This house costs less than an SUV and there is no hiding why

This house costs less than an SUV. A glance inside reveals why.

The buyer will have to go off the campaign images and agent advice because the home is so “congested” with belongings, inspections are not possible due to poor safety. Doors are blocked by  mountains of things, crammed into every available inch.

Listed with a guide of €25,000 (about $AU41,400) the property is in Ireland and consists of a derelict church and crumbling clergy house.

The debris consists of old furniture, paintings and garbage, stuffed into rooms with peeling wallpaper and exposed ceilings.

In parts, the pile is greater than human height.

Agents advise in the listing that the estate in Charleville, County Cork, has long been vacant and in this condition. It will need to be gutted and restored, given it has heritage protection under Irish law.

“The property is in need of complete refurbishment,” the UK-based listing advises.

“It is not possible to view the interior as the property is completely congested with contents and would be unsafe to enter. The property is being sold as is. Both buildings were constructed in the early nineteenth century and are protected structures listed on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.”

Hoarder homes in Australia have a history of attracting big dollars despite their dire state.

A buyer paid $3.85 million – above expectations – for one such property in inner Sydney last year.

Listed for $3.4 million by agency Montano Group, the four-bedroom, one-bathroom home sold under the hammer.

The vendors, who are sisters, cleared out as much as they could from the ramshackle inner-city terrace prior to auction, which was packed to the ceiling with their late father’s belongings. The home had been in the same family for several decades.

Their dad hoarded out 43 Windsor Street before they inherited it, agent John Cannizzaro, of agency Montano Group, told Nine.

The listing advised wearing safety footwear in the multimillion-dollar relic, which hit the market for the first time in 70 years.

Photos reveal the home’s peeling wallpaper, exposed brickwork and furniture that’s still packed high.

“It was literally full to the ceiling, and I did not see it when it was that bad,” Cannizzaro previously told Nine.
