Because I don't trust someone renting out a log cabin in their garden, for high rent, to be upfront about a ber rating.
You also can't legally live in them, can you?
All bills except WiFi are included but I still wouldn't fancy living in a Wendy house.
Next to no storage and barely room to move around. I'd love to know how they got a BER rating on an illegal development, the ad states it isn't verified though. Also, if it's new should it not be A rated (if it was a legal dwelling of course)?
Perhaps it's piggybacking off the BER of the main house or else he is using the stated kwh/m2 rating from the log cabin manufacturer
I don't know if it's illegal, but building commenced on an identical pair in the back garden, and then retention applied for, and as far as I can see was granted in Feb 2021;
I'd say the BER is Kosher.
Of course it is kosher. daft ie are not daft.. It is innovative.. Reminds of granny flats.
Did the planning mention they were intended as dwellings or say home office or similar? To the best of my knowledge you can't get planning as a dwelling because they don't comply with building regs.
And I'm laughing at the other claim that Daft aren't daft, it wouldn't be the first time they've featured dodgy properties and bedsits. Such nonsense. 🙄
roflol!
The video on that gave me palpitations! Should come with a warning.
I do like this. Utter money pit though. proper lotto win property.
It does seem in good condition in fairness for €650,000. Im guessing there must be some problems not shown in the photos. It would be a nightmare to heat though. It could make a nice boutique B & B.
11 acres plus the outbuildings plus the house itself (which isnt in bad shape) looks like a bargain
Looks to be kept fairly well inside too - no black kitchens or white marble floors!
OFCH - You'd need a mortgage to fill the tank.
Residential log cabins are of course legal in Ireland as are trailers. As are other ready made homes eg demountable dwellings. Used by councils in rural areas when an old house becomes uninhabitable to enable folk to stay near their home. We have them out here.

This has come up on boards.ie several times in the past.
And doesn't it always get shot down by professional architects and engineers, saying you won't comply with fire safety regs?
People seem to bring it up on the building forum on a semi regular basis, and then you hear groans from the regular contributors.
Well clearly it does comply. Yes that was discussed on one thread way back, but they are still perfectly legal. And very comfortable indeed. Trust me on that. I read up way back .
With a name like Donnybrook House it's got to go to one of RTE's royalty surely 😋
Over and out from me on this.
It could be a nice wedding reception place for someone with a spare million to invest. 650k to buy it and another 350k doing it up a bit..

Mad stuff considering a neighbouring house - which is much nicer IMO - had an asking price of 450k and is now sale agreed (probably for more than the asking of course). The first one has a 'granny flat' self-contained apartment out the back which I am guessing was rented out so I suppose you have to take that income into account too. Still seems mad for a 3 bed house in D8
A bed in the utility room which also has double doors leading to the sitting room. Thats a first 😂😂 - It Could be yours for €1.1M.
The granny flat thing out the back is in better condition than the house!
Yes that is the third bedroom in the main house so really it's a 2 bed. You'd get no peace or privacy in there with the back door, living room doors, washing machine, dryer, gas boiler all in with you.
that is included as one of the three bedrooms. the design of the house is terrible and the estate agent is having a laugh.
WTAF??? 😲
The granny flat is much nicer than the actual house.
The price is ridiculous though, surely the estate agent saw '2 houses' and priced it as such, its not even a desirable area
Yes, I was somewhat puzzled by that innovative layout 😁.
Not exactly a house, but anyone who knows the Grand Hotel in Tramore may be interested - watch the video - with the sound on!
The Loreto Road house is staggeringly unappealing, the granny flat at least looks lived in, the rest of it is an unattractive kip.
Somebody got creative in post production!
'Creative' is a generous description.
The session heads done a piece on this as well.
