Irish property market

On another note, viewing a house in Firhouse next week.
Asking is 230k. Reckon it will go for 280k

265k that was a great price. Would love to buy there. The 4 beds are gorgeous.

No trouble whatsoever. Wouldn't even know they were there.

The 15b is a long enough route max it would take is 50 mins and that's in bad traffic. The 15 is grand.

It's little more than 30 minutes on a bike in of a morning. It's mostly downhill.

By bleakness do you mean, gorgeous countryside with mountains etc.     So you are saying if more houses were built there it would make it nicer

No, I mean there's far too many "unfinished" bits like this http://goo.gl/maps/Ty1lV

As ya said, there's lovely countryside around there, just a lot of eyesores blocking the view.

Agree with you on that. The random roundabouts where there's nothing is a little off putting but at least woodstown shops are only down the road. Deane Bro's built stocking wood and they went into NAMA 2 years ago so can't see them finishing up the development anytime soon.

Talk about out of the way.  If you worked in town would be a bloody nightmare getting from there to work every day.     Actually Baldy you're right, it's a horrible area. Halting site near by not to mention the gerk family home and the counts gaff only down the road. If I were you not I only wouldn't I look at buying out here I'd avoid visiting also.
