House of the week: A home likely to fly on Blackrock Road, Cork

THE last Richmond, Blackrock Road house that featured in these pages ended its editorial exposure with the verdict “Likely to fly.”

That applied to a mid-1900s’-built four-bed semi-d, No 8 Richmond, which went to market in September 2018, with a €390,000 AMV quoted by Rose Property Services. It has just surfaced, and buoyantly so, on the Price Register, less than a month ago, and shows that No 8 fetched €410,000, and that was for a house done up about a decade ago by its vendors. Given how long legals normally take, it appears to have found new ownership hands in pretty smart order.
