If you have tried to get onto the property ladder before, you know that it’s in no way an easy process. It’s probably one of the biggest milestones in someone’s life, after all. But, here are some properties in Ashtown for you to consider.
So, a little guidance would probably make the world of difference.
Well, we have once again teamed up with AIB to bring you our Livin Dublin series, which will see us highlight different areas around Dublin and help you explore your options as a first-time buyer.
This time, we decided to take a look at the North Dublin neighbourhood of Ashtown, located just north of the Phoenix Park between Blanchardstown and Cabra.
(Psst! Make sure you try AIB’s handy mortgage calculator here to find out how much you could borrow!)
