  3. Looks like somebody invested a lot of time and money and has potentially lost their bollocks on it.

    Surely that’s a win for people who hate landlords.

  8. I don’t think this is making the point that OP thinks it’s making.

    This house was derelict and done up and then most likely no one wanted it.

    So what happens to all these derelict houses around Ireland that people want to spend millions doing up? Probably more of the same.

    Derelict houses are often derelict for a reason. Most likely no one wants to live there. Where I live, there’s plenty derelict houses but also several unoccupied rental houses. No one wants to live there and doing up some houses isn’t going to change that.

    Let’s just build new houses at scale where they’re needed.

  10. Was it renovated? Looks like they did a paint job, and just enough to stop it falling over that week.

  14. Ha Wilton just passed this earlier it actually just fits in with the landscape now you hardly notice it’s a house 😂

  18. It might be still vacant because someone was ask more than the house was worth or it’s in the but fuck of nowhere, but I would stick my first option they where looking for to much for the location.

  19. If there was a tax on unoccupied properties, that grew every year it remained unoccupied, this would not happen. It would done up and made habitable or it would be flipped.
    This case is interesting because there are thousands of similar cases all over the country
