I notice you have to open the kitchen door outwards to get in

Are you planning on renting as is or redecorating?

Would you get it for that price . What does the propertypriceregister.ie say on prices locally ?

You will still have some work to do

If trying to work out rent to pay mortgage don't forget to factor in tax liabilities, usc etc. They can swallow up a large portion of rental income

Anybody know this area ? Thanks

I think you would rent that house all day long. I have one close by and I have it on a long term lease with council.

Decent area and a good variety of tenants.

OPs house may not reach council standards in it's current state and op is not planning on doing anything with it.

Op you could not rent that house "as is"
Even the estate agent says it needs modernisation, and they are usually pretty economical with the truth.
The one bedroom shown in the advert needs a fair bit of work, new blinds/ curtains, and a good plaster and paint job. If its the one photographed, it must be the better bedroom.
Modernisation would include insulation and most likely wiring, and with 2 open fireplaces and a ber rating of F, you are likely talking about upgrading the heating system and the windows and doors .

To answer the OPs question it's not a bad area, not the best. Some will be put off, others will be attracted to the place.

To add though you'll need to do some work on it.

Area is good for rentals. But there is no way you could rent it as is

Wouldnt cost you a whole lot to get that in rentable condition.

No offence but I wouldn't put a dog in that place as is. It obviously needs serious work.
