Donegal Offers: 'Buy One House Get One Free'

A Donegal estate agent has picked up the supermarket slogan of 'buy one get one free'- yes that's right buy one house get another free.

Auctioneer Brendan McGlynn, has a number of houses in Donegal on his books and if customers buy one for €100,000 he will throw in another, free of charge.

Two sets of properties went on the market in Letterkenny and Milford at that price with a third set of semi-detached homes being offered for €120,000.

The house at No 28 Coopers Crest in Milford is a three-bedroom semi-detached home with a fitted kitchen, fireplace and a garden. And anyone prepared to fork out €100,000 for the home will get No 29 absolutely free.

The same deal is on offer for four-bedroom semis No 41 and No 42 Gleann Rua in Letterkenny, with No 37 and No 38 slightly more expensive at €120,000.

Estate agent Brendan McGlynn from donegalproperty.com said: "This isn't a ghost estate sale. In all cases, these are the last properties on these estates and the developer wants to get them sold so that the estates are finished."

He added: "There is nothing worse than seeing a few vacant houses on an estate when the rest of the area is looking well and people are living happily together.

"It brings the tone of the area down and that’s part of the idea for doing this offer. This could be the perfect opportunity for two young families."
