Dublin estate agent Michael Turley expects considerable interest in one of Greystone’s most successful creches when it goes on sale for €1.3 million, equating to a yield of 9.23 per cent.
The ground and first floor premises of the Little Explorers Creche in the Charlesland Centre were developed in 2004 and have a bright and comfortable fit-out, with a mixture of open plan classrooms, kitchenette, small cellular rooms and a private yard/breakout area to the rear. The current rent of €120,000 is subject to a fixed uplift to €130,000 in 2023, when the yield will move to 10 per cent.

Ex-property agent’s terrorist attack
Former Savills Ireland managing director Paul McNeive is about to demonstrate that 30 years in the estate agency business can prove to be a good grounding for a fiction writer. This week he launched his new novel, The Manhattan Project, which carries the names of many of his contacts as well as at least half a dozen well known Irish estate agents and developers. The book, about a bio-terrorism attack on New York, has been published in Ireland and the UK. Translation rights have already been sold to several countries, including Germany.
