Check out the shower in this place (pics 18 to 20) and see if you can work out what makes it "interesting"!

I get a feeling some estate agents read this thread. REA Macdonald have relisted this one without the photos of the shower out on the landing at the top of the stairs

Edit: I'm saving the photo of "landing shower" here, before the old link disappears and it gets lost to time.

So the new owner has to go through a legal process to evict tenants? :eek:

It'd imagine relatively few people would buy it if it had undesirable tenants in situ.

Could be worse, maybe it was turned into a grow house, that really destroys the interior.

It definitely wasn't a grow house

The fact that its going by auction- repossession or something? No interior because current owner or tenant is refusing entry? Maybe that is what the note says?

Bad renters would likely explain the place being in such a state that no inside pics were taken.

My guess is dogs are involved.

Forgot the previous sale being mentioned... well I’ll leave that for the legal eagles here to answer that... there has to have been some kind of default or fall through in sale... or maybe the new buyer let in renters who never paid a tap after moving in and they getting rid of tenant by reselling house as they had enough ?

It was sold last September. Would 6 months not be a pretty quick turnaround for defaulting, a repossession and subsequent sale?

I would think the reason why no inside picture and why there’s a sign on door is cause house repossessed ?

Tbf, I wouldn't expect a 3bed semi in killeshandra to cost much more anyway, might not be too bad inside

Jesas ya couldn’t go wrong buying and then renting out someowhere like that ...can’t understand how Galway seems to be so much dearer than everywhere else ..u wouldn’t get a place to pitch a tent for that price here.

I would think the reason why no inside picture and why there’s a sign on door is cause house repossessed ?

The kitchen is hideous and soulless imo. I would genuinely feel sad having my morning coffee in there

The photos are badly done, and make the house look depressing.

Also hard to believe that a professional estate agent would put so little effort into the listing. I had assumed that the lad sitting under the stairs had just thrown it up onto Daft himself. It's POA, feck all pictures, feck all effort, feck all information. Is there something else going on that they owners have to be seen to be trying to sell it, but don't really want to?

I came here to post he's a butcher also. He doesn't have an office.
He'd be older but not ancient. House has being on the market with a good while but not listed online. I guess he's not big into the internet.
You've a very limited back garden and as far as I know the current owner is the house joined onto you.
I do know it was rented to student doctors at one stage and I thought it would have looked better on the inside. (They must have got a deal on those cheap lamp shades.)

Killeshandra house:

You don't have far to the shed anyway. Who the hell does this? I've the same doors and they're always open onto the garden if it's sunny, even if it's cold. That shed just blocks the light. Handy to get turf in though.

And Neighbours. Similar estate in Co Tip and you couldn't give new build houses away because who you'd be living alongside, and their cousins.

There are 2 bed terraced houses in the village going for ~€80k. I'd guess this should be going for quite a bit more than €60k. Either something is up, or the price is low to attract bidders to the auction. Bought for €43k suggests it's being done up from a very bad state, and possibly the internals aren't ready for photos. I'd definitely be looking into flooding, fire, etc.

Just trying to cash in on the temporary rise in prices I would imagine.
Friend of mine bought a 3 bed semi there couple of years ago for less then 30k, rewired, new windows, bathrooms & kitchen. Whole lot cost less then 40k.
Its not a particularly desirable town.

Miriam's taste suits mine, I think she made a lovely job of the place, and I tip my hat to her, but that's crazy money-overall I mean. That gaff in Malahide for example-a million and a half???

Is there a collective madness in Dublin or what? They're at the same nonsense all over again.

A fairly bog standard 3 bed semi in any remotely fashionable suburb is half a million. That's a much bigger house in a very desirable area. It's always going to be a multiple of that. The problem with Dublin is the low-rise sprawl. We have the lowest national rate of apartment living in Europe, presumably off the back of the screw-up with Ballymun poisoning public opinion of them.

It was sold last September for €43,000

But not only is there no pictures of the inside, there's no mention of anything inside the house at all. AMV €60k.

Just how bad is it in there?

A lot of modern one off builds use double main entrance doors, it can add a feeling of space and grandeur.

Signs on front doors are never a good thing.

In the street view from 2019, the house looks occupied and perfectly normal.

be careful there are a few in the thread who love the colour

Looks beautiful on the walls with the coving, but I agree, it doesn't work with the sofa's. or even up the stairs. and certainly not in the kitchen.

Love the colour, agree I would change the sofas. I'm not a fan of leather sofas personally
