The Creagh Lane properties at King’s Island
TWO derelict properties in the city centre which went on the market for a combined €90,000 are set to be sold for almost three times’ this value.
No 3 and No 4 Creagh Lane, on King’s Island were dubbed the cheapest homes in Limerick when they went to market earlier this year.
No 3 was on sale for €40,000, while neighbouring property was listed at €50,000.
The properties are both described as “derelict” and “in need of complete refurbishment works”.
Limerick City and County Council had acquired the properties compulsorily in July, 2020.
A sale was agreed for the two properties for a total of €255,000 in June.
But then the council withdrew them from sale, at the behest of Mayor John Moran, who said he wanted to explore keeping them in public ownership.
Ultimately, a sale has now been agreed with two buyers.
No 3 Creagh Lane is expected to be sold for €125,000 with its neighbour set to go for €135,000, both cash sales - €260,000 in total.
Two separate business people have agreed to buy the properties to accommodate their staff working nearby.
Councillors are expected to rubber-stamp the sale at a meeting later this month.
