4-bed detached houses, 1800sq ft -- €80,000 ono

Location may not be the best (Keenagh, Co Longford), but it's a lot of house for the money. There are 4 of them in it.

I wouldn't pay more then a €10 for that!

Nedved85 · 09-06-2011 4:39pm

The lights beside the door aren't fitted, just saying

paddyp · 09-06-2011 4:42pm

Keenaghs not bad as longford goes you'd have to paint over the knickerbocker pink though.

I'd say the low price is because the bank won't give anyone the money.

[edit]actually that could be cotswold cream the whitebalance is pretty bad in the photo estate agents really need to learn to use picasa or photoshop[/edit]

TheDriver · 09-06-2011 4:44pm

its not that banks won't give the money, its the fact you'd probably never be able to sell it!

Which is why they won't give you the money, no rental prospects and no chance to sell. Bank gave my buddy 50k more for a house in Cork City than they refused him for a house out near Mallow. They know that if push comes to shove then can offload the place in Cork City.

Looks like Mr. Blobby.

n97 mini · 09-06-2011 6:52pm

Been looking at these and not sure there's anything to do around Keenagh so they may not even be suitable as holiday homes.

You could flip it next year for €20 - double your money:D

Just like the good oul days.

BIG HOUSE tiny windows

Onikage · 09-06-2011 7:54pm

Well you have to buy 4 houses plus one site, so it's €400,000 for the lot. Reminds me a bit of monopoly too!

yoshytoshy · 09-06-2011 8:43pm

Does it have a train service ?

a what?

Pyridine · 09-06-2011 9:45pm

But there's HUGE opportunity to make a killing here. I mean you have this for 80 grand and you could sell it for this much in a few months!!!

Maybe not as much obviously as the more expensive house is in the "Keenagh 4" area, much closer to the heart of..emm, town.

No. It is a ten minute drive to the nearest station.

Badgermonkey · 09-06-2011 9:57pm

Looks like Fr.Teds house with a mask on.

Mr E · 09-06-2011 10:01pm

Is it bad that I had to zoom out 8 times on the map to see whereabouts in the country the flippin' house was?

Rowley Birkin QC · 09-06-2011 10:14pm

Cheers OP, just ordered 2.

It might be worth my while. If I buy 4 of these houses, can I swap them for a hotel (as in a game of Monopoly).

If it's a killing you are after, what about this?

http://www.property.ie/property-for-sale/Apartment-30-Spencers-Court-Summerhill-Road-Enniscorthy-Co-Wexford/597103/

30K for a 2 bed apartment? If I had the money, I would take it. Sure that's a personal loan rather than a mortgage! You could get 500 a month rent for it...

thats only reserve. if you can get 500a month rent for it then it will sell for a lot more than 30k. 500a month is a 20% rental yield if it costs 30k.

Wishful thinking. Nearest station is in the middle of traffic-choked Longford town.

listermint · 10-06-2011 7:34am

look at the contact name

Contact Name: Eddie Moran BSc (Hons) MIAVI AssocRICS

I never understand why people actively put that ****e after their name. especially in an ad like come on...

dell1211 · 10-06-2011 7:45am

Tabnabs · 10-06-2011 8:33am

They had me until they said

This is a first class development of large detached houses

80k = first class

I'd hate to see cattle class... :eek:

Did you get a confirmation email? I ordered 42 and they're still showing as 'processing', do you think they'll ship.. etc.

Would you feel like you were getting a better house if you were paying €250k? I'm sure they'd be happy to take your money.

Soarer · 10-06-2011 9:24am

Just checked there, and it's only a three and a half hour commute to Cork!

Frickin' sign me up!

paddydriver · 10-06-2011 12:10pm

Big Mickey's furniture shop is likely close by too so your sorted for furniture - and even faster delivery

Dravokivich · 10-06-2011 12:20pm

This is obviously a missprice lads. Doubt the vendor will match it.

:mad:

biebiebie · 10-06-2011 3:29pm

Does anyone have a promo code for this offer then?

Are they in a flood plain?

n97 mini · 11-06-2011 12:50pm

No, I think they're just in a part of the country where there's no demand.

Found this article in the local paper. Some poor woman bought a 4-bed in a ghost estate in Keenagh called Clough Dillons for €200,000:eek:

Longford Leader: Voices from the Ghost Estates

Looking at the map these houses for €80k are bigger, closer to the village, so God knows what her house is worth now! :eek:

iColdFusion · 11-06-2011 1:08pm

Surely at a minimum they should be giving alot more construction details, like is it timber frame, insulation thicknesses, double glazed windows, oil/gas heating, BER rating etc all seem like basic things to me but then again I don't have loads of letters after my name :rolleyes:

freshfruit · 24-06-2011 3:22pm

That deal is surely a lot better than this one:

tinofapples · 24-06-2011 8:09pm

Hows about this one which i spotted in the Galway Advertiser today:

Sites alone in Turloughmore where well in excess of 100k before the bubble EXPLODED. Pretty sure there's a sad story behind this but could be a steal.
