parents in dublin, it's cheap, and it's 1.5hrs from dublin by train/car, depending on traffic.
Ireland doesn't do quaint picturesque villages as well as England sadly.

We are about to complete and went on a 2 year rather than 5 year for exactly the reason of eventually moving to Ireland, the main reason we’re in London is she’s in a great position with work.
Keep the Camberwell place and rent in Ireland? My partners parents moved back from the US last year to Galway, it took them better part of a year to find a suitable house, and they were well positioned with cash from selling their house - they got their place by being local. So, my guess is that even without the blockers you have, with the shortage of supply over there you might have a hard time finding what you want anyway?
You’re right it’s a different kettle of fish to over here where Brexit is pushing prices down. I can only imagine full brexit is going to screw Dublin and the suburbs even more with supply moving to address to the higher end for misplaced finance people.
