FROM ESTABLISHED COMMUNITIES like Douglas and Carrigaline to commuter favourites like Watergrasshill and Glanmire, Cork has a lot to offer house-hunters. 

But demand in the “real capital” makes it one of the country’s most competitive housing markets. If you’re wondering how to stay one step ahead of the pack as you kick off your home hunt, we’re here to help.

The Feels Like Home Event with Glenveagh Homes and TheJournal.ie is heading south to Cork after a sell-out night in Dublin city. Join us at 6pm on Thursday September 12 at Millennium Hall in Cork’s City Hall for an evening of exclusive tips on how to tackle home buying like a seasoned pro. (Plus, there’ll be wine and nibbles on hand.)

On the night, you’ll hear from:

• Breffnie O’Kelly, buyer’s agent on how to streamline the house-hunting process 
• Dr Frank Crowley, economist, with expert insights on Cork’s housing market
• Ronan McKenna, sales director at Glenveagh Homes, on the up-and-coming Cork neighbourhoods to watch out for
• Albert Diggin, KBC area manager (south and south-west), on how to stay one step ahead in the mortgage application process
• And Darran Heaney, interiors expert and Home Of The Year 2019 contestant, on how he approached his enviable home makeover.

Tickets for the event are totally free, but registration is essential – you can do so on Eventbrite right here.

The night will close with an audience Q&A, and there’ll be a chance to chat face-to-face with the speakers and exhibitors afterwards.
