    Hi All,

    Starting planning to move out of home and buy/or build somewhere in the Cork City region.

    I'm wondering has anyone ever known anything or heard anything about buying two adjoining houses and turning them into a superhome?

    Curious on your thoughts?

    You would then have the best house on the street. Would it hold it's value?

    There was a thread on this before and the general consensus was that the net result was to vastly devalue both properties. So, say both are 300k the superhome isn't antwhere near worth 600k and is also very hard to sell on.

    Very possible subject to planning.
    Some examples in Dublin and the most high profile one, would be the one of the episode of Room to Improve.
