First-timers can go with the flow at relaunched Clarendon Brook niche

These smart contemporary homes in an attractive location are on offer for less than 40% of their original price, writes Tommy Barker

Things were ominously starting to unravel in the Irish property market in July 2007 when Clarendon Brook was launched — and in these pages we noted “given the current property market travails and inertia, there’s probably no perfect time to launch a new development... you might as well do it in the summertime lull as any other period”.

Well, roll on 20 seasons of lull (which at just may now be lifting given a comparatively good summer 2012 of sales) and still-attractive Clarendon Brook is relaunched after a spruce-up — and the good news for buyers is price, price, price.
