- Major roadway access: The property benefits from swift vehicular access to the N11 and M50 motorways, facilitating convenient travel across Dublin and beyond.
- Landscaped front garden: The front garden features a neat combination of lawn and gravel, contributing positively to the property's initial curb appeal.
- Turnkey presentation: The beautifully presented interior requires no urgent cosmetic renovations, allowing buyers to move in smoothly without immediate disruption.
But keep in mind:
- Compact floor area: Measuring only 82 square meters, the home offers limited overall interior space, which might feel restrictive for larger or growing households.
- Single bathroom constraint: Having only one bathroom serving all three bedrooms can create morning bottlenecks for family members and visiting guests.
- Single-layer glazing check: Buyers should verify whether all windows are uniformly double-glazed or if older frames remain in concealed areas of the house.
- Planning permission expiry: The buyer's solicitor must check the exact expiration date and compliance conditions of the existing planning permission for extensions.
- Boiler warranty verification: Purchasers should request service records and warranty details for the newly installed condenser boiler to ensure proper installation compliance.
- Electrical system review: Given the age of typical suburban housing stock, an independent electrical survey should be conducted to check the fuse board and wiring.
- Attic insulation depth: The buyer should inspect the attic space to confirm current insulation levels meet modern standards for optimal energy retention.
- Boundary line clarity: A thorough title check should confirm that the garden boundaries and rear pedestrian access path align correctly with the Land Registry map.
- Artificial grass longevity: The artificial turf in the rear garden will eventually require replacement, so buyers should assess its current wear and tear.
- Parking availability review: The listing does not detail dedicated off-street parking, so buyers must investigate local street parking rules and permit requirements.
- Surface water drainage: Prospective buyers should inspect the landscaped gardens and shed area during heavy rain to ensure proper surface water drainage away from the structure.
- Sound insulation checks: Semi-detached or terraced configurations in this development should be assessed for party wall sound insulation levels.
- Ventilation in shower room: The internal or external ventilation of the modernized shower room should be checked to prevent potential moisture buildup and mold issues.
- Extension construction costs: Buyers planning to utilize the planning permission should budget for current high construction inflation and contractor availability in Dublin.
- BER verification: The validity of the BER rating certificate should be cross-referenced against SEAI databases to ensure all stated upgrades are officially recorded.
- Local traffic congestion: Proximity to major transport corridors like the N11 and M50 may result in localized peak-hour traffic noise and congestion.
- Appliance lifespan uncertainty: Integrated kitchen appliances are included in the sale, but their remaining operational lifespan should be tested during the pre-purchase survey.
- Single bedroom size: Bedroom three is a single room with limited floor space, making it better suited as a home office or nursery rather than a child's bedroom long-term.
- Storage limitation check: Beyond the understairs storage and fitted wardrobes, overall internal storage capacity is modest and may require creative organizational solutions.
- Property tax assessment: Buyers should verify the current Local Property Tax band associated with this specific valuation to calculate accurate ongoing ownership costs.
