all the houses that look like that in the south of ireland i've seen with "pre-1963" on the for sale signs. why that? because that was the year which they put in basic minimum standards (i.e. rooms have to be a certain minimum size). so if you buy a place that was before that you are effectively grandfathered in, and greedy boomer landlords and kike reit funds love buying up those kinds of properties because they can squeeze in like 20 to a house and charge them all rent. you can actually see from the side of the house, they used these large wooden beams to support the roof, which couldn't take the strain. beams move, push over the brick. who wants to bet that this wood is like ~60 years old and not treated properly. you know when the slates blow off and they're not replaced, the water that gets in from the rain (which we get often) will very often wreak havoc on the untreated wood.
