    Is it just me or is it like really easy to find a flat this year? I've just moved into a brand new flat (just been built) across from the IFSC and I'm paying €400 a month. I even had a couple of places to choose from.
    Gone be with the days (like 3 years ago) when there was hysteria every year in the quest to find student digs.

    When you can afford it, it seems easier, I suppose. If you have a really strict budget, you'd find it harder, I think.

    Or if you're at the mercy of Rent Allowance then people don't want to know you. It's all a question of money I guess.

    Too true all the new landlords are trying to get the "professional" market. Threshold's report is out later today and it is already saying 1/3 of all rental property is below minimum standards. That's of the inspected property BTW
