New housing estate Togher

hufpc8w3adnk65

Just seen all boards with signs on the tramore road almost opposite the Garda station showing a new housing area been built. Anyone know any more about it I didn't get a great look

This is the place you are referring to I think

Could be good or bad for the area, not sure to be honest. Traffic on Tramore Road is a nightmare already!!!

How on earth is the mini-est of mini roundabouts supposed to cope with extra traffic? It's already a no-go area in rush-hour.

Looks like a decent development TBF - no solar panels on the roofs...? Or is this purely for illustrative purposes?

Bar the obvious issues with traffic it looks ok, better than leaving the land idle.

Any idea of the price range ?

Examiner said €350,000 range. I think thats a bit steep for what they are, would be foolish to buy in that location for that price range.

Ouch !!! Out of my price range for sure !!

Considering the area, you'd be a fool to buy a house for 350k there

€350k? GULP!

Even for 250k-300k i would be reluctant to live there, you are essentially moving into a traffic problem, with no way to resolve it. There is very little in the immediate surrounding area either.

Link to examiner article - actually says 335,000 / 340,000

The developers and auctioneers might be slow to refer the immediate area as Togher with those prices. I expect Lehenaghmore Lower or something like that....:D

No way anyone buys s house in TOGHER for 335,000 are they off their heads? 200,000-220,000 would be loads for the area!

There is also a new estate past the Doughcloyne on the left.

Whether they are Togher, Wilton or "Doughcloyne" though, Im not sure.

omahaid

There isn't a lot available in terms of 4 bed houses in the city between 200-220. Having a look on daft shows very few (14). Togher might have a bad name but I've lived on Tramore road for a few years without any problems (bar traffic). And the one really good this about the location is you're so close to everything.

I'm from the area. The only issue is traffic and it is absolutely brutal around that roundabout. Tramore Road was always bad as regards traffic. I remember that completion of the South Link was going to leave it deserted... well that didn't happen.

Togher's wild side was at its height in the early 80s. Then the problem areas grew up. It was fairly quiet even by the 90s. Although I do hear that one of the new estates up lehenaghmore is trouble.

It's not that it's a problem area it's just a bit grim and unless u had family nearby you wouldn't really want to live there esp
At those prices.

Grim is the word! Walk my dogs there and it's pretty depressing alright. Bought at height of boom as only place could afford but would love to move. No way those houses will sell for that amount

I saw the other day the 5 houses built up the road from these in Doughcloyne 2 are sold 1at sale agreed and the other two are on the market for 375k. Some saving for the 20pc deposit on them

I was chatting to someone recently who bought a house off the plans.

Time to buy the last of the cheap jetskis on donedeal and refurbish them.

All the houses you linked to are detached houses, with a decent amount of space behind and in front of the houses. Loads of potential to work on those houses.

If you spent about 50-80K on refurbing any of those houses you would have something significantly more desirable than the new builds up the road for 370K.

Indeed, I was responding more to the "It's TOGHER" tone posts.

However " four terraced three-storey houses of over 1,660 sq ft (over 550 sq ft per floor), and where all four bedrooms will be en suite" aren't going to go for the €200k ish price being suggested by someone because they are in Togher.

They'll yield close to €2000/month if rented out.

Personally wouldn't buy one but I'd definitely live in Togher.

Also the terraced one are "with mid-terraceds priced at €335,000, and end units just a tad dearer, at €340,000" not the €370k you mention.

Interesting you point out these three houses as we bought one of them (I wont say which one ). As pointed out by another poster there is a lot of space in the back and we are in the process of a significant refurb (in the order of 150k).

Personally, I think they will make the asking price. We have a crazy amount of services (doctors, schools, hospitals, bus routes, sports) and shops walking distance from Tramore road.

I've got a few quid myself, and I spoke to my bank manager...he's prepared to lend me a small bit...I have this idea...I'm going to import hot tubs and sell them off....what do you think...or would I try the aul' jetskis too?

Meow!

Don't care what services are in area . It's a grim area . Who wants to live beside factories and council houses at those prices ?

Happy living

I would also reckon they'll make the asking, easily.

Grim area is very much opinion dependent, many would see the benefits of living there. The council house "point" a comment from days gone by imo, snobbery for the sake of it.
