Hate to always sound negative about the property situation in Ireland on here but that list is laughable!

Of course someone else might see something but not one building would interest me.

Interesting that they call them flats, that won't go down well with those who paid 300k+ at the peak for a similar flat aka apartment in their eyes!!

UK auction house. They've always been called flats there.

Is there a catelogoue you can buy I thought which give more detail, for instance that all legal papers are in order on the building etc etc .. See one commerical office in Dublin 7 thats about it ...

Thing I noticed immediately was that the reserves for the Tannery apartments are up on last year. From 85k-90k.

Was only interested because I used to rent there :-)

lets get technical here, I only recently found out the difference between an apartment and flat: a flat takes up the entire floor whereas an apartment is part of a floor.

So all other things being equal a flat would be considered better.

To me an apartment has always being the more modern buzz word for a flat...a flat with a more modern snazzy name...

"Reserve price will not exceed this figure" - does that mean the reserve could be less than the quoted figures?

From my experience, flats in Dublin are generally one floor of an old Georgian house where you can hear everything from the people above you. But there could be some nice ones around.

And in that case from the technical description, my modern rental is not an apartment but a flat!

Yes. They don't disclose the actual reserve.

An appartment is a section of a floor of a building where a flat is an entire floor in theory. Not been used correctly by many for a long time so the meaning is in effect changed to mean either

Dear God talk about a rag tag bunch.
You have Enniscrone, Killybegs, Glenamaddy, Bundoran, Valentia Island, Strokestown.

For a starters in Enniscrone there are AFAIK 8 houses that have been taken into receivership.
So why go for this one when there could be 8 coming down the track.

There is a lot more of this type of stuff out there.
It is when this really starts being offloaded that the price of all property will take another nose dive.

Yep growing up in 70s/80s the only ones I knew living in apartments were relatives in the States.
Anyone in Ireland or UK were living in flats.

Remember it was the Ballymun Flats not the Ballymun Apartments.

But hardly exclusively though and in fairness many of the other flats/ apartments in Dublin/ throughout the country are hardly that well sound proofed either.

As another poster mentions the tower blocks in Ballymun were termed flats. Are they in any regard different to the layout of what would be termed an apartment in more modern day languauge?

Very poor list, the dregs of the market.

Is there somewhere that has a listing of the prices each property sold for at the auction.
