Listen lads, you really need to get yourselves onto daft.ie, the irish version of rightmove. What nobody will tell you about our little isle is that the GFC and lack of investment in housing has caused such a crisis in the irish property market that people will buy literally anything for insane amount of money - particulalry in Dublin. Luckily, many of the people holding onto family-sized houses are popping their clogs now, and probate is working overtime so we are seeing some absoute corkers coming onto the Irish market.

Currently living abroad and looking to return next year - Hubs and I havent yet decided between Uk and Ireland. So i am currently frequenting both RM and Daft on a regular basis. Daft wins hands down for laughs.

In South Co. Dublin alone, in the last few days, I found these gems:

- 59 Mount Albany, Newtown Park Avenue, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, A94DW93 is for sale on Daft.ie - it's the bathroom for me... this'll go for a cool million despite the bathroom...

- 5 The Apex, Kilmainham, Dublin 8, D08AN19 is for sale on Daft.ie - only time to paint the one ceiling it seems. But no worries, wallpaper for everyone

- Summerville, 21 Cross Avenue, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, A94K1V0 is for sale on Daft.ie pretty much all revolting including the exterior. Exception only for the cool library landing! Would like to clarify that I cannot afford this.

Now listen, stamp duty is only 1% in ireland, so form an orderly queue.

Dear God, the wallpaper in that Apex building block of flats........😱

I'm not a fan of the design but the attention to detail on the orientation is chef's kiss

I've been browsing Right Move today, because if I win Euromillions on Tuesday, I want to be able to put a cash offer in straight away, for my dream home. I found this cute little, one bedroomed log cabin nearby - but look at the price!!! :eek:

Flipping heck, that's steep! Add to that it almost certainly won't have planning permission to be lived in year-round, meaning it can only be used as holiday accommodation, and the council tax premium for second homes in Conwy is 150% (i.e. whatever the council tax is on it, you pay 2.5x that figure, unless you meet the holiday letting minimums for business rates, which is available to let 252 days a year minimum and actually let 182 days a year minimum) and you can see why they're wanting to offload it!

Found its listing: https://www.uniquehomestays.com/self-catering/uk/wales/conwy/hinterland-cabin/ - from £1,450 a week!! "If arriving by air, helicopters are welcome to land on the grounds with prior arrangement."

The location is far enough from civilisation to be irritating without the benefit of real isolation as well. Would rather something like this https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/150907235#/?channel=RES_BUY and spend the 100k on redecorating

I could get an all-inclusive family holiday in the sun, for that price!
I hadn't thought about the fact it is a holiday home, and can't be lived in year round. I was just gobsmacked at half a million for what is basically an upmarket shed with a hot tub :D. I wonder if they have had much interest?

There was one very similar in Cornwall a few years back that was £700k, but that was in the dunes overlooking a fairly private beach and had its own helipad.

I must admit I'm not keen on that area (I know parts of it are beautiful but I find it bleak) but that house is a beauty.
