This Section 23-type tax scheme offers buyers significant benefits over a 10-year period and first completions are due from early March through to summer 2007.

Built by Hanly Developments, the development features large family-sized homes arranged in a series of small culde-sacs giving residents a very attractive family-oriented living environment.

According to Clair Dowling of Savills Hamilton Osborne King: "With opportunities for Section 23 schemes coming to an end, we expect strong demand for the spacious houses at White Linen Woods which should stand the test of time in terms of capital growth and are ideal for both letting or as family homes."

With motorway access to Dublin, Sligo, and the west as well as a large railway station linking the town directly to Dublin, commuting couldn't be easier.

Longford also boasts some of the finest aenities in the midlands including boating, swimming, water-skiing, canoeing and other water sports close at hand.
