There are 1000’s of apartments in cork that are approved with planning permission that have never been built because the current rent (despite being crazy) don’t make it viable.
Why is this so cheap? Dodgy area? I'm not from Cork so still learning which paces are dodgy. House is very modern inside and in "turnkey" condition. Has a massive garden out the front that I'd sell instantly if that was allowed.
101 Commons Road, Cork City, Co. Cork is for sale on Daft.ie
Who would you sell the garden to and for what? No way would you get planning to build on the corner of a main road and photo makes it look big.
I live nearby and am intrigued as to how this will work with parking. I'm guessing most of those who buy the affordable housing will have 1-2 cars per household and will have nowhere to park them.
I guess given site size, it was a choice between an extra few affordable units in an area with public transport, or less housing with more parking spaces?
You could build something like this in the garden. Build up.
Only codding. But seriously why is that house so cheap? It's obviously been renovated recently. Is it a dodgy area?
The public transport amounts to the No. 8 bus. I would have thought that parking would be a minimum requirement for any development hoping to attract working families.
I rented across from the development in Tiffany Downs for a few years about a decade ago and had no car for the first six months and found it a pain as there are very few facilities within walking distance from there. I can't imagine what it would be like with a young family relying on public transport. Even getting to the new Dunnes, which is very close, requires negotiating three sets of lights across an extremely busy roundabout.
I wouldn’t call it cheap have you bothered to look at what other houses in the area are priced at
Looks decent enough to me for a end of terrace house in that condition.
The only comparable house I can find is €245K, every other house available nearby only has one bathroom.

Could you link any other comparable houses or could you not be bothered?
you are right it has 2 bathrooms and end of terrace but no parking and on a busy road. So swings and roundabouts and down to personal choice.
it’s not spectacularly cheap as OP was indicating. It’s priced more or less the same as other 3 bed in the area.
Enjoyed finding this thread recently but a little depressing to see the amount of houses mentioned on Cork market in the 400 to 600k that are really run down and uncared for... Said I would contribute with this lovely house right by the Lough but interesting to note the price change as covered by the Examiner in 2019...
Basically a price change from 395k in 2019 (but was quickly taken off market) to 510k now with planning permission for expansion... some really nice touches which is nice to see but tis still a fair chunk of change...
great to see those spaces being developed but yes, very saucy rent... no parking, balcony even
Thats mad money. Look at BER. It needs plenty work yet. And it costs bout 5k max to get architect to do drawings and so thats not worth much. My guess is that wont make asking
Yeah agree, but wouldn't be surprised if they make the full price or close to it...this bungalow went for 430k down the road from it (and has been converted into a 2 storey!) a good ol F for the BER

While effort was made, the so called "matching" of the green vitrolite facade is pretty poor!
That glass green facade was gorgeous, the new one really doesn't look the same!
How do people find places to rent?
It is all well and good to open new offices in the city but if employees cannot live in the city centre, it is a bit pointless.
So I applied for this. Opened the application form at exactly midday.
My reference number is #145. So I guess I am 145th in the queue. And I thought I did it pretty quickly. Maybe spent too much time fiddling and uploading the documents. Guess I'm going into the lottery bit.
I was worried that's how it worked. I'm 100+ as well. I would have been faster if it didnt take so long for the varification code to come through
Yes the second code took ages to come through for me as well. Let's hope the reference number means we're the 100th odd person to register and not submit the application.
This has gone sale agreed north of 400K.
I wonder how much are the management fees for these apartments.

Always thought online bidding was at least a transparent way to bid for a house but obviously creates its sense of urgency amongst... house seems to have a lot of issues to take on for 194k
A dilapidated Cork home severely damaged in a fire in 2021 has sold for €44,000 above its initial asking price via an auction on an online bidding platform.
No 48 Gardiners Walk in Cobh was put on the market with an asking price of €150,000 on January 24.
Pictures of the property on Daft.ie show a four-bedroom home gutted by fire. Some of the house's front windows are boarded up, and most of its interior walls and fixtures have been badly burned and blackened by smoke.
Wouldn't be that much profit after stamp duty and legal fees on buying and selling. I wonder why it it being resold so quickly?
Steep I'd say. I'd love to know how much myself.
Already well over asking with lots of viewings to go!
Lovely home to be fair and probably cheaper than renting too
It was at 615k when I phoned to enquire about it a couple months ago. Would be curious to know what it eventually sold for...
If so, then this is a sad indication of just how little over half a million gets you these days.
This is the problem, in a nutshell.
Mental.
I wonder was it really marketed under value or did it go for higher than they thought.
I agree but it's a turnkey house, right by a very sought after location with a garden room and planning permission...Feel conflicted criticising it as the owners have put in a lot of time, money and effort into it... I see more value in this home than the houses you see in the 380 to 460k range that need a lot of upgrading with all the time, money and hassle involved...
Think this house is more the problem in a nutshell...reckon another 200k wouldn't get as nice a finish
