Agent Knight Frank is expecting considerable interest in a mixed-use portfolio in the south Dublin coastal village of Dalkey, which is to be sold by private treaty.

Adrian Trueick of the agency is quoting a combined guide price of €1.25 million for the high street properties at the entrance to Dalkey village, which will show a return of 7.6 per cent. The two properties can be bought as one lot or separately.

A guide price of €450,000 has been set for a two-storey building at 16/16a Castle Street, which has a fast food takeaway on the ground floor and a self-contained apartment on the first floor. The 223sq m (2,410sq ft) property is under-rented at €31,500 and has had an outstanding rent review due since June 2016. The selling agent says the initial return of 6.7 per cent has the potential to increase to more than 12 per cent.
