Offering a 5-bedroom condo in Dublin at an asking price of €529,000. The stated floor area is approximately 210 m², and the home is described as being in average-to-good condition. Viewings are available by appointment.

Points requiring particular attention include verification of the floor area, energy performance and any rental regulation relevant to the buyer’s intended use. Questions about title documents, service charges, condition, included fixtures and parking are welcome here before documents or a viewing are requested.
 
The service charge is the first missing number for me. What is the current amount, what does it cover, and are any substantial works or extra contributions under discussion? With a condo of this size, the annual charge could materially change the overall cost.
 
How was the approximate 210 m² measured? It would help to know whether that is internal usable space or includes storage, balconies or any share of common areas. I would want the measurement information compared with the title plan rather than relying on the listing figure alone.
 
I would not assume that a title plan by itself verifies usable floor area. The sensible approach is to request both the title material and whatever supports the 210 m² figure, then compare them. “Average-to-good condition” is also broad—are there condition notes identifying rooms, finishes or systems that need attention?
 
Before arranging an appointment, I would ask for the energy performance rating, parking arrangement and a clear list of included fixtures. Anyone considering rental use should also clarify the applicable Dublin and Irish rules for this particular property and intended arrangement, rather than treating five bedrooms as five automatically rentable rooms.
 
That last point raises a layout question: are all five rooms currently set up and presented as bedrooms, or has another living space been counted? A floor plan would make the size and room use much easier to understand without needing sensitive documents posted publicly.
 
Also, “parking” needs a precise answer. Is there a space tied to the condo, an allocated space, shared parking, or none included in the €529,000 asking price? Any restrictions or separate charges would be useful to know before a viewing.
 
Adding one practical item to my earlier questions: please distinguish fixtures included in the sale from movable items merely visible during a viewing. Built-in storage, kitchen appliances and light fittings can otherwise become points of confusion later. Available appointment days or general viewing windows would also help people decide whether to request one.
 
Questions in the thread are reasonable, but serious interest will eventually depend on documents rather than listing answers. A useful staged approach would be: clarify service charges, parking, layout and energy performance here; view the property; then have the floor-area support and title documents examined through the appropriate Irish conveyancing process. The asking price and stated size alone are not enough to assess the purchase.
