What you'll find
Victorian terraces and houses around the square and the seafront at Warrenpoint, family estates and newer developments behind the town, and period houses, cottages and larger homes along the lough shore to Rostrevor and into the woods and hills behind it.
Who buys here
Local families, people who work in Newry or at the port, people working across the border, and buyers attracted by the lough, the mountains and the sailing.
Getting about
There's no railway; Newry station is about fifteen minutes away. The A2 runs along the lough to Newry and the A1.
Mortgage points to note
- Cross-border earnings. Income paid in euros is treated cautiously by many lenders. A broker can go straight to those who lend on it.
- Period seafront houses. Older houses facing the lough can have weather damage, damp and dated wiring. A full survey is worth it, and lenders may hold back part of the loan until repairs are done.
- Holiday and second homes. A holiday home brings the 5% stamp duty surcharge, and letting it out needs a holiday-let mortgage.
- Port and shift work. Overtime and irregular hours are common in port jobs. Lenders want to see a steady track record.
