No offense to shankill but I wouldn’t live there for free never mind half a million
Jeezus, over half a mill for 100ish sqm 3 bed.
Very affordable
Was actually looking at this when i started I think the estimate for the 3 beds was originally 535k before the inflation crisis.
Currently construction costs are approximately 250 sqft plus cost of site. They’re expensive but with cost of concrete set to increase by 10% and the baked in cost increases due to Covid houses are only going to keep increasing.
The only variable is site cost. Labour and materials are fixed.
Fucking Shankill, I think not.
What’s the difference between 3bed study and 4bed
Awesome! I want to live in a generic box like everyone else! Reminds me of 1970s Moscow or East Germany
I read the first price as €55K and thought. Hey that’s a nice price!.. Whoops
Maybe I’m ignorant but are new builds worth it? They don’t seem to look new for very long plus you don’t know where the builders cut corners. I know they’re better insulated but wouldn’t you be better off upgrading a slightly older house?
40mins from Dublin lands you in wexford. North wexford where 3bed new build is less than 400k. Same size, better quality of life and less than an hr commute if needs be.
New builds with no architecture or charm. I’m sure they have good BER ratings, but there’s not a bay window, nor a private driveway, no oriels or arches, no symmetry or decorative embellishments. Boring style that will not age well. Plus, for your €700k you are living cheek to jowl with neighbours with cars parked directly outside your one front window downstairs.
Nearly a million for a 5 bed house in fucking Shankill 🤣🤣
They’re building a few houses in my estate in rural Cork (1 hour drive / no bus / no train).
From what I’ve seen, they want to sell them for around 285k.
They’re made of something that looks like super light hollow lego blocks that they fill in with a little concrete once the structure is assembled. It might be revolutionary and has more benefits that concrete blocks, but the walls are incredibly thin and they look super flimsy.
They’re all also different shapes and sizes, with different windows and doors. They’re an eyesore.
I wonder will they ever be able to sell them, especially for that price and considering that there is f*ck all around this area.
Those figures works out to be in the range 4300-5200€/m². It would be interesting to see how these compare over the past years and across the state.
Shankill is a great village
Direct tax on that price is c.165-270k per hosue !!!
I lived in Shankill for a while, didn’t rate it. Found it very boring and sleepy with not much to do unless you want to go to Brady’s or do a heap of drugs in someone’s house every weekend. An hour on the bus into town, that journey killed me at times or the dart, not much quicker. Night out meant a €40/50 taxi home. Found many of locals live there all their lives and don’t leave, they were friendly with me as my partner is from there but once he moved away and lived in other areas of Dublin he got what I meant about Shankill and how much of a hassle it is to live.
The higher prices are a bit mad, but the 3 beds are how I would expect them in the current market ?
Who the fuck is earning enough to afford these houses? You’d need a couple likely bringing around €150K per year each to afford the more expensive houses.
5 bed attached house in an estate 880k
Fuck me.
You can get a quite a nice end terrace 2bed house in Belfast’s Shankill for £55k.
Needless to say the area is something to be desired…
If you wanted the most expensive one you’d have to have an €83k deposit and an income of €213,428 per annum to be approved for the mortgage of €747,000. Seems reasonable.
I wouldn’t mind but these houses aren’t even in Shankill, they’re directly across the road from St. Brendan’s College Bray.
I lived in a 4 bed boxy newbuild like these. You have to like your neighbours. Zero privacy. Everyone on top of one another. Cars parked everywhere and right outside your windows. Just horrible. No character or charm.
I’m so fucked it’s ridiculous. I did everything you’re supposed to do, went to college, even did erasmus in Spain for a year learned a second language completed my degree got a job in Insurance working as an underwriter and absolutely all that effort means fuck all. Might just go back to Valencia and rent an apartment at least you could be hopeless in the sun
Y’all good over there?
Had a load of people in my school from there and I cant see why somone would even think of moving there for that much
I’m from Shankill and this is exactly why I don’t live there anymore. Wasn’t even able to afford a one bed ex council house, that didn’t need a load of work done. Got a brand new 3 bed in Wexford for the fraction or what they’re charging here.
