O’Donnellan & Joyce’s final spoilt for choice property auction will be held tomorrow (Friday ) at 3pm in the Victoria Hotel, Eyre Square.
The auction received a massive boost in the Budget when the Minister for Finance outlined the exemption from Capital Gains Tax for investors who purchase properties and hold them for seven years. This significant change in legislation is bound to attract investors along with an increase in mortgage interest relief for first time buyers.
The O’Donnellan & Joyce auction this Friday includes a substantial number of residential and commercial investment properties along with country family homes. According to Colm O’Donnellan there is tremendous variety on offer in this auction with incredible discount values. The changes provided in the Budget, along with a reduction in the interest rates, make these properties even more attractive. The following is a list of the properties on offer.
