Hello everyone,
Just wanted to say I'm very glad to join an interesting and informative community. I enjoyed reading this post:
//www.diynot.com/forums/building/victorian-house-movement.367099/
I am interested in purchasing a Victorian property on the North Circular Road in Dublin, Ireland.
I would welcome the idea of rescuing one of Victorian Dublin's few remaining town house's in near original condition before it is carved up into bedsits.
What is the reality of such a purchasing such a property?
What challenges can we expect?
At the moment the original sash windows are installed and there is no central heating system bar a few electrical storage heaters. What are the experience's in keeping these houses at a comfortable temperature?
I note some cracking in the outside render shown by the red lines in the attached picture. Obviously we would have this assessed by a surveyor but how does one know what is serious when taking a first look?

Many thanks!
