PROPERTYGU­IDE OLD V NEW

-

There’s nothing like the fabulous smell of newness. Whether it’s just small things like taking the top off a sealed box of Quality Street or piercing the foil on a new jar of Gold blend, we all love to breathe deep and luxuriate in freshness before it evaporates eventually through day to day familiarit­y. One of the most sensuous feelings of newness is sitting in a brand new car with all that leather and vinyl and shiny new toys to play with. The salesman desperatel­y hoping that you will sign up before that wonderful headiness fades away. Why do you think that Car Show Rooms are such shiny open buildings welcoming you in at any time?

I’ve sat there myself and I’ve loved it, I mean who hasn’t? Indeed, lots of us decide to go with it, rationalis­ing our decision with practical decisions like reliabilit­y, less maintenanc­e, doing our bit for Climate Change and after all, it’s only so much per month….

It’s the same at the moment with all the wonderful shiny, fresh paint smelling, heat pump using, climate saving, A rated new houses on the market, they’re just fabulous and you want them. You want the new toys that come with them also, you deserve them. The Fibre Broadband, the Smart Home systems, the Electric car charging points….

The really good news is…and this doesn’t apply when buying a new car… you can actually get a grant from the government to buy one. If you are a first time buyer, the government gives you up to 5% of the price, what’s not to like?

John Kearney here and we have some of these available now up in Ard Uisce, up on Whiterock Hill in Wexford Town. Beautiful shiny, three bedroom semi-detached houses with all the very latest technology.

Why not treat yourself ? Call us today on 053 9123 015 to find out more.

But what are your other options? As it happens, not everybody buys a brand new car and lots of people go down the route of the dependable older model. Still reasonably shiny but maybe without all the clever toys. Sometimes it makes sense to stay within a budget and thankfully there is always a good range of decent second hand cars out there.

With houses, the same applies. Despite all these wonderful new houses out there at the moment, don’t forget that there are still loads of quality second hand options in the housing market.

Solid dependable houses, that other families have already grown up in and that are now great value in relative terms. Plus don’t forget that the government is also prepared to give you some money for improving your energy rating, maybe not quite to an A level but there are several simple things you can do to save on your day to day costs. Stoves, solar panels, insulation, etc.

Have a look at some of these properties on our website www.kearneypro­perty.ie

Whichever option you choose we will work with you to ensure that your transactio­n goes smoothly and we hope you have years of happiness in your chosen home, brand new or otherwise!
