Following the completion of a recent structural survey, it has become evident that the property requires significant remedial works in order to meet current building standards. As a result, securing mortgage finance for the purchase is likely to prove challenging.
In the interest of transparency and to avoid any unnecessary expense or disappointment for prospective purchasers, we have taken the decision to offer the property for sale by online auction. This method ensures full clarity from the outset, with all legal documentation made available in advance.
Due to the nature of the works required and the timelines involved, the property is best suited to cash buyers.
Introduction
No. 25 Oaklawns presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-located family home in one of Carlow Town’s most convenient residential areas. Situated just off the Old Dublin Road, this property enjoys immediate access to Carlow Town Centre, national road networks and a wide range of local amenities, making it an ideal option for owner-occupiers, first-time buyers or investors alike.

The Property

Importantly, the home may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to the relevant terms and conditions, presenting a significant opportunity for buyers to enhance the property while availing of available supports.
