    I love how the ad opens with the agent being "delighted to present this three bedroom mid terraced property to the market".

    I'm guessing they weren't so 'delighted' when they opened the front door to that hovel to take their happy snaps.

    That wording jumped out at me too. I know they always pretend to be 'delighted to present' etc, but they need to rethink when it comes to the likes of that.

    It's sad to see that it was once a well looked after home.

    The Air Corps fly out of Baldonnel and conducts air-to-ground range practice out to the sea. Last was in April I think.

    The artillery also fire from the airfield out to sea. Again, this is conducted a very small number of times a year.

    The aerodrome, is still not operational.

    Should be no issues buying that site...except its in bits.


    I work beside it, it's a pain the the ass listing to them flying in pairs firing off the guns. However it's only about once or twice a year for a few days at a time.

    Heard of someone who would hoard their pee in all kinds of containers all over the house they were renting, lovely mess for the landlord to clean up when they moved out.

    I guess mental health issues.


    That's not too bad.
    A landlord in our block had trouble with a tenant and finally got him evicted.
    The tenant who obviously had a few issues, went "the full Bobby Sands" during his final few weeks in the apartment.
    Landlord had to remove everything and strip all the plaster work back to the blocks.

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

    I would buy that for the outbuilding! Stunning (in its own kind of way)

    Yeah it's rare enough. I was based there for 6 years, know the place well. I'd say it was more annoying when the Aer Corps operated the location.

    Your tradesmen would need to arrive and leave the site via chinook, none would want to park their work vehicles anywhere near the house.

    It's psychedelic, probably your dream home if you yearn for the 60s and LSD.

    It's also Clontarf so probably snapped up already.

    That’s one of the weirdest places, an office converted to a residential gig ?

    That wins hands down as one of the most bizarre things I've seen online in a long time.
    Belongs in the wtf thread!

    That yellow place looks like a mix between an illegal backstreet dentist’s waiting room and a sleep deprivation research facility.

    You always know you're in trouble with a place when the estate agent needs to include stock photos of the nearby dart station and the local area.

    No point. There's no handle on the outside so if you did close it you couldn't get back in :pac:

    I always think that too.

    When there's sweeping views of well just about anything except the things you would really want to see, as a buyer, or tenant, it's time to worry.

    Exactly!

    You would nearly need sunglasses to look at the photos, I can't imagine what the real thing must be like.

    Bizarrely, the Street View camera car actually went down the side of that building in Clontarf into the private carpark at the back. (link)

    As the car approached, you can see the occupant at the time trying to escape out the window.

    But within the seconds it took for the car to actually reach them, they had been caught, and you can see them standing motionless inside the bedroom as they await their punishment.

    That ad has been amended. Last night it said accommodation was for for one person only. This has been removed today.

    Going by this thread they could easily squeeze another king and a bunk bed in there.

    I think it's a Japanese-style sliding door. Maybe the place was renovated by a weeaboo.

    It looks like the landlord got greedy and turned the communal laundry and storage area for the flats above into a new "apartment". I'm guessing there may have been a washing machine and dryer in that bedroom at one stage. Grim.

    Its a regular door in the bedroom but in order to close it you would have to move the drawers beside the bed to the other side, which would cover part of the internal window and leave the bed rather too close to the heater. So it looks better for the photos to have the arrangement they have. Meanwhile you can't open the chest of drawers at the foot of the bed even if you decided to leave the door permanently open.
