ANDREW LONG has joined Lansdowne Partnership as its residential sales manager. Prior to moving to work with Fergal Hopkins and the team at the Mespil Road-based estate agents, Long worked with HT Meagher O’Reilly where he specialised in residential sales. Long has a number of years of experience in the industry and has handled the sale of a significant number of properties in Dublin and surrounding counties.

Lansdowne has carved something of a niche for itself during the downturn by offering property management and sales services for distressed properties. One of its flagship developments is the Gasworks complex in Ringsend. It’s understood Long, in his new role with Lansdowne, will be sticking to the knitting and focusing on bolstering its residential sales division.
