Builder buys scheme

A housebuilder has paid in excess of the €1 million guide price for a partially built housing development in Baltinglass, Co Wicklow.

Knight Frank handled the sale of the 32 houses in varying stages of completion within the established Ardglass development.

According to the agent, 14 of the houses were substantially completed.

Finin O’Driscoll of Knight Frank said a finished showhouse would be a substantial selling aid.
