Buy one house get one free!

Just as long as they don't do "buy 2 get one free", because that puts me off buying one.

The advertising slogan ‘buy one, get one free’ – usually associated with supermarkets – has been picked up by an Irish estate agent.

Auctioneer Brendan McGlynn, from Donegal, has a number of houses on his books and if you buy one for just over £85,000, he will throw in another, free of charge.



Ironically, the collapse of the Irish economy that resulted in the recent EU financial bailout, has resulted in higher borrowing costs that have since seen house prices plummet .

And in a bid to stimulate sales, Letterkenny-based Mr McGlynn has adopted the sale strategy in a stagnant property market. He said: ‘There is absolutely no catch – you buy one and you get the house next door free.

‘These are not houses on a ghost estate, far from it. We have houses in two different estates in Letterkenny and one in Milford, which are the last on each estate.

‘If we can sell them we can move on to the next estate and keep things going. Each house is a three-bedroom semi-detached dwelling and they are almost finished. Some even have kitchens and fireplaces fitted.’
