About this blog

Buying a home is one of those life-changing moves that almost everyone does. If you have done it already you are aware of how mind blowing nerve wrecking and nail biting it is.

You are most likely also aware of how many things you have to juggle and arrange in order to secure it all. If you have moved to a different city while securing your first house you will be aware of how near impossible that juggling act can seem.

At the moment myself and my partner are in the process of trying to move to Galway city on the West coast of Ireland, from Dublin city on the East coast of Ireland. This involves securing our first mortgage, buying our first home and sorting out finding new jobs or relocating our current ones.

My intention here is to provide both a time-line story of our experience, and more importantly provide as much useful information for anyone who may choose to do the same as we have.
