Starter homes

Ballincollig, Cork €115,000

Auctioneer Garry O’Donnell of ERA Downey McCarthy reckons he has the cheapest three-bed home around Ballincollig on his books as he quotes €115,000 for 115, Carrig Lee. The mid-terrace home is a few minute walk to all of Ballincollig’s burgeoning services, as well as being close to the access road to the by-pass, and has the amenity Ballincollig Regional Park and the Lee almost to the rear.

The agent says it’s ideal for first time buyers, or a trader-down, and it is currently rented, producing €750 per month if there’s investor interest.
