WILF 47,401 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 That does seem ridiculously cheap , €85000 that's less than £74000. .. my pals youngest son just parted with £300,000 for a one bed flat in Leytonstone that needs god knows how much spending on it ... And no water charges, council tax €90 a YEAR........it's mental cheap when you have been having your pants pulled down in England all your life mate and no work either Nobody is starving here mate let me tell you, everyone is driving round in late motors, living in nice houses.........like in most places, there's always something to do. But they are a canny old mob, if everyone thinks the place is f****d then that probably suits them just fine where do they find work then wilf I just googled Charlestown sounds grim no work since the trains stopped going there in the 70s and there is even a book about it called the death of a town and unemployment is high By the way, don't beleive everything you read.......Charlestown is very nice 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Not too far from me, there's loads at that sort of money around the west. Not for long with all you yuppie immigrants coming over driving prices up!! Haha, fecking immigrants ! Lol.......they would take 60 for that there. In fact I can see it's on with the local agent who I play football with and who I bought my house off. Word of caution for any prospective buyers who currently live in a metropolitan area........the west of ireland is definitely NOT metropolitan. Like watching clips on youtube?......forget it, it's all dial up speeds round here. They call it broadband.......bless em ! Lol Didn't know you were only up the road from me...
