who in their right mind would pay almost 3/4 of a million for a 5 bedroom house thats still attached to another house. for that money a stones throw down the road you could have something with more square footage and nobody for at least 3 meters either side of you.

Presumably, you get a better spec house, including A rated insulation and energy use.

Personally I agree with you and would rather pay the same amount for a better house I could upgrade later, but some people want a brand-new, move in ready house with the latest build quality.

Two year old thread I know, but the first one is up for sale since they all sold originally.

Funny thing is when they were being sold first they were

Rathfarnham, Dublin 14.

now it's

Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.

But yet, the big old house that was there first with it's stables and big courtyard was.........

Sandyford, Dublin 18,

So you knock down a house in one area and build an estate, hey presto, it's moved two post codes and area, but if you look at their Eircode, it's still D18 ****.
Someone not doing their due diligence.

Looks like they weren't over priced if this one goes for the asking price. Nice tidy profit

Or possibly hoping others aren't so they can fleece them for a bit extra.

I see that second one for sale has knocked €55K off it's asking price, which would bring it back down around the original asking price.

The rest of the land on the site is now for sale too, it'll be interesting to see what gets put in next door seeing as both this and Silverton struggled to sell.

Victoria homes served with winding up petition.

A winding up petition is sometimes used to force payment when the company is messing around. They have to repay the debt within seven days or the court will force them into liquidation.

Can't read the article behind the paywall, so I don't know if it goes into more detail.

One of the subcontractors is owed €100k which according to the article has been disputed for a year.

An old guy up that way said they were in court on Tuesday about it, but cant find anything anywhere about it. All the signs with their name on the hoarding came down a good while age (before August) now the unbuilt site is up for sale, E6.7million) so it shall remain 19 houses for the next while,
Sold at first as Rathfarnham D14, changed to 16, but eircodes are all D18XXXX,
Old house that was knocked used Sandyford D18, as all on that side, up to Silverton,

Big Nasty

Ticknock / Ticknock Hill etc is D18. As soon as you cross the M50 Kingston / Kingston Hall is D16 so Grange Hill should be D16 too. Definitely not Rathfarnham though!

No, it's delivered by Dublin 18 delivery office, and all that side has D18 eircodes, Kingston hall included, but the row of houses on the opposite side is D16, (don't ask me, I haven't a breeze, some tipsy person with a pen drawing a line, perhaps)
