Could not see beyond the wall last week that wiring might be flaky, now she cannot see the sand !

So it was originally built by a bunch of cowboys. And the building industry, including the CIF are utterly opposed to any kind of surveyors on site during a build.

I'd go mad if that was my house.

Its always about Dermo and what he wants regardless of what the clients want/can afford. If it was me I'd go through him

I just wouldn't employ him.

God knows, but it's turning me off that bank for life. Genuinely annoying ad series.

Either would I. I work with architects that I would have much more confidence in

Would there be any comeback against the previous owners or engineers that surveyed the house pre purchase?

mfceiling

Anyone know the pub they were in? Looked nice.

Silly tactics by the clients. Each increase they just cough up!

No comeback unless the owners knew and depends on if a pre purchase survey was done.

€470,000 for that.. no wonder the country is ****ed

Baldoyle was a lot more than that during the boom.

Wonder how much cash they had/what their mortgage is like?

It's bizarre that a house that cost nearly half a million and they're practically fully rebuilding it with the exception of the front wall.

Surely when they forked out the €470 for the initial build they had a survey done on the house that should've flagged up all these issues.

Mammy and daddy's house looks great. Mel and Aoife should move there permanently. Forget about the other place.

The oul RSJ saves the day.

Before they started work, even if they had done a pre purchase survey, they should have gotten a proper building survey. Doesnt look they did.

No parking space either.

Dermo and his vent, he is a bleeding chancer, anyone check his credentials with the RIAI?

I got a phone call. Missed some of it. What's happened. Last I saw they had just begun knocking walls inside.

How so? The roof timbers would be perfectly okay if it wasn't for Dermot and his fancy mezzanine

Autosport

God that's ugly

passremarkable

Whoever got that €470k must be doing some laughing now! Easy money

Atlantic Dawn

Mmm, how much did fancy beach house cost?

You didn't miss much so. There was the usual drama that happens every episode that pushes the budget way up, and now we're back on track and building again.
