Cork Property Thread

I know of some people who live in that estate and they don’t have any issues with subsidence/ needed underpinning.

The estate was built in the 60’s? so I’m sure the houses affected by subsidence would be evident by now which would be flagged by the engineers in their report when purchasing anyways

Seems to be luck of the draw when it comes to issues with subsidence especially in Cork

More than likely the asking price of €425k is to drum up interest

this went for 365k - 70k over asking so Market still hot but then location is good for this one !

46 Friars Road, Turners Cross, Turners Cross, Co. Cork is for sale on Daft.ie

this one then went for 330k few roads down - 9 Congress Road,Turners Cross,Cork,T12N99E - Sherry FitzGerald Cork - 4575670 - MyHome.ie Residential

Not sure what asking was but I pass there alot and remember it was Sale agreed within weeks it went up for sale.

It's strange as it is significantly more than previous houses have gone for and doesn't seem to be the show house. The auctioneer wasn't very forthcoming on details when I enquired to see if it is the show house, but the ad seems to confirm that it isn't.

@SarahPL

I know of one house you can definitely hear the link from the back of their house, especially in the back bedrooms (they have dbl glazed windows). They were advised to get triple glazed windows for the back of the house to help with the noise levels which would be of no help in the heat if you want to leave the windows open.

It would personally annoy me but they say they have got used to it

It is a lovely estate

Elmbury, Carrigtowhill launch on 12-Sep

Heathfield, Ballincolog launch on 13-Sep

Heard the next phase of Janeville sold within an hour of launch.

Uh, when was last phase of Elmbury and Janeville? Oh, btw, anyone want to give a shot at guessing new prices for Heathfield and Elmbury?:)

I thought Heathfield won't go over prices in last phase (April) but I'm not so sure anymore...

For Heathfield - my guess is that 4bed will be 455, just to be (on purpose!) out of reach for FH scheme.

For 3bed to go over 390k is just insane. Need to mention they asked for permission to change 6 houses which should have been 3bed to 4 bed with explanation that ppl are working from home and it is more appropriate. Yup, more appropriate for their pocket.

None of them have an En-Suite. I think we should lower expectations since it’s an affordable house?

Don't know much about the area but I was trying to understand why they've not included it. 4 Bedrooms and just one bath as smaller 80-90sq mtr unit have 2 these days?

New phase @ Elmbury Carrigtowhill launched today.

3-Bed Semi (113 Sq.m) @ 350k

4-Bed Semi (121 Sq.m) @ 380K

4-Bed Detached (170 Sq.m) @ 500K

Prices have gone up by 15k in the last 3 months for the Semi-D.

I recall Heathfield prices were 390k & 440k for 3 & 4 beds respectively in the last phase. I guess today's booking at Elmbury might give them some direction, however, I think prices will go up by 10k as this is the time that most money can be made.

Heathfield new phase was launched today- 3-Bed Semi @ 400k and 4-Bed Semi @ 450k. An increase of 10K since the last phase launched in April 2022.

Thoughts on a North-West facing garden??

We are second time buyers looking to size up, we have found a property that ticks all the boxes except for the fact that garden faces North-West. Our current house has a small garden, and it’s one of the key reasons we are moving, we have two small kids and want a larger outdoor space for them. Hoping since it’s North west it might get slightly more light than if it was fully North? We went to look at it at 1.30pm last week and it had lots of sun in garden but it wasn’t reaching the kitchen/dining room, not sure if it would at any time
