I have no idea why the architect made the neighbours house driveway in front of your house why didn't he just do a normal entrance at the front?
Also the price is because of location.
[Snaps wallet shut]
🤣.. just going to have a look at it now.
Well spotted! I'm guessing it would have been too close to the junction right beside that house.
I think this is a beautiful site although expensive.
Very pretty - but *sucks teeth * damp, and rising sea levels.
I could just imagine a massive storm with massive swells in the ocean. Sure look at Salthill in Galway every winter where cars are parked and always get flooded.
Looking at pic 15, is that a hose beside the jax for, em you know, getting out the stubborn clinkers ?
Don't mention the hose!! 😲🙈🙉
Just catching up on a few days of this thread now....
What a bizarre house!
Front door looks like entrance into a warehouse or barn or something.
Purple shiny couch in the hall, matched by the two-tone curtains (with those brand spanking new doors are curtains really necessary?? I keep threatening to fit one to my 100+ year old hallway, which leaks air like a sieve, but surely not needed in a newbuild?)
I love their wall colours throughout, but whoever picked the curtains needs sacking.
Not a fan of all the redbrick in the living/kitchen area - a bit can look good but that's waaaay overdone.
Have to love the mini Oval Office!!
Oh my god, that's fabulous!
But the mean little roundy table in the dining space - wtf was that about???
That's crying out for a big lump of a 12-seater at least!
Did a split personality person design that interior?
The contrast between the fussy, ornate living/sitting rooms and the rest of the house - especially the stark TV room which follows the other pics - is jarring.
Can't say I'm a fan of any of it.
Nothing wrong with this place but wondering why asking price is so low?
150k for a 3 bed apartment in Dublin 8.
http://20.67.162.250/residential/brochure/apartment-128-the-tramyard-spa-road-dublin-8-inchicore/4634487
Because it has a tenant.
Whether or not there are issues with the tenant is not known, but it has a return of 20k a year, I wonder why a landlord would get rid of it?
Because maybe the tenant isn't paying and it's costing a pile of cash to hold onto it. Looks like there's kids there as well. DCC housing won't be in a rush to help move them on as finding a suitable 3 bed in that area is pretty much impossible. They may have an interest in a long term lease but they usually only do this when the apartment is empty and renovated to their standard.
If you could get the rent allowance paid into your account it wouldn't be too bad, but it beggars belief that it's nigh on impossible to get this done here.
Also could be an estate agent lowballing to get interest. But that's a very low ball.
It’s over 4000 sq feet near the sea in howth if it was south side you could add another million or two depending on where exactly it was, I’ve seen a lot worse value than that if howth is a place you like.
Oh I know the price is due to the location. Just saying I would want alot more than that house if I ever had €2.2M to spend on a house.
That one was discussed here a while back. The gas heater in one of the living areas was cause for discussion!
As was the bum hose in the bathroom 🤣
I've often wondered about properties for sale with tenant in situ. What's the story? It may be a silly question but could you end up owning a house that you can't move into?
That property is going for auction electronically. The 150,000€ is just to get buyers interested.
Bidx1 seem like a scammy company when I looked into registering with them to bid for a property. You have to pay deposit to bid and plenty of reviews of people trying to get their deposit back plus lots more problems.
Gave it a miss
you could end up with a house you can't move into for a considerable period of time. Removing a previous tenant can take months if not years if the tenant is obstinate.
Nothing scammy about bidx1.
most of their stuff is receiver sales, so some will inevitably have problems. Owner refusing access, tenants in situ with no rental agreement, title issues, you have to be very careful when buying from an auction as it is sold as seen. Caveat emptor!
As Robbie says, the asking of €150k is jsut to get interest. It will probably go for a lot more.
Its more than just you get a house you cant live in the banks wont give owner occupiers a mortgage unless its vacant. So that means only Investors or cash buyers who can wait to get the tenants out can buy it.
Trust pilot doesn't rate bidx1 highly.

I read the reviews and decided it wasn't for me.
I was going to bid on a house some time ago that they were selling. They were very cagey with the details but encouraged me to place a deposit and bid.
Too many warning bells, so I left it. It sold and is now back up for auction. They should just tell what they know and save people a lot of time wasting going forward. This is the house, it effectively contravenes every planning rule in the book but they don't tell you that (although they mention it a bit more in this ad): https://www.bidx1.com/en/en-ie/auction/property/81401
They're not doing anything wrong as the poster above says, but it borders on dishonesty, though nowhere near as bad as some estate agents.
If the apartment in Inchicore is occupied and it takes 2 years to get someone out, then it still will suit some people with time and money on their hands if it goes well below asking price.
Did you not get a legal pack when you registered to bid?
Exactly, with any sale the buyer needs to get a full survey and engage a competent solicitor. It's not up to the vendor or their selling agent to highlight issues.
BidX1 sell properties with planning issues, difficult sitting tenants, repossessed properties etc. You really need to do your homework before committing.
No. As I said there were too many warning signs so I never went near it.
My understanding is that that building in the photos has to be converted back to being a stables. So the roof comes off (it's too high) and almost everything inside gets removed (with the exception possibly of the lower bathroom and kitchen subject to planning). This is what I got after trawling through various council and other planning rules. BidX1 are well aware of it but feign ignorance.
You can see in this aerial view the outline of the foundations of the house to the bottom right. This is what you have to build. You may get a change of permission to build a smaller house on the foundations, but that's at the discretion of the council.
Bidx1 will simply state that house is sold as seen, they have not tested or verified anything, etc etc.
Basically buyer beware - they promise nothing. They regularly auction buildings with defective blocks in the NW, many of them very obvious given the location/age/price but nothing will be said in the ad. Many naive blow ins have been stung thinking they were getting a bargain!
Agreed. The requirement for disclosure in a sale by private treaty (eg Estate agent) does not apply to auctions.
The basic legal rule which applies is “caveat emptor”, i.e. buyer beware as properties sold at auction are sold unconditionally. Some may have the opinion (I have no experience myself) that BidX1 are not be acting ethically, but they would appear to be certainly acting within the law.
Whilst the purchasor may be unaware of this, they should have a solictor who will fully inform them of the risks. If a purchaser fails this basic step by appointing one, then there is little that can be done to protect them.
The vendor is not obliged to disclose any physical defects relating to the property or other issues, other than having their solicitor preparing a legal pack containing copies of the contract for sale and title documents relating to the property prior to the auction. As KevRossi posted above, if you cant even get this then thats a warning sign.
if you didnt get the legal pack how do you know this info was not included? Nobody (should) depend on the information supplied in an auctioneers ad. It isn't binding.
