    Interesting Stone Cottage With All the Challenges on Picturesque Site of Over ½ Acre

    Long long time lurker on boards, just had to post on this thread. Some of the pictures on daft are just comedy gold. Number one though goes to the crying chair:

    That's gone up to 75k since you posted, demand must have skyrocketed when the boards.ie masses seen it. :pac:

    In all seriousness though, that's a nice reminder of the boom (was entered sep 2006).

    3 bedrooms :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Fukuyama


    Just been looking around on Daft a bit more and figured I'd take a looksee at Dublin's finest 'studio' apartments...

    FFS in all seriousness these things should be made illegal. Prisoners get better living conditions. Mold on the walls, the jacks door right beside you bed and the ability to open your 3rd hand 1980s gas oven WHILE IN BED!

    They're friggen tiny.... I can't imagine living in one.

    I think you'd just spend all day in the obligatory hard-back 'crying chair' they all seem to have wondering what you did to deserve THAT!!! :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭plein de force


    that place in the op gives me images of what fritzel's basement must have been like


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 265 ✭✭nosey rosie


    Meh... with the over-supply of flats now, you could give them away with a burger now, and no-one would want them :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Fukuyama


    If there's such an over supply, how the hell can landlords and letting agencies get away with charging such ridiculous prices. To be honest, a south Dublin home with three bedrooms isn't worth E1,200 a month. MAYBE 800 or so...

    I guess once people are willing to pay.... :mad:

    Its exactly why so many got screwed buying houses and are now in negative equity. Went in with their eyes closed, and now cry about it.

    There is still some awful sh1te out there.

    3 BEDROOMS!?

    If I thought I'd be able to make 30k "making that,"
    I'd have done it long ago.
    I've made more structurally sound things in Metalwork,
    And I gave that up in Junior Cert...
    Might take it up again..

    If daft could do one thing to improve their site it would be allowing comments to be made on properties. Then we could tell the owners how fúckin stupid they are being with their prices

    I mean like a public board. That would be fun and drive house prices down right there

    It would be good, but I just can't see it ever being done.

    Just wait until the sold prices* are released, then everyone will see just how silly many of the asking prices are.

    *If it ever gets done.

    That would be great. I always thought there should be message boards to warn people over rogue landlords and tenants too and give them a score, similar to sellers on eBay. Landlords who are decent (snigger :P) would get more business that way and problem landlords/tenants could be identified. It should be very similar to eBay which manages its feedback and scores very well without descending into silly mud-slinging.

    Daft should have a certain standard too. They do seem to allow properties which should be condemned to be advertised.

    Agreed. Such chancers should be outed in a public forum. Amazing some of the absolute dives some individuals expect others to live in and for not inconsiderable sums of money. Seems to be a pre-63 thing in Dublin, and there is very little legislation enforcing minimum standards in such properties. Surely in this day and age a shower/kitchen/livingroom/bedroom set-up should be illegal?! :confused:

    I believe that bedsits are soon to be outlawed, either this year or next!

    AFAIK its just those bedsits with shared bathroom facilities. Nothing on minimum square footage or shower in the livingroom/kitchen bull****; plus ca change.

    'The package will see a phasing-out of the traditional bedsits by insisting that each rental unit have its own sanitary facilities.'
