Looking for a property bargain? You might just find one here, as we take out weekly look at the best 'fixer-uppers' on the Dublin housing market.

The latest selection is a group of terraces, ranging from two to four bedrooms, in a variety of locations: Tallaght, Palmerstown, Phibsborough, Finglas and Walkinstown.

5B Newtown Park, Tallaght
€295,000
4-bed terraced house

With four bedrooms - three of them doubles - this is an unusually spacious property for a two-storey mid-terrace, and so may suit a growing family. The single bedroom could also be put to use as a playroom, study or den.

The house is located on a cul-de-sac in Tallaght village, a short distance from all of the local shops and amenities, as well as Tallaght Square with its larger stores, entertainment and Luas terminus.

125 Culmore Road, Palmerstown
€360,000
3-bed terraced house

This Palmerstown property is quite a find - not only is it in a secluded position at the end of a cul-de-sac, it possesses an enormous baxck garden that stretches a considerable distance behind the house.

The house itself boasts an impressive entrance hall, living room, dining room and kitchen downstairs, with the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Off-street parking is available at the front of the house.

A budget price for this mid-terrace in a residential area of Finglas West. For those with a car it's a convenient location: Finglas village, Charlestown Shopping Centre and the M50/M1 are all nearby.

The house will need a refresh but it looks find to move into immediately, giving a buyer a bit of extra leeway when it comes to making improvements.
