I have small question please .....................















Why is it that most houses up for sale are already vacated???

Is this the norm in Ireland??? if so why and how do they get round moving onto a new property - does everyone work on bridging loans or something ??

top of the morning to ya x

LOL - ya isny Irish Lorriane but good evening lol x

Everyone is queueing up to buy houses in Ireland now.... the Irish can't find a house to buy!

TROUBLE WITH POTS OF GOLD
EVERY RAINBOW
SOMEONE COMES LOOKING FOR IT

Right - lets try again this morning - see if this can stay near page 1 for more than 30 seconds lol

Have you asked the estate agents why so many are vacent possesion?

When I bought my first house in late 80's lots I viewed were empty due to high repossesions - but the estate agents would say it was a repo and usually there was some minor damage, people would take everything out - one had the bathroom smashed to smitherines - they obviously thought if they had paid to put it in no one else would get it.

Could also be due to high prices like some of Englands Seaside Towns. When people pass on the prices are too high for locals to buy so they are empty and normally bought as second homes by the out of towners.

Here in Sussex.................a lot of houses up for sale with vacant possession are because the owners are elderly and either they have died or gone into residential care.

Are there a lot of elderly in the area you are moving to?

I hope you do get a sensible answer..............but the other replies are really funny:)))))))

Hi Maddie & Kitty

Thanks for your replies :O)

See the thing is - I am searching a couple of sites across a good number of different towns/villages to see what is on the market and LOADS of them are empty.

And they certainly don't look like repos or as if they belonged to an elderly person who had passed - these are pukka looking places with immaculate interiors.

I did see something last night that there are a lot of repos going on due to a slump in prices and hike in interest rates so maybe that's it ?

Are they 'new' houses?

The Irish might not build estates but stick them all over the place. Or they could be those people on Grand Designs who DO run out of money.

*smiles sweetly*

Dont forget there is or was also a trend to do places up and rent them and or sell ... with the change in market at the moment its not a good time to invest in these projects so people may want to sell before they get into debt.

Julie - no they're not new houses hun .............

:O))


Maddie that's a good point too
