IT’S been fewer than three years since Westlands, a fine older style home near Cork’s UCC last changed hands. But now with its owners gone abroad, it’s back for sale in a city property market that has a lot more wind in its sails than when they opted to buy.

It’s likely there’ll be a financial reward for their having bought at what was close to the bottom of the market, as seen from this current vantage point.
