I wonder what percentage of those properties are on the market but getting zero interest due to the works involved to turn them back around into places people could live. Could be difficult to value for CPO purposes too.
 
But as already said a lot of these properties are in places people don't want to relocate to. Ignoring 200 year old main street places I wonder what the ghost estate situation is currently like.

that’s exactly it sausy.  You own a property in a town that requires major work to comply with health and safety and fire regulations etc and the demand for rental there would not pay you to spend all that money to renovate the house and you can find a better location for that money that will give you a better ROI. As a result the house is left.  

Someone who has the property but does not have the means to renovate.  Should they have the property taken off them by the state or should they pay high taxes on a derelict property they can’t use or renovate.  No easy answers that’s for sure and there will be lots of hard case stories.

I'm not sure many people want to be uprooted and shipped to rural Mayo, Leitrim or Roscommon. Although I could be wrong.

There are a ball of empty properties in the centre of Castlebar, and Claremorris and Swinford where I work. It would be fantastic to see them occupied, it would be great for struggling town centres to have people living there. 


Yeah, I can't link to it here but there's a good economist @seamuscoffey that goes through the data well on Twitter. Have a look for his tweet 5 days ago that starts with the bar chart, you might have 5%of the housing stock in Roscommon Leitrim etc vacant but that's off a low base. Less than 1% vacant in Dublin, so the state average is about 2%.

Then that number doesn't account for reason of vacancy, just that there was nobody there on census night, of the 30k vacant in Dublin for example...
- 4k for sale
- 5k being renovated
- 3k residents in hospital
- 3k recently deceased
- 1k new builds awaiting occupancy

So it's probably half of the headline figures are really long term vacancy

Just in terms of the towns I mentioned above, property in town centres in need of renovation get huge interest and sell very easily.

And a huge amount of the bigger town centre properties have been bought up by consortiums over the last number of years as investments etc and have just left the property to rot. I honestly think it's out of order. If there is a solid plan, fair enough. By 5, 10 years sitting idle isn't good enough. Especially when the properties are literally rotting in front of our eyes. 

@ Sausy, I don't think it's difficult to value these properties at all. Plenty of comparables available.

Really interesting numbers and just shows these things are never black and white.

If there are multiple empty main street properties for sale in the same town not selling then it would be difficult to value. But getting into commercial property valuations is going off track a bit here.

In the rural town I live in many of the main street properties are empty and rotting, when one is put up for sale, it sells almost immediately, sometimes the first time I notice the for sale sign it already has sale agreed slapped on it. If you owned a main street property that was too expensive to get in order, why would you not sell it?

I inherited one in West Clare, left by gran-aunts to all the cousins. The legal and paperwork required took us about 10 years to get off our hands. Most houses have folio details, title deeds etc, not our one that was built in the 1800's

Why did it take so long to sell? Did you all want to sell straight away after inheriting?

Outside of probate I have dealt with the purchase of a few in work and everyone has been a disaster. Reconstruction of deeds, endless qualifications on title, rights of way/easements over what is always a massive rear garden etc.

Mainly what Sauscy said, lots of legal issues to sort out, seemed to be never-ending.

And yeah, all 5 cousins wanted out once we inherited it. Between legal and tax bills on it, house sold for 120, ended up with a bout 10k each,
