Love the location, but... if I bought that house for 1.5m (and I know we're not supposed to care what our neighbours paid for their house) I think I would constant look longingly out the window/over the fence at Burnaby Lodge next door and wince at the thought they bought it for 1.075m in 2014!Burnaby Lodge is nicest house in Greystones in my opinion.

This sale must have fallen through for a second time at €1.375m (was told 2 months ago that it was closing as soon as lockdown ended) as they've given it a paint job and renamed it for the advert...Of course the location is nowhere near as attractive as St. Vincent's Road, but nearly twice the size and more modern!https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/1-kinlen-road-the-burnaby-greystones-wicklow/4494836

Forensic financial auditors from outside the country should be sent in given the nature of the fraud and who was perpetrating it We live in a country that send grandmothers to prison for not paying tv licence to help deliver independent journalism through one company, yet that company gave little coverage to this story

It's a relatively recent build (2004) "created in the Period style" which looks to be well done, but IMO it lacks the grace of the originals. Having said that there is no doubt it is a plum site in a prime area. Will sell well I suspect.

We live in a country where it is politically unpalatable to say these people have not paid their mortgage for ten years so we should repossess the house. That is the voters fault not the governments. It is politically unpalatable because people who already own houses are happy to pull up the ladder behind them and everyone else can get f*cked for all they care. It's shameful and until we change that attitude we will never fix our housing market problems.

Sinn Fein will be standing on the sidelines waiting and calling shame shame on the government for throwing family out. Ergo Turkeys dont vote for xmas and no government will do this.

schmittel wrote: » I've posted on this before, but one of the things that drives me mad is tht it is so blindingly obvious how to fix the problem, and in a politically palatable way. 1) Announce a wholesale change in thinking to tackle mortgage arrears - banks will be encouraged to repossess, special repossessions court set up to accelerate process. 2) Announce that banks and courts will work through a list starting with the longest term arrears - eg in you are in arrears for over 10 years you can expect action imminently. If your arrears are closer to the bottom of that list - i.e less than 90 days, then it will take a bit of time to get to you. 3) Announce that the process is simple - contract law will be strictly enforced. Did you sign a contract that allows the bank to repossess the home if you don't make the payments? If so, and you are in arrears, the house will be repossessed with no exceptions. This will have the immediate effect that everybody who is in arrears and wants to keep the property will want to get as far away from the top of that list as possible. The only way to do that is start paying off the arrears as much as they can afford, and will drastically reduce the overall problem. Repossess the ones at the top of the list that are never going to be sorted and keep working though them. That will kick start the musical chairs and bring a much needed turnover back into the market. It's politically palatable because no member of the public is going to complain that those who are by definition the worst in the country at paying their mortgages deserve to keep the properties. I think some people might be surprised at the value and quality of the properties that this would flush out. The maths suggests the problem is dominated by the likes of the Mount Merrion house rather than your typical social housing.

What is more likely to be hit hard; your savings and investments, your pension pot, your PAYE and investment income, your home residence? The first three are easier targets IMHO, knowing what I do of this country. Property taxes on primary residences may rise, but will not be struck as hard as other sources of wealth or income. IMHO anyway.
