Fitting such are curtain are not typically included. But I'd expect built in hardware to easily fit curtains/blinds if I'm pay best part of a million. Although, it's not going to go for that. The lack of clarity on each is odd.
The whole thing looks cheap as fk.
If some body claims your land is there, that is a civil matter. Like I said, zero chance the first in gets to do that here.
They care because it had nothing to do with the planning dept and what they said was worthless in terms of claiming it. That said, at this point they can claim it. Takes 12 years of occupation. Which is why I said one of the houses can't just claim it. The other house house has to practically let them have it.
There's far too much going on, in that house, for my taste. 😁
we once (2011) looked at an unoccupied house (from the outside) in blanchardstown, and i rang the estate agent to see if a viewing was possible. he was a little cagey, but at one point i mentioned that a large part of our interest was the good sized back garden.
'oh yeah. about that. we have a written opinion from senior counsel that there probably shouldn't be too much of an issue in getting the title for that'.
i'm not living in blanchardstown…
Not a legal guy but that scenario sounds plausable.
I'm thinking from the perspective of a buyer thinking "what could be trouble down the line?" and on that front I would not touch either of them. Pulled out of a Sale Agreed in Inchicore back in early 2020 because the title deeds and freehold were a complete mess which I'm sure I could have sorted but gave up trying to price the potential liability into a reduced offer.
my understanding would be that the once-friendly neighbour would have a sword of damocles hanging over the neighbour who built the extension - as in they could legitimately insist on the offending wall be demolished - which would help sharpen minds?
i.e. the neighbour with the extension would have to stump up the legal costs to rectify the situation, and possibly have to make a payment for the land lost?
I missed the pulpit shower on my first look, along with the cup and baptismal font sinks.
The owner probably bought a lot of stuff from decommissioned churches.
The pulpit shower cubicle is a head scratcher alright!
That house is so confusing. Is it a church renovation? Or a house made to look like a church renovation?
Either way, I hate it.
That sort of irregularity probably makes both properties unmortgagable. Would not be surprised if a large portion of stuff on the market is unsellable for similar reasons.
I like some parts of it, but overall I think I would find it a bit exhausting to live in.
it's in conwy - i had to check did it belong to drew pritchard, but i don't think so. he seems to have lived (or lives) in a former chapel, from what i can see.
edit: this seems to have been his house:

A shop that sells glittery gold legs is my guess. 😂
That's actually stunning if a tad overdone in parts.
Oh my word - that is FABULOUS!! 🤣🤣
Where do you even start shopping for a bath like this…

Bloody hell!
You'd want to have a few quid put aside for dickying-up purposes alright….
That could be absolutely fabulous, what a penthouse it would be!
My brother once went sale agreed on a house but pulled out when the surveyor discovered that when the seller had built an extension on the back, they'd agreed with the neighbour to move the neighbours heating oil tank to allow access to build - and reinstated the tank when finished. But they built the extension nearly a foot into the neighbours garden. Which the neighbour only discovered when the surveyor asked could they quickly inspect the side of the extension.
So I think it was as much a case of my brother pulling out as it was the house being removed from the market.
Boundaries are a tricky thing, have seen houses built further up a hill (for a better view) vs the original pp, fences setup a metre or two beyond the actual boundary, it's not unusual.
Rented a place in Scotland, terraced house, fence between the gardens was straight then at an angle, was like that on the earliest os plans from late 1800's, neighbours built an extension into the garden flush with the fence cutting out a triangle of our garden.
They clearly just chanced it, landlord didn't care or didn't want the hassle just let them get on with it. So now technically part of their extension is in his garden!
Supposedly my mothers uncle used to claim a foot of the land behind and to the side of his site a year many, many years ago. He got away with it too. The original owner he bought the site of is long gone.
You say that but I was close to buying a house once that had a fairly large garden. When we went to go sale agreed the estate agent admitted the garden wasn't part of the property and the previous owner had just put a fence up around some grassland that had been left by the developer in the middle of the estate. I spoke with someone fairly senior in the planning section of the council and their view was as long as the garden was being maintained they wouldn't have the slightest care about it. The garden was the main reason my wife wanted the house and she was too worried about the whole affair so we withdrew our offer.
14 years on and the garden is still there! There's even scope to claim more if they shifted the fence a few metres.
where do you start with this one , one room at a time ? How much would a lift be to install ?
Monkstown Castle, The Demesne, Monkstown, Co. Cork, T12Y9RK is for sale on Daft.ie
Edit. Didn't read it properly!
We're a couple of centuries past the point of being able to claim areas of land to be ours. The sale of the houses will be very clear on who owes the land to the right. Either house on the right or common property or similar (like the driveway).
Eh, depends on how lazy the local guards are and how quick they'd be to shout "Civil matter!" and scurry away after your neighbour plays the "It's my land, and if I see you on it I'll give you a thrashing and burn your gaff down" card.
window treatment not normally included on new builds either and most walk in wardrobes I've seen tend to be open generally, but yes ideally they would have finished the site and maybe kitted one of the houses out as a show house and charged 50k more or whatever.
Have to say though pvc windows and no UFH would point to cost cutting all round.
of course not 😂
Yes, I hadn't read it very carefully, but its not very clear.
not a chance. That’s per property. I’ll admit it’s a badly worded advert but definitely that’s the price per property.
Aren't you getting two houses for your million?
I think the price for and unfinished house is worful.
Show an axillary view of the roof surface showing the true area and shape of the tiles and intersection with the chimney.😂
Sometimes, but you'd at least get an option to install something. The thickness of the floor impacts the height of the kitchen units. So you are limited to the thickness they've allowed for (you can see where the island it packed out.). In some phots there is a mini digger out the back, so presumable some are in progres.
Some of the unfinished things I noticed. Hob was missing, build-in units unfinished (in kitchen is built in, really need to install with the units). No blinds or curtains rails. Walk in robe has no doors (option, but cheap), no mirror in the bathroom. Bathroom are only partially tiles - does the buyer have to try find a matching tile?
Other things that re not unfinished, but done as cheaply and lazily as possible. Steps up to the balcony is awful. The steps are painted (is it the 80s?), The white socket on the black island, Radiators lol.
On the surface, its just on the cheap. which suggests it's on the cheap throughout. No where near a million euro property.
With apologies to Kate Wagner: "His and hers level: just counting down the days until the divorce application…"
it'll just be a common area though, this is an estate it just happens to only have 2 houses.
