Pick up a cheap offering from these city pads

NOT pretty to look at, any of them, but pretty damn cheap as a compensating factor, is this clutch of basic Cork homes, offered at prices not really seen in the city for quite a few years. In fact, you could almost get a job-lot of all four city pads for around €280,000 — which was the price of a single standard city apartment a couple of years ago.

Appealing to the builder, or DIYer, this selection of four do-er uppers are priced at €65,000 to €75,000 — but that’s before you start the renovation budget.
