On track: refurbished two-bed on Cork’s Albert Road
Up for sale at an affordable level is the compact and handily-set two-bedroom city home, 58 Hibernian Buildings, Albert Road – a minute or two walk from the landmark Elysian tower and city hall.
It hit the market seeking €147,950, but is already under offer at €150,000, as it is within the comfortable buying reach of a wide cohort of first time buyers. At the €150,000 mark, if a prospective purchaser is chipping in around €25,000 of their own money for an 85% mortgage, monthly repayments will come in at €500 a month, say selling agents Dooley and Howard.
