You’ve got your finances in order and you’re ready to start the search for your dream home – congratulations!
As a first-time buyer, you are about to embark on a very exciting journey, one that will end with you holding the keys to your forever home.
Considering you’ve never done this before, we can only assume you’ve got a bunch of burning questions whirling about in your head.
Is it a good time to buy? Should I invest in a new build or second hand home? Where should I consider buying and how do I know it’s the right time to start bidding?
If you’re in need of guidance as you embark on this next milestone in life, you’ve come to the right place as we’ve teamed up with AIB for the My First Home with AIB Virtual Event Series covering the essential topics you need to know as a first-time buyer.
Hosted by broadcaster and TV presenter Brendan Courtney, the series features four in-depth conversations with a leading expert each week. Best of all? It’s FREE and you can tune in from the comfort of your own couch.
The next episode in the series, which is available to watch on Tuesday, 29th October at 8pm, will see Brendan in conversation with estate agent and property guru Owen Reilly.
Leaving no topic uncovered, the pair will have an in-depth chat about the housing market and house hunting process.
Owen and Brendan will also discuss the ins and outs of buying a home in Ireland, the bidding and negotiation process, common pitfalls and so much more.
