The West Cork Property scene can sometimes be compared to the movement of people in North America of the mid 19th century.
Just as the pioneers began to head West in their stagecoaches in search of peace, prosperity and security, so many people from further East are doing the same thing in West Cork, as they seek out the Sheep’s Head Peninsula and the Beara Peninsula in search of peace & quiet and securing a property.
Very often, one of the first staging posts is Bantry itself. Every day in our office, the door swings open (I think it might be an idea to install a saloon door for the busy months) and the latest prospect swaggers in, looking for some information and assistance to help him/ her in his quest. Most times, it’s peaceful with nothing much to get excited about. But there come times when all hell can break loose: One guy looks at another guy the wrong way, they’re both after the same house, and… before you know it, one of them pulls out a powerful offer before the other guy can get his hands on his own piece. Other times, there’s a great big shoot-em-up, with offers flying in from all directions. But when the dust settles, there’s always only one man left standing. He calmly takes the keys, gets on his trusty steed and moseys off into the sunset until he finds the back road that leads to his dream home.
