Foreigners buy freely; the RTB (Residential Tenancies Board) governs the rental side with rent-pressure zones capping increases.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run one month (typically) held by the solicitor.
  • Leases commonly run 12 months, then part IV tenancy security after 6 months.
  • Rent-pressure zones cap increases at 2% annually — most of Dublin is one.

Dublin prices off tech wages and a construction deficit; Cork and Galway follow at a discount.

Stamp duty is 1% on the first €1m, 2% above that. Solicitor fees are regulated. Dublin is severely undersupplied, driving premium rents.
