During the reign of the late lamented Celtic Tiger one of the more extreme but quite common trends in the property world was the growth of a sector where eager buyers regularly bought perfectly good houses and immediately applied for planning permission to demolish them in order to then build a ‘dream home’ on site. In latter years this had become a very commonplace occurrence, largely prompted by the dearth of really good sites in prime locations. While the steam has gone out of the ailing market and the wrecker’s ball is seldom seen in these straitened times, the basic fact remains that good sites are scarcer than the proverbial hen’s teeth.
With this in mind, leading city based auctioneer Property Partners Maxwell and Heaslip is confident that its new listing of a very well positioned, large site of over a third of an acre, set in the heart of the best residential area in Salthill, will attract considerable interest when it goes under the hammer on June 26 next.
With a first-class location, within 100 metres of Salthill Promenade and in a mature settled area consisting of mainly detached residences, this superb site will be a perfect setting for a large family home with all amenities within a short stroll. “What a super place to live,” says selling agent James Heaslip. “Everything is on your doorstep, practically — schools, shops, the Prom, Salthill centre, it’s all there — and the size of the site really lends itself to a wide variety of great house types.” Outline planning permission is in place for a house of up to 420sq m with access from Rockbarton Road.
The agent has full details of the planning and maps, and says the AMV of €700,000 is a very attractive and realistic one.
