WHOLESALE demolition of unfinished and unsellable houses in unpopular locations might be on the cards post-NAMA — but, in advance of that, a west Cork builder has done his own, small-scale pulldown of partially-built houses.

A PRICE drop of between 25% and 30% — a hugely significant €150,000 —has been applied to the last couple of big houses on Skibbereen’s posh Baltimore Road.

Tommy Barker says this Skibbereen scheme ticks the right boxes.

SEA views will notch up the guide price of any coastal property and this house at Bawnlahan, Skibbereen, in West Cork is no exception.
