Each week, we are on the hunt for those properties that could do with a little bit of TLC to help them realise their full potential.
This week's selections take us to Balbriggan, Dolphin's Barn, Cabra, Saggart and Chapelizod.
88 Bremore Castle, Balbriggan
€220,000
3-bed end-of-terraced house
Out in Balbriggan, we have something of a bargain - a handsome, three-bed end terrace for just €220k. The interior is a bit on the dated side and will certainly need refreshing, but the house has plenty going for it - a living room with a feature fireplace, a large kitchen/diner with French doors leading to the back garden, and three bedrooms.
There's even a shed in the garden for extra storage, and the house is convenient for Balbriggan town centre, the beach and trains to the city.

3 Rehoboth Place, Dolphin's Barn
€340,000
2-bed terraced house
This mid-terrace house is in a really handy location, just within the Grand Canal and close to The Coombe hospital and the city centre. Inside the house is an entrance hall, large living/dining room, a spacious kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom, while outside there is a west-facing garden.
It represents a significant project with considerable modernisation required, but for anyone willing to get their hands dirty and invest some money, buying 3 Rehoboth Place could pay off handsomely.

112 Nephin Road, Navan Road, Cabra
€470,000
3-bed semi-detached house
This is a fantastic house in a superb area, just five minutes from the Phoenix Park and hugely convenient for commuters into the city centre, or anyone who wants to be close to the action.
New owners will want to modernise and put their own stamp on this handsome property, which comprises two reception rooms, a kitchen, conservatory, bathroom and WC, and three bedrooms.
With period features like bay windows and fireplaces, a garage and a mature back garden, this Nephin Road house has plenty to offer.

45 Pairc Mhuire, Saggart
€275,000
3-bed semi-detached house
While this house in south-west Dublin may not be suitable for someone looking for a completely blank canvas, it does have plenty of potential for improvements thanks to that large garden to the side.
An extension - subject to planning of course - could turn this fine three-bedroom family home into something much more spacious, perhaps adding another bedroom and a garage, or something else entirely.

5 Liffey Terrace, Chapelizod
€345,000
2-bed terraced house
Chapelizod is a great place to live - it has an attractive village centre with lovely shops, cafés and restaurants, it straddles the Liffey so it's ideal for riverside walks, it's right beside the Phoenix Park, and it's a doddle to get into town.
This attractive, red-brick mid-terrace house looks ideal for a couple or a young family with lots of space inside, a good-sized kitchen at the back and two bedrooms upstairs. There's work to be done but the potential is huge.
