With Section 23 apartment schemes selling particularly well in Dublin city centre, Keane Mahony Smith is now taking bookings for the last four units in Aston House, near the Virgin Magastore at Aston Quay, Dublin 2. Five other units, including two penthouses costing £300,000 each, have already been sold by agent Cathal McGinley. Most of the apartments have superb views over the Liffey. All of them are larger than usual with 10 ft high ceilings. They are finished to a particularly high specification with Shaker-style kitchens, fully tiled bathrooms and kitchens, solid beech doors and built-in wardrobes. All floors are served by a lift.

There is a two-bedroom apartment available with 670 sq ft and a price tag of £205,000. Another two two-bedroom units with 900 sq ft on the second and fourth floors are priced at £235,00 and £245,000. At the top end of the market, the agents are quoting £310,000 for what is called a "triplex" apartment, an elegant home on three levels with three bedrooms and a total floor area of 1,200 sq ft. All the homes qualify for Section 23 tax breaks.
