Another one I’ve noticed falling through is Beechwood House, The Orchard, Kingston, Galway City.
Again, a very good property (although the back garden is very small) in a very nice estate, asking over 700,000 (which, in itself, is unusual nowadays for Galway).
Went sale agreed.
A few weeks later, all trace of the property unusually vanished off Daft.ie and, around the same time, an application went into Galway City Council for retention of its multiple planning infractions. Retention was refused. The lastest in the saga is that, I think, an attempt is being made to lower the height of the roof in order to comply with the original planning permission issued.
They want more than 3/4 of a million euro for that place and 9 out of the 13 photos are of the garden??? Not a single photo of the bathrooms or kitchen. I can understand that they may not want people being a sticky beak and looking at their house online, but that’s what you have to expect when selling. That, or the other parts of the house are in truly bad condition.
The daily list of properties falling through on MyHome in Dublin is now available at salesporn.net/reports/deltas.html. The column you’ll be interested in is “Sale Agreed to For Sale”.
It did. Nothing funny in this case - moved in but they now need to move out of Galway. It is an interesting one to watch alright. Failed to sell at auction when asking €495k, not sure what it went for but probably a bit less than that. If it goes for anything less than €500k I’d consider it a price drop as there was work done after it was bought.
Appears expensive when compared to No.44(no attic conversion though) which was asking €375k and I believe closed at approx €310k earlier this year. See stamp duty calculator showing previous aksing price at: myhome.ie/residential/brochu … -3/1372317.
