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.

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.

We’re very pleased to share our new #HousingRightsInPractice report. This shares lessons learned from four years working with local people in Leith to use #HumanRights to tackle poor housing [1/7]

Using a model first developed by @PPR_Org in Belfast, #HousingRightsInPractice supported local people to secure improvements in their housing by advocating for their #RightToHousing and other #HumanRights. [2/7] Quote attributed to UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: “The right to housing should be seen as the right to live somewhere in security, peace <br />
and dignity.”
The report shows how the project had a positive impact on key aspects of people’s #RightToHousing - and their other #HumanRights too. #HousingRightsInPractice [3/7] Quote attributed to Leith resident and project participant: “What I have learned is massive, and it’s not just about housing. If you have an adequate house it reduces your fuel poverty, which means you are not starving or cold, which impacts on health in a positive way.”
