Short-term speculators - I wonder how many of these are about.
We lost (Edit: opted out of) a bidding war on a €900,000 house in February, the deal went through a few weeks later. Driving past it today, Mrs. Whathome noticed that it had not been touched, weeds in the garden etc. So she cheekily stopped and took a closer look and it's vacant.
No building work, no furniture. It's exactly as it was in Feb. I'm not saying it was definitely a speculator however.
With IO mortgages I wonder if there are many people taking big short-term bets on Dublin property?
