“Just pop a posh kitchen in it and put it up 48,000€ a year”

  1. Surely a bucket of exterior paint ain’t that expensive

  2. Granny probably only died last week, so it’s fresh to market.

  3. So two houses sold on the same street this year for €470k and €520k. The one that went for 520k is quite big (158 sq m) and in good condition.

    This place doesn’t look like it’d likely command a bigger price, and the mortgage repayments on a 420k loan come in at under €2,000 a month.

    In a normal rental market, you’d be lucky to get a rent equal to your mortgage repayments. The idea that you’d get twice it is just mental.

  4. Outside wall left unpainted says a lot. I remember going to see a place, it was fairly small but needed to be painted badly and there was just a lot of loose shelves and fittings. Didn’t look like anything major and probably a day or two job for a handyman to fix everything. 

    I asked the estate agent could that be done? Estate agent said truthfully the landlord doesn’t want to do anything to the place. Said that if he agreed to do viewings that is him saying the place is ready to move into. It wasn’t cheap but just felt like so shit that for 100 euro worth of paint, maybe 300-400 euro for a handyman for the day. It would represent a less than a week’s worth of rent to make someone feel good about moving into the place. 

  5. They left the fisheye camera on for the outside shot. Lest now we know the rooms are probably half the size the pictures appear to make them look.

  6. Has anyone noticed the crack under the windowsill or am I imagining it? Also, the plaster seems to be coming off the corner of the gable end. No curtains or blinds on the windows makers it look bleak and unwelcoming too.

  7. 4 grand a month in Ireland? I’ll give you 3 potatoes and half an ounce of respect, and I’m taking all the risk

  8. These people are vermin. Parasites on society. Cashing in on the housing crisis.

    They obviously think they’ll get 4 people prepared to pay a grand each for this .

  9. I’d say they advertise the gravel as an added security system to alert you of intruders!
