You say it’s a kip MT, and for sure it looks to be in a bit of a state, but at the same time it actually looks like it could be a lovely wee house and is also in a very good/desirebale Dublin 6 area.
I’m actually a bit surprised it’s “only” 480k TBH. (Although in fairness, I suppose there’s probably 50k+ work to do on it.)
And no matter how much work you do on it it doesn’t have a garden which is significant negative on value (and means that you’ve not option to extend it beyond the small 650sqft size that it is)… also I think that little street is across the road from the (small) corpo flat complex that’s in Ranelagh - that would have a negative impact on it’s value also - it’s not quite on a tree lined D4/6 avenue
While a house for sub-500k in Ranelagh certainly looks like a bargain (and in fairness probalbly is by recent standards) the property does have significant issues and there’s good reason why it’s cheap
It’s been done up and is now for sale at 650k! If they can find a buyer at that price then that’s a tidy profit I’m sure, unless it cost 200k to renovate?!?
