Don't forget they're moving from the States, where 6,000 sq ft is now de rigeur among certain classes.
Was in a 6,000 sq. ft. "English Country Cottage" in North Carolina a couple of years back. It was pretty hilarious actually.
That's exactly what I meant- the area figure is still relevant in that a Floor Area Certificate (for Stamp duty purposes) is still issued based on the magic figure of 125 sq. m.As regards the 'grant-sized house', in Ireland, you are exempt from stamp duty on a new house under 1350sq ft if you are a first time buyer or owner occupier. The now defunct first time buyer's grant of €3000 was also paid in these circumstances - I assume that's what Carpenter meant?
To state the obvious - 5000 sq ft is huge! Was recently in a house of 3300sq ft and you would need a massive family to use even that much space!
