    Hey,

    Living in a nice place at the moment but moving out in 6 weeks or so.

    The rent is OK - 550 between me and my GF but the house is pretty cold and id love to have a place with an open fire..

    Anyways, GF wants to go back to college next year so i was hoping to get a place by ourselves and was wondering what kind of rent i should be expecting for a 1 or 2 bed place in and around Galway city?

    Ive looked on Daft and the prices are all around the 750 - 1000 range - my question is, when it comes to looking at a place and haggling over price, what redcution on advertised prices would be realistic?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Try; no harm in asking. They can only say no after all. We got the rent here reduced by E20 a week; tiny old cottage he would never have rented else, and it was already well under E100 a week anyways. Many seem to price them high now. We have always got rent reduced by asking ,and this is a very good time to do that.
