After a bit of a break im on the hunt again. This house is in Glasnevin which is not somewhere Ive considered before. House is on for 235000 with an offer of 220k
The house is a complete doer upper... rewiring, plastering, new windows, complete kitchen and bathroom to be fitted. At present the third bathroom is halfway converted into a bathroom and the kitchen is a shell. The new windows will have to be original wooden sahs style as its an AAC area.
On the plus side you could add a lot of value to this place. Its in a beautiful part of town, has lovely early Edwardian features and is large.
Unfortunatly I cant afford the refurb costs or the house as the bank have taken back their offer from February

My Tips
* Dont believe a word any estate agent or solicitor says. Expect long delays and no one to ring you on time
* visit the area where the house is at different times of the day
* ask the police if you have any niggling doubts about the area
* check the taps work and windows open
* ask if the heating works, just because its there doesnt mean it works
* see if the neighbours have added extensions or converted the attic
* never act too excited , the agent can smell an eager buyer a mile away
* be willing to pay the price to get the house or willing to walk away and leave it
* dont think too much about the price. Its only a guideline and a house is only worth what someone is willing to pay
