For those of you that remember, Castlelands Construction were that outfit that were rumoured to be going bust last Summer. There’s a thread about it here that shouldn’t be too hard to find.
Now, the latest development they’re offering in Mallow and Midleton, they’re offering to pay the first years mortgage on any gaff bought.

First time I’ve heard them ever make an actual attempt to advertise (perviously, anything that was built was entirely sold off plans in a matter of weeks.).
Where did I here that company before, ah yes
John Barry of Castlelands Construction is one of the most successful developers in the county and recently joined the elite group of Irish people who own private jets.
FF councillor / auctioneer supported rezoning and then sold houses built on the lands
A Fianna Fáil member of Cork County Council has confirmed that he supported the rezoning of lands at Midleton and then, in his capacity as an auctioneer, sold the houses subsequently built on the lands.
Councillor Maurice Ahern (pictured) told Village that he supported the rezoning, three years ago, of lands at Banshane on the edge of the east Cork town. He was then commissioned as an auctioneer to sell the houses built on the land by Castlelands Construction.
According to Ahern, the lands were rezoned to residential in order to attract more people to the area and, in turn, to persuade the government to restore the disused railway connection to the town. “There had to be more numbers in the town to justify the railway so the pressure was on us to zone the land near the railway line,” Ahern said.
He said he was employed to sell the houses after the rezoning took place. “I was employed by Castlelands afterwards to sell the houses on the same basis as any auctioneer,” he said. >>>>

I wonder does he still have the plane or does the bank?
I’m surprised that they haven’t hit further trouble to be honest.
None of their developments are selling and I simply can’t see them shifting it any time soon. Too much property is out there and much of it is being more agressively cut.

Best get the discount in CASH because you have to pay gift tax on the mortgage payments otherwise .

I heard on the grapevine the banks moved in.
Good point.
Also, the valuation is going to reflect this ‘Incentive’ i.e. remove it from the market value of the house.
Desperation going round in circles, chasing its tail…
Not a surprise …

Maurice Ahern BTW is a brother of Michael Ahern, FF TD for Cork East and Junior Minister for something or other, who has refused to condemn his brother’s actions.
