Thu 10 Oct 2007Home TruthsOne new homes scheme displays the naked truth about the market, says Edel MorganI couldn't resist veering off the Malahide Road on Sunday for a snoop around the Belmayne new homes development. My interest was piqued on several fronts. For one, I've been hearing conflicting reports about the state of the new homes market and wanted to see how busy it was. I also wanted to see the interiors by Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen and gardens by Diarmuid Gavin and, after the developer won an Irish Times property award last week for its steamy, if beautifully shot, advertising campaign, I was curious to see if a neighbour of mine was exaggerating about the "alarming" poster at the entrance.
