    I’d love to know if the house next door is lived in/ liveable


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭emeldc

    Not a stick or stone it seems.

    I'm abit behind, I thought she was going to deck him when he was laughing in the back garden :)

    Fair play to her being able to afford a house for a million on a whim!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,354 ✭✭✭irishgeo


    She hasn't a clue. The look on her face when he mentioned the problem she has with the window order.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,566 ✭✭✭✭The Princess Bride


    The first thing she should have done when granted planning permission, was appeal the decision on the windows.

    6 months behind schedule instead of her original projection of being in there in 5 months? Who could have predicted that?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,693 ✭✭✭Lisha


    Nice house they going to see but the bare walls wouldn’t be for me


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,693 ✭✭✭Lisha


    It’s beautiful but I can’t understand the 4*4 windows...

    Love that she kept part of the old walls. Great feature to the house.

    Have to say I didn't like that. Initially before I realised it was a feature, I thought budget ran out.

    Liked the original wall at the extention though. But wasn't sure of the colour of the extention from the outside.

    Nice house in the end, could buy better for a million though.

    Fair play to her for taking on such a mammoth project, I wouldn't do it in a million years. She did an amazing job considering the state it was in. Where does someone so young get their hands on that sort of money :eek:
    Best of luck to her


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,758 ✭✭✭enricoh


    Serious location, she'd sell it in the morning for a profit.
    Very capable girl, nothing seemed to phase her.
    Must be on serious dough to be able to stump up a million by herself! Fair play.

    Sold it at a loss actually. Pity, she didn't have much time to enjoy it.

    Big time. Really attractive features. But absolutely hate the two reception rooms. They look so dreary and cold.

    God that would break your heart, all that stress for nothing.
    Wonder if the plan was always to flip it.

    Can’t for the life if me see how that restoration was done, with that level of finish for €500k

    I thought she did well getting the work done for 500k , the problem was that she paid 500k for 4 iffy walls!

    Nice illustrated feature on the house here:

    Fiona still seems to own the house despite the odd listing on the Property Price Register mentioned above.

    She may have sold it to herself as a way of getting a mortgage in it. She may have used savings or a loan with higher interest to do the work. She seems to have founded her own cyber security company..

    Interesting article in The Times. She took advantage of the Living City Initiative and will be able to claim tax relief on the renovation cost for 10 years.

    Another 5 month schedule, about 1 month per building in this case, I wonder what will happen...

    This project looks like it could get out of hand very quickly given they have no architect
