Realistic Rent - Galway

Jugs82

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

Hi J

Take 20% off whatever they are looking for in Daft. I've already brought my landlord down by €175 per month and i could have done down by €250 if i really wanted to nail him

I never use daft when looking for accomodation in Galway. I always use the Galway Advertiser. I'm currently living in a lovely 8 bedroom house, only 3 of us living there and we have the other 5 rooms done up as guest rooms. My rent is only 280 a month, and I'm living out by the race course which suits me fine as I work in Parkmore. Shop around, and be sure to check the advertiser.

So realistically, how much are people paying for a 3 bedroom semi-detached house in say....knocknacarra?
