Instant Success For Cork's New Homes Website
The Cork New Homes Website www.chap.ie has proven to be an instant success with the house buying public in the first month since it was launched, with huge levels of traffic to the site recorded.
The website has recorded over 25,000 unique visits from individual users since it was launched in February of this year in Cork, by Tom Parlon, Director General, Construction Industry Federation (CIF).
The website which was established by the Cork Branch of the CIF, now has over 500 individual new homes listed from 22 individual building companies and according to Alan Morris of the CIF, is providing great opportunities for potential home buyers to interact directly with the individual building companies who are selling.
