Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

That's a lot of words for "I don't know".

Cheers to whoever found the planning. The relevant quote is "The commercial unit would cease to exist and its ground floor would become the main living space of a two bed apartment with living room to front and kitchen to rear while the existing stairs would be boxed into a corridor with WC to rear. At basement level two bedrooms would be provided – one double and one single with windows into the newly created light well and bathroom to rear." https://webapps.dublincity.ie/AnitePublicDocs/00870315.pdf. Sounds grim.

It was me that found the planning. You're welcome.

Its not a studio, its a fancy garden shed.

It’s also only being advertised as a short term let (week to week. Like a holiday home or Airbnb) as opposed to a residential letting. So it’s more “who’d stay in a house like this for a week?” than “who’d live in a house like this?”

According to the ad the minimum lease is 6 months! And you have to give a detailed self description.

I love that Galway chalet/shed, it's very cosy looking and I like the eclectic accessories and lights.

Do like it myself, very tranquil looking

This is nonsense and dangerous nonsense at that. This one office that will not sell for anything like 100k, don't be fooled, and would cost at least another 100k to carry out the planning application is not an example of "how cheaply you could get a liveable apartment in Dublin". Because cheaply getting a liveable apartment in Dublin is an absolute unicorn, it does not exist and there is zero chance of anyone doing it, even if they live on the floor and take furniture from charities that need them and only eat baked beans and pray to Padre Pio every night. Game over.

Yes it is. 2 bed apartments in Drumcondra are asking 350k for 65-70sqm. The office for sale is far bigger at 120sqm. If you could buy it for 100k and do it up with another 100k then that would be a bargain to live in Drumcondra over buying a much smaller apartment for 350k. Only problem is that office will definitely be selling for more than 100k. But even if it went for 150k you could still have a very large duplex for 250k all in, that is still much cheaper than a pokey apartment that has annual ongoing management fees of 2k a year every year.

If you were a first time buyer struggling to buy a property close to town then that office would be a really good way of creating a sizeable home for much cheaper than anything on the market. But because of its low asking price it will definitely attract interest from small builders looking to do it up themselves and then flip it for a tidy profit. The ad on Daft has already been viewed over 8,000 times in just a few days so it will be undoubtedly be selling for more than 100k.
