Talk about a buyers market! During the same auction, a castle in Athy sold for a measly €195,000...

Just think, an entire housing estate and a castle would cost you the same now as a city centre studio apartment would probably have cost you during the boom.
If only I had two brass farthings to rub together - I could finally become a property magnate

Wouldnt it great if they were finished now, and sold at a realistic price.

An Irish family who are returning from America bought the castle in Athy.

It had an auction guide price of 50,000 euro.





I hope they like Athy though.

That one looks pretty uninhabitable though!

In all honesty, I think I'd be too spooked to live in an actual medieval castle

Ah you can only see the outside. It was lovely inside. Restuarant and the whole lot along with the families living area. They were'nt allowed to do too much outside because its a National Monument.

That's not cheap. I managed to buy 3 politicians for €10,000 and a few pints.

It's great news the housing estate was bought. This is a sign that the economy is starting to get going again. I hope they make good profit from it.

I had a female love interest there once who didn't quite feel the same about me as my spelling was too good and therefore I was posh.

I wouldnt get too carried away, it's probably more a case of if you make something cheap enough, someone will buy it.

sheesh

re the housing estate I'm not sure if the houses have been connected to electricity and water yet and they will need further work done to them. they will need to be given a cess pit each too which will have to be inspected. the location is not the best either still there is money to be made there, maybe.
