You've been saving each month, been through all the official steps and now you're finally starting to look for your first home.
Buying your first home is a big step and to help make the process less daunting and more understandable, we've teamed up with AIB to advice you on how and where to buy.
When buying your first home, you might have a long list of must-haves and some things you're willing to compromise, but finding the right area for you and your family is key. With this in mind, we've looked through some Dublin neighbourhoods and picked out some great homes that you may have missed. This week, we're focusing on Artane and have five homes to talk about... all on the market for less than €400,000.
