Re: Re: Cork: Architecture & Development

by the way got this great email the other day called “auctioneer lexicon revealed” and thought i might share some of the hidden meanings our good friends in the estate agents offices seem to use in their daily lingo.

cosy = small, cramped, ceiling a foot lower than the average human height.
handyman’s dream = at least 2 of its walls are still standing
rustic = see above
ideal first step on the property ladder or starter home = young people are so gullible
up and coming area = border up your windows with reinforced steel
within a stone’s throw… = using a catapult and a jet-pack
partially renovated = brand new 40w bulb in the kitchen
sought after = blank cheques only
easy access = new flyover being constructed directly over the house

i thought it was funny! and before anyone gets offended it came from an auctioneer so relax! hehe 🙂
