Heres the deal:

2800 ordinary shares @ 250euro each = 700k

It's listed for 695k, was 1.3m not long ago, includes a tennis court and would probably go for less. Drum up more investors....

I was thinking a kind of retreat/festival/youth hostel/campsite kind of thing. It would be great for boardsies, you could organise weekends on the nights out, organise busses from Dublin.

How many threads can one property ad generate?

i get a room in a turret that i get to lean out the window with a shotgun

mikemac

You forgot the most important part

How many acres of grassland?
I didn't see that on the ad, maybe I missed it

I was on for investing until you mentioned that bit.:D

ah its only 10 acres, might have to leave out the festival part. Would be good money to rent it to couples getting married though!

Absurdum

No offence guys 'n' gals, but I ain't sharing with 2799 of you morons

I'm in! There could be endless possibilities there!:D

You're already offering them more than it's listed price? This isn't for me, best of luck with it, you're a great guy but sadly, I'm out.

gonedrinking

I'm in but I don't want festivals to be held there, why would I want a bunch of stinking students pissing all over my pristine estate

Solicitor fees etc.

That's 560 people per bathroom - the shower rota would be a nightmare - everyone gets only 2.5 minutes in the bathroom per day!

The first Dragon leaves the den, Dub Shanes still feels pretty optimistic however with 7-2 currently interested

What will you do about the locals Dub Shane?

cenvuza7fg9kx5

What about the locals?

I'm sure they'd like the extra revenue from tourists, visitors etc.

How much for the extraordinary shares - the ones that let us hunt & shoot the ordinary folks?

It wasn't me!

Personally I'm more interested in this one. And no, not sharing.

Quite useful in Spain right now, for protecting yourself from rioting peasants looking for jobs.

We won't all be there at once, you can come and go as you please. It'll be a spot where we can kick it, where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick sh1t.

It'll also be a place where we can draw up plans for a new political party, it will be Irelands first right wing political party.

How about 10 people at 69,500 each , then i,m in

Afaik you can't just buy a property with loads of people like that. Tried it years ago and the legal paperwork fell through. No shares either because it's a private residential property not a company.

WoollyRedHat

What happens when the rowdy type start bringing their equally rowdy train and somebody ends up getting mad.

Not even remotely true, your solicitor must have been a bit thick.
Set up company, company issues shares, people buy shares and give money to company, company purchases the property pays the stamp legals etc.
Its actually quite simple.
Only issue is choosing the directors and the board!!!


Oh and I'm out too!!!:p

ilovesleep

Im the princess, ok.

Does this place have a dungeon? Serious question. I want to know

Ficheall

I'm in.

What's the deal with insurance, rates, upkeep, etc though?

Alter-Ego

I'm in, but imagine having to get 2799 keys cut. And that's just for the front door.

Also, who's name is going on the ESB bill?

martic

Will the 200 euro property tax for owning a second home be split between the 2800 people as in 0.07 each or will it just be the people that own a house already have to pay it. These are the answers I need before I commit to the deal.

SparkyTech

I call dibs on the living room

not a slightest chance that i would invest a single cent along with hundreds of other people.

2800 owners would argue and debate on every single occasion, it simply wouldn't work and probably end with at least one murder.

Fantastic, then we can have a thrilling whodunnit murder mystery on our hands. Was it the farmer with a shovel or the banker with a briefcase?
I'm lilking this idea more and more

I think for an extra few hundred there should be a national express that can transport people to and from the castle throughout the country

We also need a moat and a drawbridge to complete the castle look, these are issues that can be agreed on unaminously later on though.

greenet

Real life cluedo! That would bring the tourists in ..pay for the up keep!

WoollyRedHat

Exactly, an ever evolving one as well " Now with twice the murder and double the gore"

Guess who's coming to the dinner would be another possiblity,
or more likely guess who's cooking

Sgt.Peppers

hahah great idea

We'll need cleaners to pick up all the empty beer bottles and stubbed out joints, so theres a job going there if you want it.

You could start a thread each time there's a disagreement and stick a poll on it. Communal dwelling democracy AH style.

cenvuza7fg9kx5

I was thinking we would elect a committee, a president and then advisors. Theres bound to be lots of unemployed graduates on boards, legal, business etc.

We would have part of the committee organising events, legal team, business team, marketing and accounts, all democratically elected by investors.

Events would have to be booked with a limited number of people invited paying say 10euro per head. So if you had 100 people attending on 1 day, you would have 1000euro to pay the bills etc.

You don't need a castle for that, just pm me!!!

TheBucks

sounds like a plan...is there a drawbridge? If there is you could simply get there first, drop the drawbridge and laugh at all the suckers!!!
