Ireland's largest county spans the Rebel city, the harbour towns of Cobh and Midleton, and a vast rural hinterland from Mizen Head to the Blackwater valley. Housing runs from Victorian city terraces to sprawling commuter estates in Carrigaline and Ballincollig.
Local demand: A large pharma and tech workforce fuels constant renovation, extension and energy-upgrade work, while the older city stock keeps rewiring and replumbing trades busy year-round.
