The couch looks like it blocks access from the dining room to the living room, making the double doors a bit pointless. In the dining room, the 6 seater table is pushed against the wall which indicates the room isn't wide enough to accommodate it.

LOL at the EA and the amount of spurious photos. Are 2x photos of the bottle of wine necessary? Not to mention the cafetiere....:rolleyes: "LIVE HERE AND YOU WILL BE A FANCY PERSON WHO DRINKS WINE AND COFFEE". Wow.

SozBbz wrote: » Humm.... if I had €2.5m to spend, I wouldnt be dropping it on that place. There are some serious houses in that little corner of Dundrum, but it wouldn't appeal to me at that price. I'd want a genuine Victorian pile either closer to the city of out by the coast. Thats quite a bland house and the decor is starting to show its age. A new owner would probably want to redecorate which given the size of the place would not be an insignificant amount of money. Not sure who the buyer is for that.

Desirable location, area with good schools, not far from the city and its been decorated very well. Wouldnt be surprised if it went for over asking, as it really is in turnkey condition and properties like that are becoming more rare.

Please note that all plants featured in the photos were not harmed in any way. Also note the 7 candles by the fire hearth are not included in the sale of the property. Spot the difference teaser photo 20 & 21:rolleyes:

The mystical solicitor is taking a punt on renting for a while, in the hopes that the price of very desirable period properties they have their eye on fall in price in the next year or two. My point is that you need to be reasonably well off in the first place to even attempt to play the market.

mariaalice wrote: » Its luck for the vast majority plus you need to be wealthy or well off in the first place, a well off solicitor who decided to sell their house last autumn and take a punt on renting for a year or two, they are in a vastly different position than a first-time buyer who keeps having to renew their mortgage approval. We did very well out of the downturn but it was pure luck and that is the same for the vast majority who do well out of it.
