💡🏡 Did you know you can potentially get an Irish mortgage while living abroad?? Earlier this year, I spoke to Rob Priestman from EBS about what that could look like:

🇦🇺 First-time buyer couple in Australia

Combined income: AUD $300,000
≈ €186,800

80% assessed:
€186,800 × 80% = €149,440

First-time buyer borrowing:
€149,440 × 4 = €597,760

Potential mortgage: ~€598,000

At 70% loan-to-value:

Potential property budget: ~€850,000

That could mean a 3–4 bed family home in many parts of Dublin or a larger family home outside Dublin.

🇦🇪 First-time buyer in Dubai

Income: AED 300,000
≈ €72,900

80% assessed:
€72,900 × 80% = €58,320

First-time buyer borrowing:
€58,320 × 4 = €233,280

Potential mortgage: ~€233,000

At 70% loan-to-value:

Potential property budget: ~€333,000

That could mean an apartment or starter home in Dublin, or a wider range of houses in other parts of Ireland.

✨ The key point: you may be able to buy your home in Ireland before you move back.

Figures are illustrative only. Exchange rates, lending criteria and individual borrowing capacity vary.

“If hard work led to success, the donkey would own the farm”

Today I had the privilege of attending “The View from Twenty Two” an event hosted by Digital Marketing, Branding, & Website Design. It was Gary Fox from the The Entrepreneur Experiment live recording a conversation with Diarmuid McSweeney of JUNTO and cofounder of Gym+Coffee; and Lorraine Heskin of Gourmet Food Parlour.

To say it was insightful is an understatement. I spent the morning listening to established and successful entrepreneurs share the learnings from their own business journeys - and it left lots of food for thought… (and also actual delicious food supplied by Lorraine and her team)

As always, it was a pleasure to listen to Gary, who by asking questions with a level of curiosity unparalleled, allowed both Diarmuid and Lorraine to inspire the audience. And a brief conversation with him myself during the break, left me motivated to re-imagine some aspects of Emerald Sage Property Buying Consultants….

You’ve seen the headlines.

“Single buyers are locked out.”
“Buying alone is impossible.”
“Young people can’t afford homes.”

I beg to differ.

Someone taking home €3,000 a month and spending around €2,300 could save roughly:

€8,400 in 1 year
€16,800 in 2 years
€25,200 in 3 years

And that’s before pay rises, bonuses, tax refunds or the occasional extra shift.

But here’s the other part people forget:

Your first home does not need to be your forever home.

Think beyond the 4-bed semi with parking and a big garden.

Maybe it’s an apartment.
Maybe it’s smaller.
Maybe it’s within walking distance of the places you love.
Maybe it gives you independence, security and a first step onto the ladder.

Housing is expensive.

That doesn’t automatically mean buying is impossible.

Run your numbers.
Look at your options.

Decide what you actually need from a first home.

Don’t let a headline rule you out before you’ve even checked.

🏡 Would you value a home by €/m² alone?
I wouldn’t.
Two homes can be the same size, in the same area - and still have very different values.
Because buyers aren’t just buying square metres.
They’re buying location, condition, layout, light, garden, parking, finish and overall desirability.
€/m² can be useful context.
But it’s not the whole story.
👉 I explain why in my latest article on the Emerald Sage website. https://emeraldsage.ie/is-price-per-square-metre-a-good-way-to-value-a-house-in-ireland/

🔑 A very special key day today!

An Irish family moving home from abroad with their young children received the keys to their new home today. 🏡🇮🇪

I supported them throughout the entire journey from overseas - finding finance, choosing the right location and home, advising on bidding, and helping them navigate solicitors, the survey and the many decisions that arise during conveyancing.

The beautiful flowers, chocolates and thoughtful card pictured were such a lovely surprise. 💐🍫

Whatever you may read about the Irish property market, IT IS POSSIBLE to successfully buy a home from abroad and have somewhere ready for your family when you return - with the right preparation, advice and support.

It was a privilege to help make that happen for this family, and I wish them every happiness in their new home. ✨

🏡 A positive step towards faster, more reliable property sales in Ireland

Under new best-practice guidance announced today by the Property Services Regulatory Authority, sellers will be encouraged to appoint their solicitor at the same time as their selling agent and immediately begin gathering the legal documents needed for the sale.

At present, many sellers do not contact a solicitor until after a property has gone sale agreed. Only then does the process of locating title deeds, checking planning documents, obtaining management-company information and preparing contracts begin.

That can add weeks, or months to a transaction.

Starting the legal work when the property first goes to market should mean:
✅ Contracts can be prepared much sooner
✅ Missing documents and title or planning issues can be identified earlier
✅ Sellers have time to resolve problems before a buyer is waiting
✅ Buyers receive greater certainty
✅ Fewer sales should collapse late in the process

The approach reflects the wider move in the UK towards providing important property information upfront, before buyers commit significant time and money to a purchase.

This is not yet a legal requirement in Ireland. However, it is a sensible and very welcome change in practice.

It should help move us closer to the national goal of completing a property sale within eight weeks of an offer being accepted, and create a more transparent, efficient and dependable process for buyers and sellers alike 💚🏡🇮🇪

🔑🏡 Keys in hand… but this one nearly didn’t close.

Items that had been advised as included were removed late in the process 😱

The survey was restricted 🚫 so the surveyor had to return a second time 🔍

Key legal documents weren’t available when needed 📑

The buyers were understandably disappointed, and the sale was at real risk of falling apart. ⚠️

⭐️This is where my role went far beyond finding a good home.

I helped the clients understand the likely cost of replacing/repairing the missing items, found practical solutions, and led the price renegotiation myself - securing a downward adjustment. 💶📉

Their solicitor also played a huge role, chasing, clarifying and keeping things moving right up to closing. 📩

The result?

✅ Closed within 10 weeks
✅ Price reduced
✅ Clients supported
✅ Sale saved

Having the right people in your corner can be worth its weight in gold. ✨
