To be fair though. 1/10th of a bottle of liquid soap for free. And the towel matches the tiles.

And the entertainment center is pretty state of the art..

Holy moly, the 'living room' is UNDER THE BED! New lows here...! Some (really) young student will find that amazing, his own little den in the bottom bunk, lol.

There are a lot of big, old houses round that area 3 and 4 storeys that are all converted into 'flats'.

you could hang the sheets off the top bunk and have a fort

better than the one where the kitchen was under the bed i suppose...

Photo no.7 freaks me out BIG time.

Thats like something out of resident evil! It doesnt state the price. Maybe it a if you live through your first night you get to live there for free sort of deal.

By the way love this thread. Currently looking for apartment and nice to know I have these type of properties as a fall back!

That one in particular is really really depressing.

The chair facing the wall with the table / tray tacked onto the wall is actually just in front of the bunk bed where the bottom bunk has been taken out and replaced with an arm chair.

Wow.

I think we have a winner for the most depressing, Irish people should be banned from furnishing flats, suicide inducing, no wonder so many Irish people drink to excess, kill me now flat.

That modification of the bunk bed, where you have to step over the wood that used to hold the second mattress to get to the armchair is just... I don't have the words.

The shelf tacked onto the wall.... I can just imagine the landlord saying to a previous tenant "You want a desk to study on? Sure, dont mind Eye-key-ah, I'll install a grand wee desk for you, and I'll only charge you a few quid extra for it"

I wonder did they glue the dryer to the wall or something, because my washing machine edges forwards a few millimetres after a few cycles. If it was on top of something it wouldn't be long toppling off.

The worst thing about it is its not all that cheap! Something like that would suit a factory worker who cant find 5 people to share with. If it was in Dublin City centre you might get a student in there for €200 per month!

If it was in Dublin city centre 200 a month would be a bargain. Try more like 400.

A friend of mine lived in a place in D4, close to the luas, close to the dart, 350 a month. It had seen better days(in the seventies), but all in all it was cosy enough, apart from the fact that the bathroom and toilet were shared with another flat. So when he went for a shower, he had to bring with him, his shampoo, shower gel, towel, and keys, to unlock his 'front' door.

17-09-2012 1:42pm

Some of these are just criminal

I feel like evicting the dog from his gaff/kennel and sittin an aul crying chair and a bed in it, would be better than some of these holes.

Do any of you here ever feel like phoning the 'agent' and bollocking them out of it for selling hovels?? I know I do. havent done it though. Yet...

Good man Dr Bollocko for saving the pics

This shelf is hilariously grim. Imagine the tenant coming home each night and having his dinner facing the wall? It is like some movie about convicts being reintroduced to society.

Was going to have a look at this last week. Figured it was going to be sort of **** but I'm only going to be living in Cork for 3 months so I figured it might be worth a look.

The whole road is like a bombsite though. Cans and refuse scattered all over the place. I counted 31 satellite dishes on 18 houses. Didn't feel particularly safe around there on my own at 1pm nevermind 1am. Googled the st. and pretty sure someone died in a house fire there in July so there's another reason to avoid it.

You have to love the microwave on the kitchen chair.

Thats got to be the worst one yet. The third picture "study/dining area". Its barely deep enough for the plate or the book that you'd be studying/dining with. And the armchair IN the bunkbed. Thats apalling. And they have a washer AND dryer!

And my mum actually did chew out an estate agent once... we viewed a place with an old cast iron bathtub that was corroding and a load of damp on the walls. We were told they would paint over the mould. She's not one to shy away from a good argument with an EA... and promptly tore strips off her! The EA responded by wishing her the best of luck and that she wont get anything in the area of that quality for that price.

Ended up getting a two bedroom one of these

http://www.property.ie/new-homes/Fortfield-Square-Fortfield-Square-Terenure-Dublin-6/14422/

for the same price

You don't really think that those places really come with an expensive crying chair like that. :eek:

The Landlords Association share the chair amongst each other's properties for when the Estate Agents come round to photograph them. It makes all the dives look cosier.

theholyghost · 17-09-2012 2:13pm

Just discovered this thread and having looked at about 3 properties on offer I am genuinely depressed.

I vow henceforth to do whatever is needed to always have a decent place to live. I'm going to study hard, very hard with this motivation.

I didn't mean the chair looks familiar, I meant the layout. Bed -> crying chair -> oven. I am sure I have seen that once on this thread already.

I like the idea of sleeping in my kitchen...

Too warm during the summer? Open the fridge door - instant air con!
Too cold during the winter? Open the oven door - no need for your fancy fire places!

Still too cold during the winder - jam your entire head into the oven, from the comfort of your bed, let your troubles drift away!

See, this thread is a Public Service Thread.

(should come with a health warning )

theholyghost · 17-09-2012 2:24pm

Maybe we could start a club where we go around to view these properties just to waste the time of the twisted sadists responsible. I'd only be prepared to do this as a duo or a trio though given the murder scene-esque nature of what's on offer.

They remind me of a terrifying place I once rented for a week in Germany, I was too disturbed by it at the time to take photographs, I paid my rent, had a look around and ran out to a hotel.

I agree, they should show this thread to kids who are thinking of dropping out of school or aren't working hard enough during their Leaving Cert!

Some of them deserve a call to the style police. That said, if that is a demonstration of their attention to detail, you would wonder about more pressing things like regular boiler services, what the state of the electrics are like, are the plug sockets 3-pin or are they using the old ancient kind, was the place checked for radon in this century etc.

Its amazing how a small 2 ring electric hob translates to "Fully equipped kitchen".

I think the only qualification you need to be an estate agent is a certificate in creative writing.
