PJ1977 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 http://www.propertynews.com/brochure.php?r=1&c=1&s=103269031&i=0&p=17611048&fp=1&sort=h2l More than £150k has been knocked off this already, but if you're thinking of bidding don't take any nonsense from the agent. The vendor is an exceptionally well-paid former public servant who moved to a nice big property job in London a couple of months ago so he'll be keen to make a sale.

PJ1977 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 And I see the estate of the late John Creaney QC have put his enormous Cultra property on the market.

talksalot81 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Assuming that some of those on here are as wise as they proclaim... one would imagine that £1M+ houses are not that ridiculous. If one was savvy 15-20 years back.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ1977 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 A 1.1 million house advertised on Gumtree free ads http://belfast.gumtree.com/belfast/44/63440844.html Seems to be a few top end houses coming on the market There are currently two houses and an apartment for sale on Malone Park ('the most desirable address in Belfast' if you believe the EA patter), one of which is being sold by the owner of a major car dealership. A hotelier also has his place on Malone Park Central up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ1977 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 That new build in the Park is probably Kevin McKay, boss of Benmore, who had a long tussle with the planners before he could start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
