    I know there's little information, but just theoretically?

    It would have been nice if mr lynch had bothered including some pics of the interior to find out exactly how far along they were.
    Instead we gets pics of leafy laneways. :rolleyes:
    We don't even get the sq footage so as to work out costs of plastering, flooring, etc.

    As for the add, I think saying it comes with two bathrooms is a stretch.
    All you probably have is the pipes sticking out of the ground in two rooms.

    As it is, it looks like it needs everything bar the roof.
    Need to factor in plastering, plumbing, electrics, flooring, windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, etc.

    Might suit a builder/handyman who has cash, time on their hands and needs a house to live in.

    Take it that there is no sewage, water supply, ESB. Most likely no ceilings. The first fix plumbing, wiring, carpentry is not done. There are no windows or doors, bar the skylights.
    I would think €75k should do it.

    Yea, I guess the reason why they only show landscape is that there's absolutely nothing inside:)
    Thank you for your responses!!!

    Interesting. I'm wondering how you arrived at this figure Milk & Honey, even if it is ballpark and even if you made certain assumptions (which is fair enough under the circumstances). A breakdown would be fantastic!

    Thanks Milk and Honey. You seem to know your stuff. I'm being pedantic but your figures come closer to 100k than 75k. I do suppose it boils down to what the OP means by "finish". Some might assume finish involves landscaping and perimeter wall and fencing which you have included, others may not...depends on your perspective. Then again more may say a house is never finished which can be quite true too!
