Houses and land in an unfinished housing estate will for the first time go under the hammer in an Allsop Space auction, to be held next month.

The three houses, which are complete apart from the installation of kitchens and bathrooms, and four acre site at Woodlands Park, Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, are being sold as one lot by receivers Kavanagh Fennell with a reserve not exceeding €40,000.

The lot is one of 106 up for sale at the auction at the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin on May 3rd. The auction is no longer considered a “distressed sale” the company said as some 50 of the properties are being sold on behalf of private individuals, instead of receivers.

Five pubs and hotels, some with prominent city centre locations, are among the lots for sale.
