There is an old full width access that is completely grown over on Google maps streetview. It has been opened when the site was cleared, but it does not absolutely establish that you would get permission to use it as an access, I would want assurance from planning that it was an option - even though it is in the middle of a lights/junction situation, before I purchased. There was previously a house behind that house that has gone and the whole access /site layout could be a minefield.
So on land registry it’s showing a rectangle of land in corner which I presume isn’t included in sale but in photos it seems they are including that corner.. I can’t see anything in that corner when viewing in Google maps
Would land registry be wrong or slow to up date a purchase.
The site was used previously as an unofficial halting site .. summer months.
I don't think they can be wrong as they are the final arbiters, though you can challenge a boundary. I think I am correct in saying that.
As to whether they are slow, I discovered when I went to sell the (estate) house that I had been living in for 30 years that two entirely separate and unconnected pieces of land that were part of the garden had never been registered/updated, for different reasons, and I had to organise this before the house could be sold. This was about 4 years ago. The transfer was done when we left but I have just checked and only one of the two pieces has been updated, presumably the other piece is still being worked on.
We have house with a gate into the middle of a traffic light junction. Always interesting driving in and out. Years ago Dublin Corpo wrote us about move it. We replied back agreeing to moving the gate and asking them when they were going to do it. Needless to say that was the last we heard.
Was it like that when you bought it? Was that not a concern when buying the property?
Yes. But there may not have been traffic lights at the junction 50 years ago! It is fine for getting out, when the lights are red you pull halfway out in front of the car stopped at the lights. But when you drive in you sometimes get a WTF look on other drivers faces, until they see were you are going!
I actually thought this was photoshopped! Until I looked on Google Maps. Yes, it's a great big f***ing pylon in the front garden.
And I love the way the neighbours have built a lovely fence, just to hide the other great big f***ing pylon in their front garden.
I think that fence does not belong to the original photo - there is more than one house with a pylon right beside/ in front of it.
Why would anyone pay 350k for that? And how in God's name did those houses get planning permission?
Cool.
Awesome kids climbing frame included in the price.......because childhood leukemia and high-voltage power lines is not a thing right?
Exactly - how did this happen? Who thought to put a pylon right beside a house or build a house beside a pylon was a good idea.
Also £350,000 - wow - the house ( without the pylon) doesnt even look like its worth that.
Planning - you can't put that tin shed affair outside the front of your house!
Owner - are you saying it detracts from the pylon?
I wonder what was there first the house or the pylon. Imagine the house was there first and the electrical company come along and say we need to put a pylon in your front garden.
Not sure which is better: a pylon in the front garden, or a nuclear power station in the back.
Because it isn't really an apartment but a converted house and takes up a huge amount of space. You can build bigger apartments but they will be too expensive. It really isn't complicated to see owning a piece of land and extending is cheaper than buy a new plot at market rates and starting from scratch.
Lovely place but completely impracticable to expect apartment blocks to be the same
The fence is attempt #2 by the looks of things, if you roll Streetview back, you'll see they previously attempted to hide it..with a hedge.
7sqm for £50k! rental yield of 20% though!!
I'm merely saying Ray that surely there has to be a better standard than the boring blocks of small, dark apartments which get thrown up.
Not merely you gave an example that is completely un-realistic and asked why the rest can't be like it. I gave you an answer.
I would also say that very little matches straight forward boring blocks and dark apartments you mention. They exist but they aren't the majority.
I'm sure the cells in Mountjoy are bigger.
To be fair, it looks like the risk is very small - it seems to be a circa 33% increase in a very unlikely thing. Which is not good, but it's not a huge issue either. Your odds would go from (say) 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 27,000 - that sort of range.
Here's a meta study on the associated risk.
It’s expected to get much more than that. Bought in 2017 for £100k according to the Guardian
The poor bastard who moves in. Either microwave dinners or get takeaways every night. Then no where to do laundry.
That London place is perfect. It won't be lived in by someone 7 * 52; almost certainly someone living in the likes of Dorset/Somerset will use it as their base for their Tues-Thu working in the city. Minimum outlay for the essential bed and bathroom.
You'd want to be earning quite a bit to be paying for two places to live.
Many, many do in London. A friend of mine in M&A left London for Dorset after 20 years so that they could raise their kids away from the city.
After 20 years working hard in the city, it's very feasible to sell up in London for a very, very, nice place in some county and have a flat in the city for during the week.
Wondering about the pylon houses here.Does the energy company pay the house owner a subsidy for it like in the US or no?
There is a solution for this, a private traffic light!

I wonder have they installed weight sensors in the ground as I doubt the junction is held up 30 or 40 seconds every time it turns green for the house. Seems like a waste if it does turn green for them all the time.
