Our builders won't be going anywhere this time around and there'll be many returning. I think the skilled labour shortage that helped drive up the cost of building is about to come down.

I think its going to be a lot more tax- but I also think its going to be a broadening of the tax base- everyone is going to pay-............... The incoming government is going to have to make a lot of very unpalatable decisions that they are not going to be thanked for.

The_Conductor wrote: » €2,250,000? Good luck to them- they are very high spec'ed- but while a design like this might (just maybe) work as a one-off- a couple of these together detract from one another. I think its an unusual ask to try and sell these for top dollar- they just don't work as a group development- to say nothing about the completely outrageous price. Unless you can find a complete D4 head with more money than sense- who *has* to have one- these are not going to shift. Even people who might like to live in Blackrock- won't see the sense in the completely over the top price of these.

If you feel uncomfortable about doing that, get friend/family to do it and be patient, use a stalled market to your advantage Has the asking price reduced? Nope no change in the asking price. I guess they cant publicly drop it because people have already paid the advised market rate for the 100 odd houses already sold in the development.

No point playing hardball if you won't walk away. If you're happy to walk away if you don't get what you want, then work away. Definitely go and offer the 300 price, no harm in trying.
