Three storeys of good value
The development at Mallow, north Cork, has gone up an extra level to give home buyers three-storeys of living space instead of two - a sensible move, when land prices continue to sky-rocket.
As a result, the latest phase of homes at this development come to market with 1,800 and 1,900 sq ft of usable living space; it is another reason to celebrate the scrapping of the house-buyers grant, which arbitrarily capped many Irish homes at about 1,300 sq ft.
