Several properties across Cork, Ireland, are drawing interest from a range of buyers, including young first-time buyers, downsizers and investors. No 7A Upper Convent Road in Blackrock, a 1900s-built mid-terrace house located within walking distance of Blackrock pier, is being marketed at €235,000. Increased interest is also being shown in 24 Rocklands in Carrigtwohill. The modern three-bed semi is being sold through Colbert & Co at a guide price of €345,000 and has already attracted a bid from an unseen buyer. Tine Si, No 25 Evergreen Buildings in Cork city centre, is a Victorian end-of-terrace property that has been reroofed in recent years and has a gas boiler; it is expected to be of interest to buyers looking to get their foot on the property ladder. At €225,000, it has been described as “as affordable as city properties get”. Meanwhile, 40 Willow Grove in Ballincollig, which is on sale for €340,000, is attracting attention from diverse potential buyers, including overseas workers struggling to find rental properties.
