Beacon south quarter, optical illusions and porkies

[southofdub]

I came across this on neighbours.ie this morning

SPREAD THE WORD !

Dear all

On the 14th May LANDMARK DEVELOPMENTS are scheduling a private launch day for apartments in BSQ. I call upon everyone to send out the message to family friends and associates that this is a launch not to miss out on. Prices have been suitably adjusted to make these the best value units in town without question.

Simply send me the name and phone number of your contact and I will take care of the rest.

Our prices will be from €325k for a 1 bed (there are only a few of these) and from €365k for a 2 bed. Parking spaces are €23k. All have great views and many are dual aspect duplexes. Units sold on the 14th May will be further reduced by €10k as an incentive to purchase before the public launch the next day.

Get calling.

That is the beginning of the thread, this is the last post

Just a note to dispel all the recent doom and gloom about the fothcoming new launch and to raise the spirits again. The actual situation is as follows:-

The apartments and twin level homes on offer are once again at the cutting edge in terms of their specification and finish and include state of the art kitchens with all appliances, sumptuous fully tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating, extra large window areas for maximum solar gain, GFCH, downlighters throughout and pre wiring for home cinema, internet, broadband, digital TV and wiring for security alarm system. Balconies are a feature of many of the homes.

We will be accepting booking deposits for 30 apartments and twin level homes at the show homes in the Cubes 7 on Wednesday 14th May 4pm – 6pm.

Apartments and twin level homes will be available from region €390,000 - €750,000 and car parking will be an additional €23,000. A €10,000 discount will be available ONLY on this pre-launch day subject to the showing of this letter.

Should you wish to book an apartment an initial €5,000 booking deposit made payable to Landmark Enterprises Ltd. will be required, together with the name and address of your solicitor. This should be in cheque or draft form. Inevitably for such an eagerly awaited development reservations can only be accepted on a strictly first come, first served basis. On signing unconditional contracts, within 21 days, the balance to make up 10% of the purchase price will be required. The remainder of the purchase price is payable upon completion of the sale. Sale completions will be from June 2008 onwards. Please note that there is no stamp duty for owner occupiers.

So as you can see price levels are much the same as the last phase launched in March 2006.

Does anyone know what an “unconditional contract” is?

This is the optical illusion

Yes. Much bigger discounts will be available later.

Oh, I’ve not had such a good laugh in a long time. Well done SouthOfDublin.

Hi Aoifa
Thats interesting news to get on the day I collect my keys after a two year wait, makes my mortgage even scarier!

I suppose they would have to drop their prices at some stage - any idea which blocks the apartments are in? It seems like a good bargain for anyone buying at the moment!

Not the best news - I too am just after collecting my keys after a two year wait and considerably heftier purchase price! Put a bit of a dampner on things I have to say! Granted, the market has taken a dip but I was confident that our development was one of the few around Dublin that had held its value to some extent.

come on now, if Ireland isn’t indeed different then surely you can at least see that her development is

btw, agreed, muppetry of the highest calibre

If you look at picture 2 that southofdub has posted, you can see just how small the apartments are - look in the office by the doorway - there’s only three of four people in it, but they totally fill it. They’ve hardly any headroom.

Nurse, NURSE, it’s happening again.

[CelloPoint]

That fake frontage is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen. This market has really lost the plot altogether.

I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.

What else is this celtic-tiger-gone-mad going to throw at us?

I take it windows, walls and balconies are an optional extra at that price?

We’ve had a great old laugh at

• ‘The Grange’
• ‘Belmayne’

Time to add ‘Beacon South Quarter’ (or ‘BSQ’ for the more discerning pinster) to the list.

[markf909]

Damn, if only i’d have known about this as I left work.

I could waited for another Luas and jumped on the property ladder!
Damn, i’ve no doubt missed the boat on this golden opportunity.

As BB said, best laugh in ages.

[Longtermrenter]

Wow, that plastic covering says it all, that must a cost a packet to make and then put over the shoeboxes.

Have to say, the cubes are my idea of hell living - out in the middle of nowhere, piled on top of eachother and industrial estate traffic for fun in the mornings and evenings.

Horrific is the only word I can think of that accurately sums up industrial estate living at the edge of the M50.

Translation: there are windows and the sun shines through them.

They really must think we are all complete morons.

What would you feel like if this was yourself?
Maybe its a 100% Mort over 40 years at 10 times (Joint) salary

I’d hope that the kitchen (probably not included and purchased on a CC)
did not have a gas oven, i’d be to tempted to stick my head in it

Well hasnt the scramble by the gobsh1tes who “had to get on the ladder before we get left behind” proved that? I know a girl who paid €180k for an affordable housing 1 bed in tallaght, now there are 1 beds for €199k and she’s locked in for years before she can think about moving, all because she needed to get on the ladder

[magoko101]

That explains why you never see any lights on in these new complexes… n there was me thinking they were all empty.

Imagine the snag list on the bugger

[superpiper]

TOTW.

well done

I’m surprised they didn’t put fake “Sale agreed” stickers across all those fake windows!

[Sidewinder]

Brilliant work.

The perfect thread to show any friends you might have who are still in denial…

Thanks for the great pictures southofdub.

I love how georgep starts his post with

Turn that frown upside down, and get your f^%king wallets out you miserable shower.

Indeed, that’s exactly what it is. Ok, it’s not a smoke-belching-from-chimneys type of industrial estate, but it’s still an industrial estate. Next to a motorway.
