Prices dropping as vendors chase quick sale

PRICE reductions for quicker house sales are being flagged for city and county Cork properties.

In west Cork, a small builder/developer has pared back a sizeable €100,000 from a 3,200 sq ft re-build now down to a handy €450,000 for an architect-designed extension of distinction, while a Sheep’s Head farmhouse at Kilcrohane has come from €350,000 to €299,000 for a quick sale.

And, the investor owners of a four-bed house at 10 Wren Bank, Mount Oval Village in Rochestown are prepared to drop €80,000 for a quick sale too. With vacant possession, it could suit a buyer in a hurry.
