DUBLIN: The Department of Housing has found that there is a growing trend among people in Ireland to decide on home sales without even seeing them online. Due to the low availability of houses, people are booking houses as soon as they hear that houses are available somewhere.
However, the Irish Housing Department advises that someone looking to buy or rent a home should look at the homes in advance, at least online. The guidelines were officially released by the department last month.
Accordingly, agents are required to provide the opportunity to see the home in person only if people enter into a lease agreement or contract of sale. Despite the accusation that such a proposal is to help some agents, estate agents argue that it is also beneficial for home seekers due to the limited availability of housing.
Meanwhile, Conn Nagle, director of Global Properties Ltd. in Cork, said people are happy with their online home visits. Homes will be shown to those in need through the 3D Virtual Tour. They can buy or rent houses if they are interested. He added that the houses are being shown live only for those who are most interested.
Myhome.ie, Daft.ie also host 3D virtual home tours. This will allow you to see the whole house and its surroundings, Mr. Nagle said.
Meanwhile, Angela Keegan, managing director of Myhome.ie, said that the housing market is undergoing major changes and that only a handful of homes are being sold without being seen directly.
Some people are happier to see properties online. This trend will rise in the future. However, those who want to buy a home will continue to want to see the home in person. He added that there are now many technologies available to make it easier for people to see homes online.
