Buy now, move in later — tenants included

A HOUSE up for sale in Midleton’s very successful Castleredmond development has an unusual bonus — the option of taking on the rent roll from the existing tenant if it is going to be bought by an investor or a buyer not yet ready to make a house move.

Now, tenants don’t come with properties for life, but at a time of tightening in the rental market, one in the hand is worth two down the line.

No 6 Orchard Avenue in Castleredmond is a three-bed semi-detached home, built about four years ago on the east Cork town’s outskirts, just off the Whitegate roundabout at the far side of Midleton heading towards Trabolgan, the harbour’s amenities and scenic Ballinacurra.
