Is it just me that doesn't like these semi detached new builds? Few friends have bought lately and they are the same houses regardless of location, all on top of each other. Small garden, you and your neighbours door spaced out by about 3 feet.

Give me a 3 bed bungalow on a nice site instead.

It's not so much that I have any issue with a semi-detached house it is just so difficult to look at any largescale new builds at the moment and not think of a child's lego set. I think the fact that all the shrubbery is new that it makes the compactness of these new estates worse. Once trees and hedges start to become established I am sure that the harsh edge of these new builds will be softened, even if just a little bit.

Yep. Im in alot of them and there a big differences in quality imo.
Hate the heat pump ones. Always too hot or too cold. Or giant rads.

No fan that your front garden is now 2 parking spaces. Rear gardens are small.

Most with 4th bedroom is where the attic space would be. So no overflow storage. Hot press is taken up with larger solar cylinders.

Note there is very few small houses or 2 bed houses? Regs mean its unprofitable

I noticed that about the 4th bedroom, two of the lads bought in the same estate, one a 3 bed, the other a 4 bed, exact same size house just the attic was converted for the 4th room. Like 30k of a difference.

Over half a million for a house in a large housing estate in Ballincollig

I mean it's a lovely house but seems like a bit much? https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-11-the-close-coolroe-meadows-ballincollig-co-cork/3170096

Nice house and location. Garden north facing. Im always unsure how big a deal to make of aspect. Like the idea of west facing garden sounds great for sitting out on nice evening but then how many of those do we get.

It's nice but doesn't look spacious at all and they make all these pictures look bigger than they are.

That estate has a mad busy road running right thru the middle of it too, which that house appears to be directly facing.

The house I grew up in has a North facing back garden and my Mother spent so much time sitting out in the front garden when we were your younger. I think a North or East facing garden would be a deal breaker for us. Unless it was very large. I just think that seems like a crazy price for that house, maybe I'm wrong.

It's very important. You'll get so much more use out of a south facing back garden.

mad house, layout seems a bit all over the place?

Its not a bad spot at all, layout seems ok if you look at the map on the last pic.

Yeah. Pretty savage.
It seems to me like the difference between 450k and 650k isn't all that, in terms of what you get for your money.
But then go another 200k and the difference is huge. 400 sq m and an indoor pool. And the place is immaculate.

Yeah it’s a lovely job in fairness when you compare it to other houses in that estate that have gone for sale in the last few years. No doubt will go for a good bit over asking.

Very nice indeed but surely a quick power wash on the bricks and driveway in the front and paths at the back could have been done. Small job but would clean it up nicely.

Thought the exact same when I saw it
Plus have no idea why they went for a blue front and garage door when the windows are brown framed? It looks very mismatched

Not quite the city but an absolute steal.

I would get it myself but I'm not in a position to move to Glanmire.

Needs minimum €150k to make it habitable. You'd think they would tidy up the leaves in the back garden :rolleyes:

That's out in the middle of nowhere, no bus route. Not the Glanmire we think of when someone mentions it.

A 70sq m 2 bed in some random estate in the middle of nowhere for well above a quarter of a million being called a "steal" just shows how broken our housing system is right now......

Steal? That should be 150k tops, price is ridiculous and will probably go closer to 300k

Lovely house here and not a bad price for the work gone into it. Will sell for a lot more surely. https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/terraced-house-118-lower-glanmire-road-co-cork/3199582

Bought for €145k in 2015. Wouldn't be a big fan of the Lr Rd. myself, but not much of a return at €295k, given what must have been put into it over the years.

Saw that today too, when I googled the address it got interesting. As well as showing the last sale as 145, there's an article about the owners getting a windfall tax refund that they had not expected of 32 grand due to the living cities initiative. Now on sale for 295, and will go for more.

The owners have done a lovely job on the house, and the living cities initiative is really one of the better ones that should be pushed a lot more, but............

Double your money in five years. What bubble?
