If I remember right, the 071 area code is now a much larger area than just Sligo (Sligo used to be just 071). 071 91 is Sligo, 071 96 is Leitrim I think.

Ah sorry I didn't cop you meant the 071 96 section, apologies!

In this thread we have properties described as delightful where there is nothing in them bar a crying chair and a stained mattress. Logic has no place here.

With the shortage of places though, people are willing to pay a high price.

Feel very sorry for any student who will be looking for accommodation soon.

Remember some god awful places back in the day.

Believe me, I know well. It was only a couple of months ago I was looking for a place in Dublin. I was living on the other side of the country at the time. Such a pain in the ass to have to spend the day travelling to Dublin to look at a place just to find out it was a shíthole or have it go to someone else.

Spotted this one in Kerry. Its your usual run down "fixer-upper" out in the middle of nowhere. However the layout in some of the pictures is "odd", check out picture number 4. It looks like a shower is in the middle of the sitting room.

My wife actually went to view that place about 3 months ago...said it was ok but a little small, but for the asking price it was fine. Wonder why it is still on sale...

What the actual fúck? Jaysus, you'd have to be fair depressed to buy that dump.

That seems like a dream come true for someone that likes to fix places up. Sure, it needs a lot of work, but for what you're getting, €55,000 doesn't seem too bad.

Nothing a bulldozer wouldn't fix.

In fairness, that could have been put in for mobility sake.

Or maybe someone just really wanted to watch TV as they shower.

Well, the way the 2 chairs are lined up..... i think it is to watch people shower.

I think number 11 is a different room, but can't be certain.

You can see the toilet in photo 4, it shows over the arm of the couch

I'd say it was put in for an elderly person who couldn't afford a full on bathroom. In comparison to most of the stuff on this thread that house is nice! Obv needs lot of money spent on modernising but not a dive and only small money!

Ah yes, I see it.

Eh.. my room in somewhere I lived had an en suite and if you positioned the TV in my room just right, you could watch it as you took a dump.

So I'm in favour of sh1tting and watching TV at the same time :pac:

I thought the the same, the shower has a stool (don't make the obvious joke!) and a hand rail. I'd say it was a cheaply done downstairs conversion for sombody with mobility issues who needed a more self contained living enviornment but didn't have much money, the picture makes me sad.

I was going to say the same Conorhal, makes me sad, looking at that house. An older person living alone. An executor's sale.

It's definitely a dive, it looks like it suffers from serious damp and has absolutely no insulation. You'd almost be better off with a green field site with the amount of money you'd have to sink into it.

With planning permission so difficult to get on a greenfield site, this type of property is good value for money, knock and replace!
Planning to replace is much easier to get!

The place needs to be rewired, new plumbing and heating, new windows, doors, insulation, kitchens, bathrooms, plastering, etc. etc.

You'd be looking at between 60k - 100k.

I know that. But when your purchase price is 55k even going with your conservative estimate you have a house ready to go for 150k.

Rural Ireland is full of €150k bungalows that are ready to move into.
