The Irish property market has changed dramatically over the past decade. Following a historic boom, the property bubble then burst in a frenzy of political upheaval and banking chaos on a national and international scale. This book deals with buying at an uncertain time, navigating the economic fallout and understanding the new opportunities in a dramatically changed marketplace. In this comprehensive guide, prospective property buyers will be introduced to new strategies to help source their ideal property at prices well below market value. Sources of off-market properties will be investigated along with more traditional ones. Property negotiations are covered in three chapters, starting with the need for strategic research and selection in advance, moving on to the practical psychology of buying from motivated sellers and their agents before looking at final measures on how to close the best deal. In addition, this handbook gives critical advice on how to buy a home through auction. Auctions are set to become the reality for residential buyers seeking a bargain in 2011/2012.
