Things are genuinely getting worse. The estate agents are delighted to bring it to market I see. List of benefits:

Saw this pop up on twitter.

On the same property a detached house has been subdivided into apartments.

He has no planning permission for any of this, yet instead of complaining to the council, people just shake their heads and say, "Property market gone mad!"

You missed the best bit :

Do you like trucks ? Do you like GAA games ? Do you like random piles of rubble ?

Near the Luas lines so you can jump in front of one of them and end the misery

Prefab modular home can be easily extended for growing families ,
As much as its causing a bit of outrage others are building homes out of connex containers ,
Is it so bad ?

Lux23

At 1300 euro a month it is pretty bad.

LirW

Yes, there is no planning permission, no insulation, probably no safety certs or the like and in the current climate this is just thick chancery.
I'm all for good solutions if they are well thought through, but this is taking the piss.

Aaaand its gone....

Correction. Got a 404 but its back now.

Lovely shade of coral-green-blue, and just 45e per day, €15,600per annum, plus bills and 'other expenses' (obviously).

Why not just get a cheap lorry, buy one of these and stick this on the back then you can drive to work/shops/beach/park for free.

And this is the attitude that makes the likes of this crap acceptable.

Also the cheek of them to say they're delighted to bring this to market, what a joke.

Why is it not acceptable is anyone been forced to live there no ,is anyone been forced to view it no,

People spent decades living in worse bedsits but that was fine because people were happy to live in them.
We had people moaning about modular housing for similar reasons ,

If it's insulated and meets all requirements then what's the big fuss

The attitude of "its not so bad" is unacceptable as it allows this sort of carry on to become mainstream and acceptable.
1300/month for a box, cop on.

Bedsits were in actual houses.
This yoke is for builders drinking tae on their breaks.
I very much doubt it's insulated and meets all requirements.

Can you point me to some worse bedsits for €1300 per month?

K.Flyer

They have some neck and gall to call this an apartment, geez I must be now living in an "attached Villa" with outstanding scenic views of my neighbours gardens .
The owner is a chancer, but the shame is on the estate agent for even entertaining it.

Schools and businesses and hospitals for years only good enough for builders tea it's been proven otherwise,
Again if it's insulated and meets requirements whats the actual issue ,
My complaint would be the 1300 pm I've seen smaller granny flats in concerted garages and outbuildings

Schools- yes, I was farmed out to one aged 9, and it was bloody freezing.
Hospitals- I was familiar with the prefab units in James Connolly, but thankfully they've gotten rid of those also.I spent some time in unit 8, the heart unit, and it was fine, but that was because the heating was on full blast all the time.
A home is not a boxy ugly freezing prefab.
Planning permission exists for a reason, so little shanty towns don't start springing up all over the place. I agree that there should be solutions for people on low wages, HAP, anyone looking for housing- but in our climate pre-fabs of that ilk are not suitable for habitation.

My issue is that its €1,300 a month. My current HOUSE is less rent than that!

It's also on a commercial site.

I did security for a few weeks at christmas one year (2014 i think?) but it was chilly enough out. You'd be wearing a heavy jacket/hat on the walks. But i had one of these, perhaps slightly smaller (but still very big, about 30ft x 10ft if i had to guess). Anyway, the gist of my story is i was in it for a long time (12 hour shifts) and with a single plug in 2kw radiator, it was grand and warm.

So although i disagree that anyone should be putting it up for rent, or indeed charging 1300 for it, i do think it's a but of an overreaction to say you couldnt live in one. They'd be ideal for single people (at a fraction of the price, obviously).

The owner should stick it up on the airbnb, it would make a killing.

Pat Garvey shouldn't be delighted - he should be ashamed of himself.

New property?????

That's the correct one for the eircode given on the advert for the portacabin as well so it's probably on the same grounds. If you look carefully you can see it in the background on the very left of that photo.

Wonder was it a mistake or was there pictures of the inside as well?

The terrible reality is that the rental market has deemed it worth almost 50% of the average industrial wage, and so any discussion that identifies this place as a solution to the homeless crisis is immediately defunct. Because it's not even an option for them. Might as well be a foxrock 4 bed.

How on earth are people on minimum wage affording housing (after bills, food, and transport costs to/from work)?

the more i see things like this the more depressed i get about the country..... If you are a young person and all you can see on the horizon is a **** heap like this for half your wages would you really stay here long term....
This country (well main cities) is a real clusterfcuk when it comes to housing

I live below minimum wage renting in Dublin city centre. It involves house sharing, cooking nearly all my food, walking to work. No health care, savings, any kind of security. Obviously this isn't my long term situation so I am fine with it but yeah...

The rental market has been tampered with to such a painful amount, it is so tied up in knots it cannot function normally. No landlord wants to enter the market, because the risk is enormous, with very low return. Only pension funds (aka vultures) are buying up rental property, and it makes very little sense for them to rent them out. They make safer money holding them and waiting for the value to increase.

Once things become worth a landlords while, and developers even allowed to start building, then you'd see some improvement. If it ever becomes lucrative to provide this service for a reasonable amount of money, then everyone and their mother will want to do it.

(And we are nowhere near that point. Everything that's been brought in over the last few years has further booted the service providers -aka landlords- from the market. I've never seen anything as ridiculously planned as that ridiculous 4% cap. Talk about chasing more capacity out of the market... Head, meet Wall.)

I would like to see a heavier tax placed on residential properties which are not in use, and separately a tax break on rental income. The idea being to get the owners to renovate and rent, rather than leaving them sit empty. I'm just not sure how the tax bit would be effectively enforced. I guess it's easy to make a building look occupied.

I know of 3 houses in my area with so much potential that have sat empty for nearly 4 years. I even know lads that would happily move in and renovate as part of the rental agreement if the opportunity was given to them and costs were agreed but we don't even know who the owner is.
