Starter homes: Douglas, Cork €169,500

Sq m: 110 (1,189 sq ft)

Only a week or so on the market, and already No 5 Pembroke Mews in Cork’s Douglas (near the church and the old bridge/narrow flyover) has offers in over its €169,500 asking price via agents Homefinders.

The modern, c 1990s three-bed semi-d has been both private home and rental in the last several ownerships, and interest in it to buy once more is coming from both camps — it’s always rented well thanks to location and condition.
