"The house was at its worst, in an absolute state. The back of the house was missing and I had tagged them sarcastically - 'I'm going to enter Home of the Year'."
"When they responded asking for more details, he sent back a resounding no, but it got him thinking."
Finbarr Collins purchased a two-up two-down house in Dublin 7 and left it untouched for over a year. He motivated himself and his partner, Gareth Scott, to renovate the home after jokingly tagging the Home of the Year programme on Instagram. Initially, Collins dismissed the idea of applying, but the show's producers expressed interest, prompting him to reconsider. The house, which was in a dilapidated state, underwent significant transformation, leading to its nomination as a finalist for Home of the Year.
