    To be fair, it's a tiny bungalow literally in the middle of nowhere, and by the looks of it it's built in the middle of a field with not even a path to the front door (though that could be an image of the back door). Looks like it may not have been lived in for a few years.

    Nice for someone who fancies a project - spend another €35k (at least) upgrading the house and creating some gardens, and all for under €100k.

    You'd want to be dedicated. :D

    Definitely seems to be "sane" in the grand scheme of things, but that might depend on the actual state of the place. It doesn't give the size of the site - you might be paying for nothing more than a windowed shed on an eighth of an acre.

    Listen those same places would have been going for 130k or 140k plus a couple of years ago so at last a bit of realism.
    There were selling barns and ould ruins with couple of walls for over 80k a few years ago. :rolleyes:
    Could be someone desperate to offload and also a bit sensible.

    upgrading????? More like demolish and rebuild. The €35k is probably cost of site.
    You are talking about ripping everything out and restarting. Complete re-wire, complete re-plumb, new heating, insulation, new kitchen, appliances the whole shooting gallery.
    When the features say "Electricity" that says it all :eek:

    Certain parts of Sligo stayed cheap all the way through the boom. I viewed quite a few similar places to this as recently as 2004. All of them detached, with a bit of land, and priced between 30 to 40,000 Euro.

    The second house above needs a lot of work to be habitable, that brings its price in line with other houses in the area (a lot of work).
