  • Gross vs Net Yield in Dublin: What a Landlord Actually Keeps (2026)

    Gross vs Net Yield in Dublin: What a Landlord Actually Keeps (2026)

    Every Dublin property advertisement that quotes a yield is quoting the gross number โ€” annual rent divided by price, with nothing deducted. Nothing for the letting agent. Nothing for insurance, Local Property Tax, the empty month between tenants, the boiler that dies in year three. And nothing for Revenue, which takes the largest single slice…

    Buying on the MetroLink Corridor in 2026: Ballymun, Glasnevin & Future-Station Areas

    If you are house-hunting anywhere on the northern side of Dublin this year, the same question keeps coming up: should you buy near a future MetroLink station? The answer is not “yes” โ€” it is “yes to some stops, no to others, and it depends entirely on what you can spend and how long you…

    Ballyfermot & Finglas House Prices 2026: D10 & D11 Guide

    If you have been priced out of Drimnagh, Cabra or anywhere inside the canals, the conversation in 2026 keeps ending in the same two places: Ballyfermot (Dublin 10) and Finglas (Dublin 11). They are Dublin’s two cheapest district medians โ€” โ‚ฌ226,000 and โ‚ฌ246,000 โ€” and its two fastest-growing postcodes: +9.9% and +8.4% a year, roughly…

    Renting in Dublin for the First Time: Tenant Rights, Deposit Rules & Notice (2026)

    Your first Dublin tenancy will be the most legally protected thing you sign all decade โ€” if you know where the protections are. The deposit you hand over is capped by law at one month’s rent. The rent can only rise once a year, by the lower of inflation or 2%. And the notice you…

    Dublin Property Market Review 2026 & 2027 Outlook: Prices, Rents, Forecast

    The 2026 Dublin property market did something it has not done since the early 2020s: it stopped accelerating and started cooling in an orderly way, while underneath the averages the market quietly reorganised. Prices kept rising โ€” Dublin finished the latest official twelve months at +4.6%, the capital’s slowest annual pace in years โ€” but…

  • New Build vs Second-Hand in Dublin 2026: The Honest Buyer’s Guide

    New Build vs Second-Hand in Dublin 2026: The Honest Buyer’s Guide

    The two routes onto the Dublin property ladder are not two versions of the same purchase โ€” they are different products with different prices, different timelines, different subsidies and different risks. A new build in a west-Dublin scheme gets you Help to Buy, a 10-year structural warranty and an A-rated home you never have to…

    MetroLink Corridor Property Guide 2026: Prices by Stop

    Asking what MetroLink will do to Dublin property prices is the right question at the right moment.

  • Airbnb vs Long-Term Let in Dublin 2026: Which Actually Earns More?

    Airbnb vs Long-Term Let in Dublin 2026: Which Actually Earns More?

    The headline says Airbnb, and the headline is lying to you. Airbnb vs long term let Dublin comparisons usually stop at gross revenue, and that is the first mistake. Rent a well-rated central Dublin one-bed on Airbnb at โ‚ฌ120โ€“โ‚ฌ180 a night and, at 70% occupancy, it grosses roughly โ‚ฌ2,500โ€“โ‚ฌ3,800 a month against โ‚ฌ1,800โ€“โ‚ฌ2,500 for the…

  • The Landlord Exodus: Why 62% of Dublin’s 2025 Sellers Were Landlords โ€” and What It Means for 2026

    The Landlord Exodus: Why 62% of Dublin’s 2025 Sellers Were Landlords โ€” and What It Means for 2026

    The most important statistic about the Dublin property market in 2025 was not a price and it was not a rent. It was a seller. At Owen Reilly, one of Dublin’s larger independent agencies, 62% of the properties sold in 2025 were put on the market by investors offloading buy-to-let properties โ€” barely down from…
