If you’ve been house hunting for a while it might be tempting to give up the idea of finding a quality home in an ideal location and go for a fixer-upper that you can actually afford.
There are a number of homes currently on the market that cost less than the deposit on the average home, and they will truly afford their new owners the chance to put their stamp on them.
This list has been restricted to properties that are viable, liveable options for home owners, but without further ado, here are the 10 cheapest homes on sale in Ireland right now:
