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.

My friend had a house once, it was shaped in a circle.

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

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?!

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.'

Maybe one of the kids wanted a Goldilocks and the Three Bears theme for their bedroom.

I don't understand that ad. What does 'living room share' even mean?
It appears from the pictures that this guy (Les?) is camping out on a mattress in the living room. Very strange indeed. Best avoided people!

Larianne · 09-02-2011 5:02pm

OMG, the place in the OP has been let! :eek:

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night locked and in swift need of the toilet? :eek:

AnonoBoy · 09-02-2011 5:58pm

Some of these places would be worth more if the house was levelled and they just sold off the land.

Ugh.

Middle picture above the bed...

some random drunk · 10-02-2011 11:23pm

Picture 3. You could move in, lie down on the bed, and ponder how the stains on the walls were created.

www.daft.ie/2776726

Picture1. Tv stand used as a kitchen table:D Also why bother with a double bed when you can just push 2 single ones together?
Also Picture 5 - whats this supposed to represent? The fact that you can easily spy on your neighbours??

This House came to my attention by a friend. One Bedroom and 1 Bathroom. Price €10,000. It has got electricity. It needs a little work suitable for a DIYer. Not much needed.

Out of curiosity with the collapse in the property market is there a cheaper one out there in Ireland?

antodeco · 02-03-2011 12:04pm

Im sorry, but that looks like the public toilets you see in any town in Ireland...

/sends email

Daegerty · 02-03-2011 12:06pm

It's been mentioned here before.

I'm tempted to offer him 7k for it, only that I don't have 7k. I think who ever buys that is going to knock it and rebuild. I'm curious to know how much land is with it

Caoimhín · 02-03-2011 12:11pm

I wouldnt live in that if you paid me €10,000

Spudmonkey · 02-03-2011 12:12pm

Still overvalued by about €9,900.....

Ah crap. I took out the money and all. Ill lodge it back into the account so

Jet Black · 02-03-2011 12:14pm

I'd say about 5 years ago there was people who'd pay quarter of a mill for it. For ten grand thou its doesn't look bad. Nice little safehouse.

AnonoBoy · 02-03-2011 12:18pm

Memories of my first sexual experience just came flooding back.

Behind the back of the toilets on the green getting a handjob from Imelda.

DarkJager · 02-03-2011 12:19pm

Is the picture just at an angle, or is that house actually slanting off to the right?

It would have sold for €3 million about 3 years ago

Haha that is classic. That shaq is right beside my parents house. While the people are lovely, you couldn't pay me to move to Carrigkerry, theres nothing there.

A friend of mines older brother was in a similar situation at the teenage disco. But when he dropped his trousers the poor girl burst into tears.

Since then he has always been called "The Onion"

Could have been worse, at least it wasn't "The Acorn"

-Corkie- · 02-03-2011 12:44pm

What a dump. The only DIY you would do on that is with a digger and flatten it.

the purple tin · 02-03-2011 1:00pm

It looks like an old electricity sub-station.
I think the owner would have more luck if he demolished it and just put the land up for sale instead.

xzanti · 02-03-2011 1:03pm

That's more a chalet than a house..

Either way it's fit to be burnt..

It is in a bog. I would not be surprise if it at an angle.

You overprice it by €100. It costs you more to knock it.

It looks like it is concrete or blocks. Very little timber to burn as it look rotten. The Glass seems to be holding it up. There is more timber on the ESB pole beside it.

I am trying to find it google earth street view.

eco2live · 02-03-2011 7:40pm

Just goes to show you the great job our planners are doing granting planning permission to this pile of ****e. A marvel of modern architecture

mickdw · 02-03-2011 7:41pm

If it came with a septic tank, ESB, water connection and a reasonable size site, it might be worth a few quid. Ive a feeling the site probably consists of the area of the building plus its footpath.
