On a point of order, a question was asked about the origin of the word McMansion

I put forward the theory that it's really derives from a Sunday Times (Ireland) article from about ten years ago about what they called a "Muck Mansion"

This is a farmer who with some land with road frontage during the Celtic Tiger would throw up a tatselessly non designed house with ofch and 8 bedrooms with the expectation of selling it for €€€'s

Yes, the location is good. But you'd have to demolish the house, which at 72sq.m. is already so small it seems to almost occupy the whole site. And you can't build up, the neighbours (whose houses face the site) would naturally object against blocking their sea view/light.

Kinslae is nice, but not this nice.

Exactly. I wouldn't have a clue in relation to what it would cost to do something with that, but that's a heck of a lot of money, imo, just for the house / site, as it is.

These kind of places really don't help me trying to convince people we are not all on drugs in The Netherlands.
Expected it to be designed and built in the 70's but it is relatively new from 2007

From the outside, it looks like a cafe and gift shop building in the middle of a zoo

But BER Rate G? I thought the BER only went as low as F. An estate agent quotes F as meaning "An older property, barely a shell with single glazed windows and no insulation."

What's G? A field with a strong gate?

thanks for that, laughed a lot..:pac::P

a G house might mean two open fireplaces, single glazed windows, almost no insulation, house could be perfect otherwise and not that difficult to bring up to D which many perfectly good houses are

What do The Dutch do in the way of rates / property tax ?

Depends on where you live but to give an idea: 0,1280% on the value of the place. And it is the tax office that decides the value

Occupants burned the kitchen cabinet doors for firewood? Seems to be a load of sawdust around the twin crying chairs. All the stuff that's missing is wood (wardrobe doors, bed frames, dining room table as well as the kitchen stuff).

Although there's a lot of ceiling lights just ripped out too.

Some sort of eviction or repossession. Doesn't look too bad. Sand and paint the front door, new doors for kitchen and wardrobes from IKEA, new white goods, carpets, curtains, borrow a mower, rent a skip and a couple of days cleaning up would sort out most of that. Not sure if that white stuff on the tiles cleans off easily.

No idea what the area is like, but you could be saving a fair few grand for a few days graft.

The estate is right behind a halting site, decent schools nearby though. Trim prices are crazy but its the one estate that's still reasonably priced

It's the standard estate agent's lens, look at the other photos and most things are misshapen!

With Nicky Byrne and Robbie Keane as your neighbours too, no thanks. At least Ronan Keating moved out so the estate is marginally less annoying
