Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

The "No racist" sets off alarm bells, I mean who requests that ?

From the ad:

And you will live triple room in single bed with 2 nice girls(Korean, Croatia)
and as a house mate, aother room(2 malawi girls)

I could imagine one or more of them have had a bad experience or two. Most people are decent here, but all it takes it one scumbag shouting abuse to make it something they think about.

Grandma and Granpa's pension is ****e so they supplement it by charging some poor baxtard €750 a month to live in their shed. Yep still smells like rotten greed. Also Hrandma and Grandpa in that situation could likely live very comfortably by selling up the large house in Dublin and downsizing.

I doubt however this is what this is. Looks more like "Gregory" needs more cash to fund the kids ski trips.

That's appears to be the going rate for rent a room / digs type student accommodation in that area or are you from your comnents implying that anyone who owns property is an evil 'capitalist' or something

The price appears to be within the median range of student type accommodation for Dublin tbh. And what if Grandpa and Grandma or their children did their house up including the annex to sell so that they could "affford" to move into an old people's home? Who are you to judge their circumstances?

You do know that the working classes have to pay through the nose for these services and get nothing for free yeah? The point is we have no idea of the financial background of the people renting the annex out. Plus student demand for accommodation in that area is fairly good afaik. It also appears to be of a decent standard- central heating and ensuite bathroom.

Yeah anyone who ever owned their own house and rented a room out is a capitalist and 'greedy' sure ...

You can charge a fair price considering size and quality of facilities. Defaulting to "market rate" when what you offer is clearly sub-par is greed pure and simple. Doesnt matter a jot who owns it. It's only just above what some would keep their dogs in and they see no issue with charging extortionate money for the privilige of staying there. Greed. And only a similarly greedy ****e would even consider defending it.

Not sure where I stand on this, but at that price it's significantly under market rate in a very expensive area right beside UCD. I know students who are paying similar to share a place. Thankfully, the university is building a lot of units, which will help, though the NIMBYs managed to knock a good number of units off the total because they didn't want flats across the road (source).

I'd buy. I like the outbuildings and the grounds. Those old black and white photos look a bit unsettling though.

I like it too. The thing that worries me is that the trees are ready to be harvested in 2 years. Sounds like there is a contract in place.
The place will look pretty bleak without the trees.

This studio in Cabra for €1,100!! a month has to have one of the most compact kitchens I've ever seen.. They've actually followed the draining board requirement while then ignoring practically all other rental regulations.

Something very odd about that listing. Follow the link and it shows 5 photos although 29 are detailed on the main image

It also shows two near identical bathroom photos and another kitchen area?



The property also appears to have gone up and down by €30 on the same day ....

Cabra would not be considered a great area imo

Edit:

Additional images and description to be found on
https://www.property.ie/property-to-let/7-Old-Cabra-Road-Dublin-7/1879211/

Looks like the bigger kitchen / seating area may be part of a "additional open living room".

For all intents and purposes the fit out looks like multiple old style bedsits.

This is the house when sold. Definitely not salubrious ...

The amount of flies on the fly catcher in picture 18 is unreal. Has something died in that house?
