I haven't seen either of those plastic bags in yonks - the Quinnsworth or old green Dunnes Stores one

Jesus I'd hope whoever is selling it will clear it out beforehand! It'd be some dirty job to clear it out.

Oh that's horrendous, such a sad state to live in. I'm amazed the estate agent even bothered putting interior pictures in the ad

You might find a few treasures hidden there but I'd feel the same as you. Not worth it!

Not sure about the treasures. Curios, perhaps some blasts from the past. Nothing of value though.

I'd say the interior pictures are up because the buyer is expected to take it as-is. "Needs complete refurbishment throughout" is a pretty clear way of saying, "When you buy this you're going to need a RORO skip".

looksee

While its certainly in need of renovation I don't think it is so much dirty as desperately untidy. Most of the stuff thrown around appears to be clothing, there doesn't seem to be the piles and bags of mank that you might expect at first glance.

Bag it, bring to clothing places that buy it.....

Budget for complete, refurbishment such as roof, insulation, flooring, electrics, heating, windows etc etc

You never really know what's hidden behind stuff. If they had animals, then there can be years of waste built up, sometimes even animal carcasses. The smells can seep into the plasterboard, you have to strip the whole thing back to the bare blocks.

Also, only pictures of two bedrooms and a sitting room, nothing of the bathroom or kitchen. Granted, the agent may not have even been able to get to them, but they're often the worst.

It's very sad.

It looks to me like there's bird sh*t on the banisters so god knows what you're dealing with once all the crap is removed.

Doesn't seem cheap either when you consider this is available 5 mins walk away, over twice the size and move in condition!

Yeah 100k very steep for a mess, one would need to put in a good chunk to have it right

Think it's paint, but yeah god knows whats underneath all that mess and in those old Dunnes Stores and Quinnsworth bags ! - what decade are we talking for those bags? 80s ? 90s ?

Wouldn't surprise me if a cat skeleton was unearthed there, needs a deep deep professional clean.

That alone would cost 1000s ....

Those Dunnes bags are from the mid 90s. That Quinnsworth bag design was from just before Tesco in 1997, so 25 years plus..

There's more than likely someone in every town and village living like that.

That hoarders house is way over priced going by this, if a semi decent like that is worth 129k then the hoarder's house is surely only worth about 50-60k?

What they don't say is that all the land is specifically zoned agricultural and stands zero chance of being re-zoned as it backs onto an army camp with an airfield where there is live fire drills done.

Yes, but it might suit someone in the army, not every site or house comes with its own 100m running track:pac:

Man, I'm in the wrong career if pew pew pew army-bois can drop 450k on a running track :pac::D

My suspicion is its priced to attract an investment fund who wont do due diligence on the area. Just see land near the beach in an upcoming development area and throw money at it.

Could be you're own mini Cantre Parcs, and at €400,000 probably a bit cheaper than a fortnight in Longford.

That looks like the house drank too much and puked its contents into the back garden.
