Is the expensive one the house with the seomra out the back

Yes

I'd favour an end Terrace over a Seomra any day.

My friend got one cost her 5k (shopped around)

So would I
But other people will see the seomra as a ready to go home office or teenage den
Your friend done exceptionally well to get a half decent seomra for 5 K , they normally cost substantially more

Yes, the home office is a big plus for people these days I guess.

Loghouse in Bray if you're in the market for one

Only if they are made by seomra

no, if they are made properly, there are a few threads where people have made their own in the DIY section and its still cost them over 5k and they have no labour costs,

you can get a shed for 5k, not a proper outdoor building.

Well it can’t legally be called a seomra if it’s not built by Seomra
I asked was that a seomra in the back garden and the poster replied yes
He so said he knows someone who got one for 5 k
As seomra was the only brand mentioned in the conversations it is safe to assume the 5k was for a seomra

JimmyVik

Pop a chill pill guys.

What I meant is they normally cost substantially more if they are made by Seomra.
You can get practically the same thing for less than a quarter the price of the seomra models.
As Mary Hearney used to say. Shop around.

you really cant, maybe half, if you want to do some work yourself, but not a quarter

This is what my friend got.

Apologies for refering to it as a Seomra,they're really all the same to me,meaning they're just outside living space but except that Seomra is a particular brand and you pay extra for that.

You pay extra because normally they are better built , better insulated and better finishes than other brands
The word Seomra has become synonymous with outside cabin/living accommodation /office space because of the quality
Much the same way Hoover became the name for vacuum cleaners

Add in the extras listed to bring the longhouse up to seomra standards and it’s a lot more than the headline price

'Ticking the boxes' on the extras such as insulation and foundations etc. on the LogHouse brings the total cost closer to 10k - How does that compare to the Seomra version?

Does anyone know off the top of their head what percentage has Dublin property prices increased by ,looking for Nov '19 to Nov '20?(roughly) thanks

CSOs property price index tracks that. Dublin has dropped 1..8% overall in the last 12 months, regional breakdown is here if you want more specific info.

If any of it is bare wood when he gets it, tell him to soak every inch with some chemical noxious to wood lice or they will eat it out from under him.

Exact same interior just a different front. More expensive one is a terrace, other one is an end terrace.

Nuts!

TBF if I had the option of living here or here I know which I'd choose!

This 4 bed mid terrace sold for 325k a year ago.

https://propertypriceregisterireland.com/details/30_newcastle_manor_square_newcastle_dublin_22_co_dublin_ireland-423512/

And this 3 bed end of terrace sold for 280k recently

https://propertypriceregisterireland.com/details/28_newcastle_manor_square_newcastle_dublin_22_co_dublin_ireland-465393/

295k seems to me like a fairly on the ball asking price for what looks to be a well maintained 3 bed with a decent sized outbuilding.

Why? Because the front is more appealing to you? End Terrace would trump it for me..

I saw the other 2 you linked on the ppr. The 1 that sold for 325k had an attic conversion and a large extension, probably worth 50k in total. I think that's a huge increase in one year in that particular estate. You think it's fair value.me not so much.

I will eat my hat if that gets anywhere near that price
That is kite flying of the highest order
Another house in the same estate is 100k cheaper
That house at 490k needs a lot of work
For 490 you could buy a nearly turnkey in Brookwood/Rosemount
Christ you would get a FAIRLY modern turnkey house in St Brigids estate for that money

'Just off the malahide road" .......in central coolock.

Worth the money if it was in malahide maybe !

To be fair there are a lot estates and houses "Just off" the Malahide road
Some good some not so good
Griffith Avenue and Coolock village being an example of each

Of course , I just always laugh when I see these. Its almost like its just to get 'Maladhide' in the ad somewhere.

Saw it extensively with houses in clonsilla, a 'stones throw from castleknock'

Estate agent blurb
Blank canvas for the purchaser -in a heap and needs major work
Opportunity for a purchaser to put their own stamp on it -Knock it down and start it again

Another one springs to mind I remember, the house was described as Glasnevin north. It was in ballymun.

Never understood the lure of Castleknock . Couldn't justify paying them prices but each their own

Its the same as any premium location in Dublin tbh, but not as pricey as south Dublin, or indeed malahide.

Its the proximity to the park and the dart line. Pure and simple.
