There are potential bargains to be had in this week's fixer-uppers - as long as you have the wherewithal to fix them up...
This week, we're in Ballybough, Ballyfermot, Phibsborough, Dún Laoghaire and the north inner city.
141 Clonliffe Avenue, Ballybough
€224,950
2-bed terraced bungalow
This compact little cottage is located in a residential street in Ballybough, with a view of Croke Park's famous stands. There's no through traffic, so that should make it nice and quiet, and the location puts you within striking distance of Drumcondra and Fairview villages, as well as Fairview Park.
The house has been extended to the rear and consists of an entrance porch, hallway, living room, kitchen-diner, bathroom and two bedrooms, as well as a large back garden - a real boon in an inner city location.

74 Cleggan Avenue, Ballyfermot
€255,000
3-bed terraced house
This mid-terrace needs a full refurbishment, and a new buyer may also choose to extend to the rear, given the space afforded by the large back garden. In its current state though, it's a pleasant and spacious house with three double bedrooms, entrance hall, living room, kitchen and family bathroom.
The house is in a residential estate, conveniently close to the centre of Ballyfermot, where there are lots of shops and amenities, while regular buses will take you into the city centre in about half an hour.

8 Avondale Avenue, Phibsborough
€325,000
2-bed terraced house
Avondale Avenue is right in the centre of Phibsborough, a vibrant and lively area with lots of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants. It's also well located for TU Grangegorman and the Mater Hospital, with excellent public transport links by bus or Luas.
Number 8 is very much a blank canvas that needs to be stripped right back before a new owner can make it truly theirs. The house consists of entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. There's a small yard to the rear.

7 Killarney Avenue, Killarney Street, Dublin 1

3-bed terraced house
An impressively spacious home for this north inner city location, 7 Killarney Avenue is a double-fronted terraced house comprising three double bedrooms (two of them en suite), an entrance hall, living room, kitchen and bathroom.

63 Rochestown Park, Dún Laoghaire
€495,000
3-bed semi-detached bungalow
This little bungalow isn't cheap, but then it is in a terrific location, with easy access to the south Dublin coast, including Dún Laoghaire, Sandycove and Killiney.
Downstairs there's an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom, while upstairs the attic conversion is currently divided into two bedrooms but you may prefer to restore it to one. A lovely mature back garden completes the package.
