Sunday Property Round-Up December 5th, 2021

 

Weekly Irish property market news and insights – for the industry, by the industry  

public consultation and community engagement

 

Before we get stuck into the general property news of the week, below are the local and international stories that might be of particular interest: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Request for help… It has been seven years since we built the first fully-compliant, shipping container home in the Republic of Ireland (Patrick Bradley’s stunning Grillagh House build was the first on the island of Ireland!) – and we’re doing it again. The Property District team is currently working to build a prototype off-grid, live-work container home as a model to support startup founders and entrepreneurs who cannot afford to pay Irish rents while renting an office space and building their businesses. Any help from the industry will be appreciated – especially in the form of skills, steel, insulation or glazing! Contact carol@propertydistrict.ie to get involved. Let the fun begin, again..

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice-to-text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

Season 4, Episode 11: Property Matters, November 30th, 2021 – Homebuyers Hero and Ility

This week on #PropertyMatters   iPropertyRadio.com I am joined by Colm Casey, CEO Homebuyer’s Hero in part 1 to discuss Ireland’s broken property processes, the lack of transparency when buying a home in Ireland, and what role proptech (property technology) can play in addressing this. Colm also talks about how homebuyers can play a part by working with homebuilders to de-risk new developments in rural villages and towns around the country.

In part 2, Marcus Moufarrige, CEO of ility (a no-code platform that connects new and legacy systems) joins us to discuss how building owners and operators can take control over their technology, operations and offer, to drive increased net operating income. It’s all about flexibility, profitability and sustainability!
