If the site is right, the house matters little

THE plot thickens, and amazingly, actual house values can diminish. Strange to hear it said, but given the right location, the house quality doesn’t much matter anymore, the value is all in the ground, the site, the plot, the view.

Given the right location, affluent Irish buyers are as equally prepared to build as extend, alter or to knock and build.

Playing right into their hands are two seaside Myrtleville sites, each of three-quarters of an acre, south facing and with views across Cork’s harbour mouth.
