    The below is a savage apartment for sale at a good price, one problem the apartment doesn't have a bloody kitchen. Does anyone know why these were initially built without a kitchen?, I'd guess they were supposed to be for overnight VIPs, renting for photoshoots etc but now they are trying to sell them and no one is going to buy them to live in them when they don't have a kitchen unless you want to build one from scratch.

    Good price? And you only get one car parking space :eek:

    Even for VIP guests I'm sure they'd appreciate having a kitchen. Very odd. The first pic is misleading as it's the view from the apartment rather than the building itself.

    My point isnt really about debating the price, its why they built the things without a kitchen, seems retarded unless they never expected to sell/rent them to ordinary people wanting to live in an apartment

    Ah yeah I'm sure they had some weird reason. I've seen huge apartments specifically built for housing VIPS around Baggot Street and they generally have fabulous huge designer kitchens. It's very strange they didn't put one in. They should really do it now, it might help it sell.

    Maybe this was built to be a hotel ? Might explain the lack of a kitchen.

    Why would you buy this? You couldn't rent it out without a kitchen...http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/renting_a_home/repairs_maintenance_and_minimum_physical_standards.html

    Apparently it did have a kitchen originally, but the owner took it out

    I honestly cannot believe what I'm reading here. No kitchen?? Celtic Tiger hubris, excess and plain friggin' stupidity in as pure a form as you can get.

    Usually I would never wish ill on a seller. But here, this person deserves to get burnt so, so bad because when you disengage your brain and choose not to use an ounce of the common sense mother nature gave you, then you deserve to learn the hard way. That's mother nature too you know: it's called natural selection. Dimness must be expunged!

    I wonder is the fact that theres no kitchen mean it can't be declared a residence for tax purposes?? Great for the non residants for tax purposes...

    No kitchen? Unreal. Ok, maybe the Celtic tiger cub who reconfigured this place was no cook and ate out every night but, Christ, did he not fancy some corn flakes of a Saturday morning?


    Another thought: High-end knocking shop?:confused:


    Certainly wouldn't be legal to rent this place out as a private residence.

    Your residence is where you go at the end of your day. It isn't where you eat.

    +1 What an absolutely bizarre decision

    Did they not even want somewhere to make tea or coffee :confused: All I can think is that is was a corporate apartment for putting up guests of the company who would be wined and dined etc?
