Just google Grand Designs light house.
And sellers too.
When you're selling you want prices high.
When you're buying you want prices low.
That's the way it's always been.
So its impossible to ever pay a crazy price for a house in your mind? Nobody in Ireland has ever overpaid for a house?
And another piece of crap from the indo - this is headline story #5 in 4 weeks. Someone in the indo has a beef with him
Caveat emptor.
Such paranoia. How will you sleep tonight 😄
Who defines what a crazy price is?
Vast majority of people buying houses are more than happy with what they are paying.
Capitalising on the get Bannon crew. It’s the Indo, it hasn’t been a newspaper for a long time
What I mean by everyday living is Dermot seems to design houses for the stage the couple/family are at now and doesn't think of the future and sometimes thinks everyone is like him.
For example-Open plan living is great for when kids are small but when kids become older you need another living area which Dermot sometimes forgets. I've seen Dermot put master bedrooms downstairs while the small kids are meant to sleep upstairs - doesn't really work practically. Dermot also ignores areas like utility rooms because he deems them boring but really a good size utility is essential to keeping a house tidy and organised. He puts steps in etc when they are not really needed which makes a house difficult for older people (everyone will be old some day). His kitchens are often pokey and impractical because he doesn't enjoy cooking himself. These are some of the things that people could find impractical long term.
I remember a grand design revisit to a house that was meant to be an eco house. The couple were honest and said some of the eco decisions they made didn't work out great. I also found the grand design revisits showed houses that were no longer pristine which we can all relate to. The difference is though Kevin isn't the architect that designed the builds where Dermot is. Dermot would never want anyone to dis his builds!
Yeh, that was my point.
I can't see a programme like that happening on RTE unless they fall out with Bannon and even then would they want to be seen trying to wreck someone's business and livelihood. Fraught with litigation possibilities too.
It will be difficult to please this one😀
Doubt money will be an issue for these folks.
On the intro Dermot looks like he is completely baffled as why someone might possibly own a house that they don't want to immediately sell.
Given the recent Indo article about houses on the show selling for up to 5 times (yes that's FIVE TIMES) the owners originally bought them for that says a lot about why most people go on the show. It's a licence payer funded hour long estate agent video.
I'd say the husband Is worse
She definitely wears the trousers.
Plenty of dosh
400k
mother of god
€400k?
Dermot gets a stiffy.
A good declutter here is what is needed more than anything.. I can imagine it will just as bad in 6 months no matter what Dermot does .. what she wants in that house seems unrealistic ..
400k for a renovation. FFS
She is a chief surgeon in the Mater for the last 10 years. She threw out a budget of 400k and almost immediately said the wish list is far more important than the budget.
I'd say we''ll be closer to a million than 400k. By the time this is over.
It's more a rebuild than a renovation, keeping them close to family and community, so makes sense over moving away.
This is off the wall stuff
€400k budget.
€600k projected cost.
This is nonsense.
600k for a renovation
600k and its only b2. i would expect a2 minium
i get the impression a lot of people just hate-watch this show 😅
fair play to her she works hard for her dollars
600k budget already.
But she didn't bat an eyelid when he first mentioned €719k. I'd say when Dermot went back to the car after pitching them the 600k build he cried.
