When I was young, people who dealt in proprty were auctioneers & valuers. During the Tiger, they were "estate agents". Now they're all "property consultants".

Amongst the main features listed is - "Hallway: Light fitting"

Also:
- All light fittings included
- All blinds included
- All kitchen appliances included

Surely this is a bad thing as you'll have to rent a skip to get rid of them.

How could you sleep in the same bedroom, knowing it happened there? :eek:

would the vendor be Joe O'Reilly himself, I wonder? Or is it his dead wife's estate now?

Wouldn't bother me to be honest. You never really know what's gone on in a house over the years.

I know what you mean and do understand where people are coming from. That said I'd hate to think about all the dodgy stuff that has gone on in a house over the years. I know with this one you know specifically.

Hence the good price!

There's a house near me where a woman and child were taken out of it and killed. Awful. The whole area is immensely effected by it still and the house was let go to rack and ruin until a young couple with kids bought it, did it up and made it their own. I can honestly say that the loving feeling in that house now (they actually moved on and another young family bought it since) is amazing and both families knew the history.

I don't believe in spirits personally, and can't quite get with places "having memories/left over presences" thing...but I have been in other homes where I couldn't pinpoint my uncomfortable feeling. Not that house though. I reckon if you can walk in somewhere and knowing what you know about it, still make it your own, then it can't be a bad place. There's many bad people, but I don't think there's as many bad places.

My aunt lives in flats that used to be a mental hospital. No vibe there either, for me anyway....
There must be lots of homes where awful stuff went on in the past, but like another poster said, the house didn't do it.

A practical person wouldn't (didn't) care. Loads of people have probably died in your bedroom, maybe even a good few births.

Knowing the stink of stale human blood, I can guarantee you got no action while you lived there.

Unless someone came in to my bedroom to die while I was on holiday, you're wrong on the second count. A couple of babies were made in there though. :pac:

Practicality around the house means: replacing shingles, preferring potted plants over cut bouquets, and using that spare bit of land for keeping bees or vegetables.

Not 'retaining the human-blood-spattered wallpaper of a murder scene', choosing to pocket the redecoration fund.

€125k for a roomy 3 bedroom house with surrounding gardens in close proximity to Dublin?

I'd happily take that, murder or no murder.

haha, all the 'tough' people on the internet again. go on, buy joeys' house and live in it.:)

and to the above, from my point of view it's a difference having own diffuse imaginations what could have happened in a house than to to know in detail what really happened. And you can know in detail what happened, I just read it up on the internet.

tara73 · 31-03-2015 7:00pm

another thing for all the people who would have no worries to move into good ol' joeys' house:
he's still alive and someday he might be out of prison. who knows, something might be flipping in his head again, he wants his house back, imagines you'll never paid or sth. and he's standing in front of your bed in the middle of the night with his tumbbell (apparently that thing was never found...!!!:eek:) beating the sh** out of you.

but yeah, no worries at all to live in it....:)

What if you had weirdos driving by and scoping the place out because of what happened there? Seemingly the residents of Kerrymount Close have noticed a lot of people doing this.

just coming to my mind, it's strange that the house (o'reillys') wasn't vandalised in all this time, or did somebody live in it until now? strange.

A fair number of mental asylums were converted into old folks homes in the UK and many of the residents who were unable to live independently any more remembered only too well the history of the places and felt ashamed to be there.

beyondbelief67 · 31-03-2015 7:58pm

The ladies family are hoping whoever buys the house will demolish it and rebuild, and her mother hopes the buyer will bless the place as soon as they buy it too.

Okay even I'd fooking redecorate!

Smidge · 01-04-2015 1:16am

I have to say I genuinely dont see the problem with buying that house.
What happened in it was undeniably a terrible thing but as other posters have said, the bricks and mortar didnt do it. Its not The Amityville.
A person committed the crime, not the house.
I think its a great buy for a young family starting out with a reasonable mortgage.

The missus and myself live close enough to Naul. We were out driving around at the weekend (it's scenic) and spotted a house for sale. Just out of curiosity we looked it up on Daft there and then and sure enough it was mega money. I noticed another listing for €125,000, put the address into the GPS and we went along to have a look.
We were blown away by the view, it's absolutely stunning. The house was a good size, separate garage, decking and a large garden. She was bowled over and ordered me to ring the estate agent straight away. Straight off the bat he said he wanted to be transparent and mentioned that there was an incident there in 2004. I thought that was odd for him to say, thought about it for a second and asked him 'Was it a murder?' which he confirmed.

Googled the area + 2004 and sure enough it was the O'Reily house. The missus and I had no idea about the house as we only moved to the general area in 2011 but the estate agent was straight up.

She's gone off the idea now but if someone can get past what happened there, they'll have a stunning home. The view is amazing from the road and it's in a quiet enough location- it'd make a wonderful family home.
