What can I get in Ireland for... €200,000 or less?

Stay on budget with these picks from around the country.

STAYING WITHIN BUDGET while house-hunting can take a bit of digging, which can be why many buyers end up spending more than planned. Whether it’s on the house itself, the extra rent while waiting, or on the renovations afterward, spending more is often hard to avoid.

That’s why, each week, we put together an edit of homes within a certain price range to save you some precious time and hopefully money. Here are four homes to check out, around the country if €200,000 is your absolute max. You may even be left with some change. Win!
