Falf

Hi there i have Mate that had being intrested in a house in the kilouther area of castlegar in galway, this house had been to a builders finish, he had contacted the owner and had asked would he sell, he said yes but wanted to get it valued, he has just told me that he has spoken to him and he has shown him the auctionairs valuation, it states the house when finished will be worth €400000 (in this day and age???) and it states it will cost €110000 to finish it (this i could agree with!!) so this auctionair has advised the owner to sell for around €290000 with the way it is, now here's what i dont get, in june of 2013 a house of same size less than 100mtr's away with the same amount of land and finished to higest standerd was sold for €273,500 that was june of last year, thats a jump of €126500 and there is a house less then a half mile away same size today for €235,000. I just dont understand it...No wonder the country is up in a heep........ Cowboys.

So it costs 110k to finish it.
it will be worth 400k and he will sell for 290k?

you've got your numbers wrong there mate.


if you want a house for 235€k then buy one and quit moaning.

if you dont want to buy one through an auctioneer who likely gets a cut of sale price then buy one through a private deal.
