    Hi Guys

    I need some help finding an apartment. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in D4. I live with my wife and 8 month old son. Our contract ends on DEC 1st. We can't find anywhere to move too that is reasonable.

    We tried daft, let.ie et al

    But no luck. We can't afford the asking prices :(

    If anyone has any information that could help us, please message me.


    Regards,
    Joe.

    Our contract is up in DEC 1st

    Rent allowance is only for un-employed. We would be waiting on the housing list for at least 3-4years

    move further out of town.

    You should be able to get some bargains at the moment, there are loads of apartments that the buy to let guys bought up that are now empty.

    Oh, yeah, ignore the asking price, look for somewhere €200 above what you can afford and make them an offer.

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    We were looking for somewhere in D1,D2,D4,D6,D8

    Unfortunatley for us these are the most expensive areas. We have enrolled our son in school and our GP is great, so these were 2 main reasons for staying within walking distance.

    Rents are begining to fall, but as always, the inner city holds out due to location.

    Guys do you know any more sites?
