Quaint Mayo home on sale for shockingly low price of €49,500 - but there is one HUGE catch

A QUAINT bungalow is on the market for a shockingly low price - but there is one big catch.

The stunning three bedroom home - located in Claremorris, Co Mayo - is an absolute bargain, costing just €49,500.

The house also comes with full planning permission granted for a new extension with no clauses.

The full planning permission includes one bathroom, one bedroom, kitchen, utility living and dining room.

But there's one big catch in that the back of the house has been upended by the previous owners.

The house is a fixer-upper in need of desperate renovations but allows the new owner the freedom to put their own stamp on it.

This comes as a cottage in Leitrim was on sale for the low price of €95,000 - but came with a big catch.

The stunning house located in Carrigallen in Leitrim is an absolute bargain, coming with over 14 acres of land.

LEITRIM FIND

The cottage has a gorgeous laneway entrance and all the fields are divided into small parcels.

There is only one small catch - the toilet is outside so prospective owners will need to prepare for some plumbing work to get an indoor bathroom up and running.

The house is featured on the popular Instagram page CheapIrishHouses which joked they weren't sure if the tractor, parked out the front in pictures, came with the cottage.

Maggie Molloy, who runs Cheap Irish Houses and presents the RTE show of the same name, said: "Before you ask.. no, I don’t know if the tractor is included in the sale.

"I can tell you what is included with this one though.. 14.45 acres of land, a cottage with electricity connected, a private spring well, stone outbuildings, an outside toilet & a waste treatment system!

"That’s a whole lot for €95k! The cottage has a beautiful laneway entrance & all the fields are divided into small parcels too.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Earlier this month, Crazy House Prices podcast host Ciaran Mulqueen said he was so desperate to get on the property ladder that he began to think outside the box.

He revealed how he dropped a “nice letter” through the seller's letter box in a bid to stand out from other buyers.

He told the Irish Sun: “We started looking for our home four years ago and even then, I was shocked at the prices, and thought I would start an Instagram page to highlight the madness.”

Ciaran warned buyers need to be very lucky and it could be a very sensitive issue for some people.

He advised home hunters to write a letter explaining their situation.

He posted: “The key here is getting the house before it goes to the estate agent.”
