Costs of existing houses & apartments for purchase in Dublin are extortionate.

What is equally incredible is the amount of work many of these potential homes need.

Sure, many are liveable & have good locations, however most will require new owners to sink extra €€€.

Take this B3 BER rated home in Harold’s Cross advertised at €695,000 for example:

The cost per sqm for this house is over €5,000. If you were to consider renovating this house for a conservative figure of say €800/sqm, you’ll need an extra €100k.

2/22
Let’s see Phibsboro:
€350,000 for 65sqm, E1 BER (€5300 per sqm)

Same deal: upgrade windows,replace floors, new kitchen, bathroom, paint, at a dubiously low figure of €800 and we’re looking at a property that will send you well over €400k.

1. #HomeOwnership Update

The ceilings in two rooms are now fully painted, two coats, and they don't look half bad.

I may actually be able to do this.

We've had to stop painting for a bit to start moving furniture.
2. It is near impossible to find a rental vehicle or moving van, but we managed to find a flatbed truck... However, we only have it until 5 p.m. today. I'd say we have about two more full loads, but we'll have to take the bed apart to get it downstairs.

That'll be a big job.
3. Fortunately, we still have until noon on the 31st to clean up the old place, and rent a carshare for the few things that can still be packed in boxes, so we don't have to be 100% moved by 5 p.m.
