Some thoughts on budget 2013 and why it’s so sneaky

The expression ‘at least Dick Turpin wore a mask’ is used to describe the times somebody robs you blind right to your face. This week I’m sure almost every person in the country could identify with that statement as they watched the twin forces of Michael Noonan and Brendan Howlin unleash cuts that hurt just about everybody, at least they didn’t discriminate. A few weeks ago I wrote about the way that politicians will hammer regular people always and without fail, a few of you wrote back saying it didn’t have to be like that, and my response was (and is) that it remains the fastest and easiest road to take, which is why people of every political ideology end up doing it.

Irish Times: What first time buyers want…

We were mentioned recently in the Irish Times by Frances O’Rourke in a piece about first time buyers. Mortgage broker Karl Deeter is just as certain of the trend towards houses: “The overwhelming majority of our clients, over 90 per cent, are not looking to buy apartments.” He doesn’t think people are – or should – make a decision to buy on the basis that their mortgage repayments would be similar to their rents. Many people will stretch a little to pay the mortgage on a house they plan to live in forever “or at least the foreseeable future”. (He also reminds would-be buyers that mortgages taken out next year will get a reduced rate of mortgage interest tax relief before it disappears after 2012.

Sunday Business Post: More haste, less speed in the mortgage crisis

Figures compiled by Karl Deeter at Irish Mortgage Brokers showed that the size of the average first-time buyer mortgage peaked in the first quarter of 2008, at €251,000.

Sunday Times: Relief cuts cost the cautious

FIRST-TIME house buyers risk losing up to €26,100 in mortgage interest tax relief if they put off purchasing until next year. Karl Deeter, of Irish Mortgage Brokers, said: “Couples would have to earn an extra €50,000 before tax to make up for the interest relief they’d lose by not buying in 2011. They’re better off buying now, even though houses prices are likely to be lower in 2012.”
