Kinsale price cut for quick sale

KINSALE, despite its previously inflated prices and yacht and helicopter demographic, is a very good place to buy right now.

Number 3 Rosewell is a case in point. Back in the early noughties, this period terraced house changed hands in the mid-€800,000s and in the last two years it sold again for a sum in the mid to high €500,000s: now, it’s back on the market at a guide of €460,000.

Its retiree buyers have found somewhere else to live and are selling up to move — with the result that they’ve slashed the price for a quick sale.
