What you'll find
Georgian and Victorian houses around the Mall and the city centre, terraces and family estates on the edges of the city, newer developments on the approach roads, and rural houses and farms across the orchard country towards Loughgall, Richhill and Markethill.
Who buys here
Families and first-time buyers, people working in education, health and public services, buyers attracted by period homes at prices well below Belfast, and farming families.
Getting about
There's no railway in the city; Portadown station is about twenty minutes away. The M1 is reached via Dungannon or Portadown.
Mortgage points to note
- Listed and conservation-area homes. Much of the centre is a conservation area and many buildings are listed. Alterations need consent, and lenders' valuers will note older fabric, so a full survey is sensible.
- Converted buildings. Flats in converted Georgian houses come with leases and shared repairs. Check who is responsible for the roof and the outside walls.
- Rural and farm homes. Orchard land, agricultural ties and private drainage are common outside the city. Specialist lenders and valuers may be needed.
- First homes. Most homes here sit under the first-time buyer stamp duty threshold.
