    Hi All,
    We have being looking at a house priced at €85,000, auctioneer has told us that it is a NAMA property.
    The house is un-finished inside.
    How much should we offer.?
    House is idle for 4 year as was new build and never finished.
    We have been approved for mortgage & are ready to go but want to get it at the right price.
    Thanks.

    Really depends on location, property type, likely demand from other potential buyers, whether its in a 'ghost estate' etc etc etc.

    Note- if the estate is classified as a 'ghost estate'- you will have severe issues getting a bank/lender to lend towards a mortgage on it.

    Did the Estate Agent give any indication of what offer would secure the property ?
    We looked at a NAMA property last year , same situation as yourselves, new house, 4 years built,unfinished etc but not in a ghost estate. EA said bank wouldn't accept anything less than asking price (also €85k) and told us that offers just short of the asking price had been rejected.
    I suppose where you go from here depends on the value of the house to you, it's location , if it ticks your boxes etc . How does the price compare( allowing for finish off cost) with other similar size properties in the area ?
    Good luck whatever decision you reach!

    Unfortunately- with these property sellers- the asking price is the selling price- and while the property may be on the market for years, before it gets its 'price'- it will get it eventually.

    Are you willing to pay the asking?

    The house is in a ghost estate, there is only 6 houses in estate built, 11 more to be built but will not be built until things pick up in the housing market. There are only 2 properties being lived in, other 4 are still not sold..
    regarding inside of house, the only thing done is plastering, 2nd fixing,(no floors) and has bathroom units but not tiled etc, no kitchen, no boiler or oil tank or copper cylinder. also windows in front of house are broke, but auctioneer has told us that these would be fixed.
    We would be doing a majority of the work ourselves, but just wondering has any one got any ideas of what price to offer?
    Thanks
