NOT MUCH luck either for Lisney this week when it auctioned a promising property – Kwetu, a detached house on posh Sorrento Road in Dalkey. The house needed a good deal of work, but the AMV of €850,000 would have put it within reach of trader-uppers keen to get a foothold in the village. Though over a dozen people showed up to the auction yesterday, there were no bids and the house was withdrawn, and is now for sale . . . at €850,000.

Meanwhile in Galway O’Donnellan and Joyce sold a clutch of properties under the hammer last week. A one-bed house at 42 McDara Road, Shantalla, sold for €178,000; 6 Rivendell, a four-bed detached house between Highfield Park and Taylors Hill, made €360,000; 3 Loyola Pk, College Rd, a three-bed bungalow made €188,500; and 9 Brooklawn, Knocknacarra Rd, a six-bed house made, after auction, over €600,000 (AMV €595,000).
