First time buyers typically find the property market incredibly frustrating, as the hunt for an affordable home often meets dead ends.
People can sometimes overlook the benefits of buying an apartment rather than a house when searching for their forever home. Forfeiting a garden may have some small benefits for people struggling to save up for their deposit.
Perfect Properties currently have five two bedroom apartments advertised on their website, three of which fall neatly under the average asking price of €320,000 in Ireland. All properties have access to public transport and could potentially make excellent long-term homes.
