ABOUT THE AUTHOR

INTRODUCTION

Since I wrote the first edition of the Irish Property Buyers’ Handbook back in 2011, the property market in Ireland has changed. More importantly, the world has changed, particularly in how information is consumed. I know that property buyers need access to the most up-to-date, reliable and immediate information when the time comes to start searching for that ideal property or when it’s time to put in the winning offer.

There isn’t always time to get to a bookshop, or to wait for an online order to be delivered, or to wade through lots of helpful though not necessarily relevant content to answer that one pressing property query or to help guide you through one particular stage of the buying process. I understand. For times like these, the Property Insider’s Guide series has an ebook for you.

Current titles cover choosing a property, property negotiation and making an offer, working with your solicitor, understanding a structural survey report – and more titles will follow, just as fast as I can find experts to share their specialist knowledge and experience. And if there are topics that you’d like to see covered in the series, or you’d like to contribute to the series as an expert writer on your own specialist area, do drop me a line at carol@caroltallon.com. I’d love to hear from you!

This ebook – the first in the series – looks at choosing a home of your own. Whether it’s your first house purchase or you’re trading up or downsizing, you’re sure to find nuggets of value or that cause you to think a little differently. Enjoy your reading. I hope you and yours have many happy years in your new home!
