Lower Blackrock price to attract buyer

A FOUR-BEDROOM semi-detached home in Blackrock, Cork for €310,000? The price level, manageable for some first-time buyers, but primarily an easy step up for traders-up out of smaller houses or apartments, means that estate agent Jarlath Boy of Savills is confident of finding a buyer for 72 Gate Lodge, off Cork’s Castle Road.

This property, vacated by a family who’ve made a job move to Dublin, first came up for sale this month last year, guiding €390,000. It didn’t find a buyer, and was taken off the market as a result.

Now vendors have slashed the price of their Cork home for a quick sale.
