I am dealing with Estate Agent that I never had to deal with before. I swear they are a law unto themselves. They are the singularly most rude, presumptuous, profession I have met. Now in all fairness my last letting agent was great and I have found one that has a sound receptionist and is on the ball to deal with. The rest are an awful shower. They seem to be worse in the rural areas as they think themselves as local heroes or Lords of the manor interacting with the peasantry. The delusions of grandeur are staggering.

In reality they are descended from third class gentry with level 5 night school qualifications.

Remember looking round a house and the estate agent tells us that it was a 'nice location' and that there are 'no renters' around as if that was a positive point, knowing full well that we were renting and it was a first time house purchase, why we didn't just walk out after that I don't know.

Eh no renters is a positive point. When we were buying our first house two years ago we looked at estates with no/few renters. No idea how you took offence at that.

Because snobbery is offensive, simple as that.

is it snobbery or wanting to live somewhere that is more stable? I wouldn't like to live next door to a house that might have different people at any stage. You call it snobbery but do you not understand why somebody might prefer it?

If you have no renters then you probably have settled folk sitting at home all day minding everyone's business and bothering you with petty resident's association shyte

A different (and equally offensive, and equally ridiculous) stereotype.

Looks to me like a reception area for gatherings/parties.

It has two Sean Scully paintings (and a third in the background) that are worth many thousands - I'm not necessarily a big fan of Scully's work (Rocha is), but if I could afford original artwork by by favourite artists, I'd dedicate a room to merely standing in front of them too. You can well imagine 15 or 20 people standing in there, drinks in hand, chatting. It might not resonate with everyone's lifestyle, but then we're not all John Rocha.

yeah I had thought they looked like Sean Scullys art work on the wall. Some of his work is good but Im always amazed how much it sells for. He has sold paintings at Sothebys for $500k and even small ones go for $50k upwards. All his paintings are just broad brush strokes in various colours, they are nice and everything if you like that type of abstract art but also hardly the most difficult thing to create. I watched that documentary he did and he bashes these paintings out in no time at all and he has hundreds of them stored in a warehouse which he drip feeds onto the market to maintain the high prices.

Yeah I don't care one bit about 'snobbery' when making the biggest purchase I'll ever make. A settled estate is far more desirable than one full of rental properties.

I've lived in a few estates that were full of renters (as a renter myself). The real problem is when you have a lot of house shares which means lots of cars and can be a real bottleneck getting in and out at peak times. Regular parties can be a problem too. Families renting is a different story. I agree though, I'd prefer a settled estate when buying my own house and think the estate agents remark was perfectly reasonable. I actually think its a bit bizarre that anyone would take it personally.

He should have included bright and airy in his description. And he forgot to mention the indoor garden that extends through many rooms.

I like the Moorish style inner courtyard.

Maximum effort & money went into master bedroom, bathroom & sauna room.

Bonus points for front window converted to french doors with patio in front garden...

Christ, that's ugly and tacky. A fecking bath and sink in the bedroom!

50 shades of grey again and one luminous green.

The patio in the front garden is cheap and hideous.

The map location is about 5km off as well.

They've teleported it to the nearest village.

My thoughts as well. You can see the condensation on the window in that photo. Couldn't be good for you having that in your bedroom.

I know the estate agent, he's also a county councillor. I won't comment on him. Only thing about that house is that you could never complain about a smell in the jacks.

No idea why it isn't just advertised as a site with excellent potential to knock it and get planning for a larger house. You can get that site for €20,000 or possibly less FWIW.

Ah right, fair enough. Yes you can see the different window position.
