If you missed last week’s round-up, you can catch up here: https://propertydistrict.ie/category/sunday-property-review/ 

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing carol@propertydistrict.ie.

 

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY NEWS (including PRS)

 

 

  • Another independent residential estate agency emerges as ‘Top DNG agents depart to set up rival in Dublin 6W’ – best wishes to Mullery O’Gara: “Pat Mullery and Deirdre O’Gara, two DNG stalwarts with more than 50 years in the trade between them, have departed the mothership to set up shop in the heart of their Dublin 6W stomping ground. The new agency, Mullery O’Gara will operate from a premises housed in the former Age Action shop in Terenure. It’s a dramatic departure. Mullery has a reputation as the undisputed King of Resi in the area, and the low-key Galway man has expertly steered countless buyers and sellers through hundreds of sales down the years. O’Gara meanwhile may be the younger of the two, but as manager for the last 12 years of DNG’s flagship agency in Terenure, she brings plenty of experience and market knowledge to the party. The pair’s departure is a blow for DNG which holds a strong presence in the suburb…” https://www-irishtimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/top-dng-agents-depart-to-set-up-rival-in-dublin-6w-1.4469033?mode=amp
