A THREE-STOREY, three-bathroom, three-bedroomed house with a price handily below €300k is on offer at an asking price of €290,000 at Ballincollig’s Old Quarter.

A NEW market arrival in Ballincollig’s Old Quarter scheme is 122 Coopers Grange, said by its selling agent Tom O’Keefe to be “a gorgeous end-of-terrace, roomy three-bed home.”

TWO years on, and not only has the penny dropped about local property pricing and comparative values, but the market overall has dropped too.

DERELICTION is being done away with: local authorities are moving on abandoned properties and those with title issues, prepared to move mountains of legal paperwork to get rid of scars on city and village streets.
