Starter Home: Tower, Cork, €195,000

At its first showing on Monday this detached house at 70 Primrose Hill in Tower and near Blarney got an offer of €5,000 in excess of the asking price of €195,000.

Selling agents Humphrey Hogan say the 1,300 sq ft property is in good condition and that the location, within walking distance of Tower village and within easy reach of Cork city, and Ballincollig, makes the Primrose Hill estate very popular.

VERDICT: Expected to sell very quickly indeed
