Cottage priced under exemption limit

LOOKING for a turnkey cottage? Then this overhauled and improved cottage at Finnis, Bandon, in West Cork could be just the ticket.

A pet project of the vendors, the house has the bone structure, but needs serious surgery to bring it bang up to date.

Now that its mission is completed, the property is on the market with auctioneeers Sherry FitzGerald Brennan Busteed for €317,500, just under the exemption limit for first-time buyers, which means that the property is, in fact, aimed to sell at that price.
