The sensors in the ground at traffic lights are induction loops and detect a large metal object above it rather than a heavy object on top of it.

This is a prime example of what people don't get in this country. People say things can't keep on going up and there is a breaking point due. This is where it is going as has happened in every city expanding.

Just saw this on the RTE website.

Not even a table to sit down for a meal at. That fake brick chimney breast would drive me mad too.
€475k buys a lot of real estate, even in Dublin and that one is just an awful deal.
I remember reading a long article in the IT about the concept of property guardian. It has been around for well over a decade now and seems to be a well established and mutually beneficial short term set-up. Better that than the school being broken into and looted/ransacked/burned down.
An update on a property that was up here. Reality is nobody lives in a house like this and it is all staged. I was even right that the furniture is part of the deal. Home of the Year show can be really bad as the presenters are so full of it.
I just happened to notice it on the rte website and realised it was the one mentioned here, that's all.
The actual tour of that 'house' in that video took 2 mins.
The idea has been around for decades. A friend of my mine who is now in his 70's did it when he first moved from Leitrim to Dublin back in the dim an distant past.
Not all properties are as grim as that school - https://www.vps-guardians.ie/property/double-rooms-castlewood-rathmines-dublin/
I dont know why you think people dont live in houses like this. I know plenty of people who live quite happily in houses just like it - its very tasteful and inoffensive.
Its a beautiful house for a single person or a couple.
The point is it is staged and nobody actually lived there as presented. Tasteful and inoffensive means bland and made up to sell. Nothing wrong with that but obvious to some like myself and all I was pointing out
Its brilliant, I basically did it for years in an old house, not up to scratch for renting. Great way to save money. I remember Wicklow county council did it with an old property out beside Rathnew about 15 years ago. My cousin (in the UK) spent years living in a huge old stately home.....fabulous place, bit run down, met lots of people from different backgrounds also.
But it’s wrong to say that people don’t live in houses that are decorated and furnished like that. I know plenty who do. Pristine surfaces, minimalists layouts and a scandi type look. Getting more common IMO
My daughter lived in a fantastic apartment in Howth. Two bedroom 90sm 3 minutes from dart. €750 a month, she was a “Guardian” . It was a repo property. The agency that let it have no shortage of customers.
What the hell is this, an apartment in a mansion/castle in the middle of nowhere in Mayo?
Heres what happens when you buy a house for €875 in 2020, get planning permission for a house at the side, and then realise you cant afford the work and have to sell the house for €650.
And also how houses can fall into sh1t so quickly.
2020
And now
Aside from dust and a couple of sockets messed with, it looks pretty much the same to me. And the garden is neglected. Not much difference really.
^^ 106 Templeville Road is recorded on the Property Price Register as having sold for €910,000 last year!
Comparing the earlier pictures it felt a bit like spot-which-furniture-was-auctioned-off..
The new ad doesn't mention anything about the garage or the planning permission for the new house and all the pictures omit the area where the new house is being built. I assume that they are either keeping that for themselves or it is being sold separately.
OK I see whats happened about here now. Theyre selling the main house. No mention in the new ad that theres a brand new house built/being built next door.
Looks like a disastrous spur of the moment after thought.
It looks as though someone bought it then there was some sort of family trauma and it got neglected, and now its being sold, looks like a good buy by Dublin standards.
Yeah there's a very deliberate decision there to not take photos that show what's happening to the side of the site. So either the new house is built and squashed in beside this one or it's partially finished and looks bad next to this one.
A quick check on google streetview says it's neither though. I assume it's not part of the sale.
I assume they don't want people thinking it comes as part of the sale because they seen it in the photos but also don't want to put off potential buyers by telling them they are gonna be living next to a building site until later on in the sales process.
Ain't nothing like a splashing around a few pastels to give the place a new lease on life.

None of those walls were freshly painted.
Once upon a time they were 😀
