There’s a bit of a lull right now in Cork’s residential house market, it appears, be it as a result of Central Bank lending, post-Budget/pre-Christmas hiatus, Brexit or even Irish political uncertainty.

THERE will be chequebooks in hand and queues to the doors at 4 Fernwood, a mid-terraced and manageable mature period-style home on the Douglas Road in Cork - just a mile from the city centre.
