Would suit reclusive axe murderer judging by pic 14, or is that in case you get panicked by all the cheap pine and maple.

20 Coldwell Street, Glasthule, Co. Dublin

1 bed artisan terraced cottage with kitchen in a corridor and tiny rear courtyard accessed via the bathroom.

A whole 32sq.m

Asking 345k

Glasthule's a nice spot and all but ffs.

I love the whole paragraph describing the local schools, as if this is a potential family home.

Luxury! I know those houses -- they were built around the turn of the 20th c. without bathrooms or inside toilets, that's an addition. The "storage shed plumbed for washing machine" would once have been the outside loo. As for it being a family home, believe it or not I know of families of ten that grew up in those houses in the days before indoor plumbing.

Or for 345k you could get a 47 sq m apartment in leafy Dublin 4, a short stroll from Stephens Green

Asking price reduced to 319k.
This must be the first sign of the crash!

On view tomorrow if you're bored ... and thin.

€1,695,000 for 119m2 = €14,200 per m2. That is getting back to the CT high point for a pretty bland house with no garden or privacy to speak of down a slightly iffy lane-way.

EDIT:

Looks like it has appeared before:

€895,000 - 3 Bed Detached House 103 m² / 1109 ft² For Sale
http://oldwww.myhome.ie/residential/bro ... -4/3721526

Bought for €460,500 on 23/07/2013 and got planning to demolish it, and now expect buyers to pay 900k for the pleasure of knocking it!

Nice 94% increase if they can get it.

[Also expect we're going to see a lot of oldwww.myhome.ie links going forward, and very few http://www.myhome.ie ones :lol:

My father grew up in a house like that. Nine of them altogether, two bedrooms, a small sitting room, a kitchenette and outdoor loo. They used to wash themselves using a hand basin and a face clothe.

' a blank canvas '

Uh, isn't a blank canvas supposed to be ready to paint on? Looks like it needs lots of work to bring it to blank canvas status, on top of the €1k for each of its miniscule 330 sq ft. When they say "an opportunity not to be missed", do they mean "here, catch this falling knife"?
:sick:

That's really sad!
Just imagine being saddled with a mortgage of about 680pm on that tiny hovel for the next 40 years.

Where are you getting €680/mo from?
Cheapest rates are around 2.5% which would cost you €990/mo over 40 years assuming 90% mortgage.
More realistically if we assume rates will average 4%, you take a 25 year term so you don't have to work into old age, and Luan is right about the 30% increase ... then you're looking at €2k/mo for that piece of crap.

I based it on my tracker rate :oops:

, but yes 2K would be more realistic and scary when you realise that you've sent youself up for 25 years, Mountjoy isn't that far away either.
