Bank for sale - if you can get a mortgage!
If you fancy owning your own bank - at a knockdown price - well, now might be the time to pick up the phone and give the prestige auctioneering firm Savills a bell.They're selling off, well, not quite a bank, but a former bank building - the imposing, and recently-vacated, Bank of Ireland premises on Mullingar's Pearse Street.But while it might be on sale at a more reasonable price than might have been the case if it came on the market three years ago, if the asking price of â¬750,000 is more than you own - or can persuade a bank to lend you - you can always lease the property.Number 50 Pearse Street is actually over 150 years old, having been built in 1860.To read more see this week's edition of the Westmeath Examiner.
