Get all the data you need about the real estate market in Dublin
SUMMARY
Dublin rental property can currently deliver roughly 5%–6% gross on expensive houses, around 7% as a broad market benchmark, and about 8%–8.5% on some well-bought apartments.
The citywide number hides a big divide between property types. Smaller apartments generally produce the strongest income returns, while large family houses become expensive much faster than their rents rise.
Location matters almost as much as property type. North Dublin City and West Dublin repeatedly appear near the top of the yield tables, while the expensive south side usually produces weaker income returns despite higher rents.
An advertised yield is only useful if the rent behind it is actually available to the buyer. RTB data shows a substantial gap between new-tenancy and existing-tenancy rents, so the legal history of a tenancy can change the economics of two otherwise similar properties.
Eight percent is a realistic Dublin apartment yield rather than an outlier, but the market does not suggest that 9%–10% conventional deals are normal. Once a headline yield moves much above 9%, the assumptions deserve a much closer look.
Gross yield also overstates what an apartment owner keeps. Service charges, maintenance, insurance, vacancy and professional management can take an 8% headline return down toward roughly 5.5%–6.5% before personal tax.
Mortgage costs make the entry yield much more important. With Irish buy-to-let rates around 5% or above, the difference between buying a 6% property and an 8%–8.5% property can decide whether there is much operating cash flow left at all.
Rents are still rising, but buyers should not assume that rental growth will automatically improve future yields. Dublin apartment prices are also rising quickly, so part of the future rent growth is already being absorbed into higher acquisition prices.
The strongest income deal is therefore not automatically the property charging the highest monthly rent. A cheaper apartment in West or North Dublin can produce a higher yield than a far more expensive south-side property even when its monthly rent is lower.
For an income-led purchase today, roughly 7.5% gross is a sensible minimum target, around 8% is good, and 8.5% is very attractive when the building finances, service charges and tenancy all check out. A buyer accepting 5%–6% is relying much more heavily on future capital appreciation.
What rental yield can you actually get in Dublin now?
Dublin rental yields currently run from roughly 5% for expensive family houses to around 8%–9% for some apartments, with about 7% a reasonable citywide gross benchmark.
The gap between properties is large enough that a single Dublin average can be misleading. Daft's Q1 2026 data, which compares asking rents with asking prices for the same quarter, put one-bedroom apartment yields between 6.7% and 8.2% across Dublin's six broad areas. Two-bedroom apartments ranged from 6.5% in South Dublin County to 8.6% in North Dublin City.
Houses generally sit lower. Four-bedroom houses ranged from 4.8% in South Dublin County to 7.2% in West Dublin. Three-bedroom houses showed much the same pattern, from 5.3% in South Dublin County to 7.7% in West Dublin.
A separate Q2 estimate from Global Property Guide puts Dublin's average gross residential yield at about 7.0%, down slightly from 7.22% late last year. Its property-level estimates run from about 8.0% for a one-bedroom unit to 5.54% for a four-bedroom property.
So if someone tells us that “Dublin yields 7%,” the number is broadly believable. It just hides the part investors actually care about: a good apartment can still produce more than 8%, while an expensive family house may struggle to reach 6%.
| Dublin property | Rough gross yield now | Stronger Dublin markets | Weaker Dublin markets | How we read it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed apartment | ~6.7%–8.2% | North City, West | South City, South County | Strong |
| 2-bed apartment | ~6.5%–8.6% | North City, West, North County | South City, South County | Very strong |
| 3-bed apartment | ~6.3%–8.8% | North City, City Centre | South City | High, but smaller market |
| 2-bed house | ~6.0%–7.6% | West Dublin | South County | Reasonable |
| 3-bed house | ~5.3%–7.7% | West, North City | South County | Very area-dependent |
| 4-bed house | ~4.8%–7.2% | West Dublin | South Dublin | Usually weak for income |
Why can two Dublin landlords own similar properties but earn very different yields?
Dublin rental yield depends heavily on the rent that the landlord is legally allowed to charge, so two nearly identical apartments can produce very different returns.
The RTB's latest registered-tenancy index shows how large that gap can be. Across County Dublin, the standardised rent for a new tenancy was €2,335 a month in Q1 2026. Existing tenancies averaged €1,960.
That is a €375 monthly difference, or €4,500 a year. New-tenancy rents were roughly 19% higher.
Three-bedroom houses show an even wider cash gap. The RTB recorded an average of €2,584 for new Dublin tenancies versus €2,034 for existing ones. That difference works out at €6,600 a year.
This becomes critical when looking at properties advertised with a projected yield. A seller may calculate the return using today's open-market asking rent even though a sitting tenant pays much less and the landlord cannot immediately reset the rent.
The distinction has become even more important under Ireland's current rental rules. Tenancies created before March 2026 cannot generally be reset to market rent while they continue. Newer tenancies have more opportunities for market resets, but only under specific conditions.
Before accepting any Dublin yield figure, we therefore want the actual lawful rent, the tenancy start date and the circumstances under which the current tenancy could end. A theoretical market rent is not enough.
| RTB Dublin measure | New tenancy | Existing tenancy | Monthly difference | Annual difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| County Dublin standardised rent | €2,335 | €1,960 | €375 | €4,500 |
| Dublin 3-bed house | €2,584 | €2,034 | €550 | €6,600 |
| New rent versus existing rent | 100% | ~84% of new rent | ~16% lower | Material |
How to deal with a Dublin estate agent without getting played
You are bidding against people you cannot see, and the agent is legally obliged to keep a record of every bid that you are entitled to ask for. Who works for whom, and what to request in writing.
Do Dublin apartments really give better rental yields than houses?
Yes. Apartments currently beat larger Dublin houses quite clearly if our main goal is rental income.
Daft's comparable Q1 data shows the pattern across almost every part of Dublin. Two-bedroom apartment yields reached 8.6% in North Dublin City, 8.5% in West Dublin and 8.4% in North Dublin County. Even Dublin City Centre reached 8.0%.
Four-bedroom houses were much weaker. South Dublin County produced only 4.8%, South Dublin City 5.1% and North Dublin County 5.6%.
The difference comes from the purchase price more than the rent. A large Dublin house can easily command €3,000 or €4,000 a month, but investors also have to put far more capital into buying it. Extra bedrooms, gardens and land value push up the sale price faster than they push up the rent.
Global Property Guide's more recent Dublin estimates point in the same direction. Its current one-bedroom example costs €300,000, rents for €2,000 a month and yields 8.0%. Its four-bedroom example costs €975,000, rents for €4,500 and yields just 5.54%.
A house can still be the better investment if we care more about land, family-buyer resale demand or long-term appreciation. For someone specifically chasing Dublin rental yield, though, smaller apartments remain the obvious place to look first.
Where in Dublin can you get the highest rental yield?
North Dublin City and West Dublin currently give investors some of the best broad-market yields, while expensive parts of South Dublin usually sit at the bottom.
Daft's Q1 numbers are unusually consistent on this. North Dublin City produced yields of 8.2% for one-bedroom apartments, 8.6% for two-beds and 8.8% for three-beds. West Dublin came in at 8.1%, 8.5% and 8.2%.
North Dublin County also looks competitive, especially for two-bedroom apartments at 8.4%.
South Dublin is much harder for an income investor. One- and two-bedroom apartments were around 6.7% and 6.6% in South Dublin City and 6.7% and 6.5% in South Dublin County.
The city centre sits somewhere in between. Rents there are among the highest in Ireland, but purchase prices absorb much of the benefit. Two-bedroom city-centre apartments yielded around 8.0%, below both North Dublin City and West Dublin.
The highest rent does not necessarily create the highest yield. South Dublin City had a two-bedroom asking rent of €2,850 in Daft's Q1 report, yet the yield was only 6.6%. West Dublin's equivalent rent was much lower at €2,332, but the lower purchase price pushed its yield to 8.5%.
For yield alone, we would currently start the search in North Dublin City, West Dublin and selected parts of North Dublin County before paying the premium attached to the south side.
| Dublin area | 1-bed apartment | 2-bed apartment | 3-bed apartment | 3-bed house |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North Dublin City | 8.2% | 8.6% | 8.8% | 7.5% |
| West Dublin | 8.1% | 8.5% | 8.2% | 7.7% |
| North Dublin County | 7.4% | 8.4% | 7.9% | 6.4% |
| Dublin City Centre | 7.9% | 8.0% | 8.7% | — |
| South Dublin City | 6.7% | 6.6% | 6.3% | 6.6% |
| South Dublin County | 6.7% | 6.5% | 6.6% | 5.3% |

New apartments are priced against what an institution will pay for a whole block rather than what one buyer should. Where asking prices sit furthest from what places actually earn and resell for.
Are Dublin rents still rising fast enough to push yields higher?
Dublin rents are still rising today, but we would no longer count on rent growth automatically pushing rental yields higher because apartment prices are rising quickly too.
Daft recorded a 4.3% jump in Dublin rents in Q1 2026, matching the biggest quarterly increase in its series. That pace then cooled sharply. In Q2, Dublin rents increased another 0.8% quarter-on-quarter, while annual growth remained around 6.5%.
The longer-term shortage is still obvious. Daft has recorded rental growth in almost every year since the early 2010s, and rents are now dramatically above their pre-pandemic and decade-ago levels.
However, the latest CSO property-price data complicates the story. Dublin residential prices were 4.6% higher year-on-year in the latest release, while Dublin apartment prices rose 7.0%.
That 7.0% apartment-price increase is particularly important. Apartments are the part of Dublin where yields currently look best, yet their prices are now rising slightly faster than the latest annual rental growth. If that continues, apartment yields could compress even while landlords keep raising rents.
We can already see a hint of this in Global Property Guide's quarterly estimates. Dublin's average gross yield slipped from 7.22% late last year to about 7.0% in Q2.
Rental growth still helps existing owners. For someone buying now, though, rising rents are increasingly being capitalised into higher purchase prices.
Is an 8% Dublin rental yield actually realistic today?
Yes. An 8% gross Dublin rental yield is realistic for the right apartment, while 9% should be treated as an exceptional deal rather than a normal target.
Daft's broad-area data contains several conventional apartment segments above 8%: North Dublin City two-beds at 8.6%, West Dublin two-beds at 8.5%, North Dublin County two-beds at 8.4% and North Dublin City three-beds at 8.8%.
Global Property Guide's independent Q2 estimate also puts a typical Dublin one-bedroom property at exactly 8.0%, based on a €300,000 purchase price and €2,000 monthly rent.
Once we move much beyond 9%, though, we should ask why.
Perhaps the buyer found a property below market price. Perhaps the apartment needs work. The building may have unusually high service charges, poor resale liquidity or fire-safety issues. The rent assumption may also come from nearby asking listings rather than the rent legally available on the property itself.
A 9%+ yield is certainly possible, but the mainstream Dublin data does not suggest that investors can simply pick one up anywhere. The strongest broad segment in Daft's Q1 table was 8.8%.
These days, 8% is a strong but believable Dublin number. A clean 9% deal deserves attention. A supposed 10%–11% conventional yield deserves investigation before enthusiasm.
Everything a foreign buyer should know before buying in Dublin
The pack also covers the repair levy waiting inside some apartment blocks, and why sale agreed means nothing here.
How much do Dublin apartment service charges eat into the yield?
Dublin apartment service charges can easily remove 0.5 to 1 percentage point from the gross yield before anything else goes wrong.
The numbers vary enormously from building to building. A recent Dublin apartment example reported by The Irish Times had seen its annual management charge rise from €1,800 to €2,750 over seven years. Other Dublin sales have disclosed annual charges around €1,700–€1,800, while some developments also require substantial sinking-fund contributions.
Those amounts look small next to a €300,000 or €400,000 purchase price, but yield makes the effect easy to see. A €2,750 annual charge on a €350,000 apartment absorbs 0.79% of the property's value every year.
An apartment showing an 8.5% gross yield is therefore already down to 7.7% after that single expense.
There is also a longer-term risk. Research from the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland has warned that many apartment developments have underfunded sinking funds. If a building has postponed major maintenance, today's modest service charge may tell us very little about what owners will pay later.
For Dublin apartments, the owners' management company accounts, sinking fund, planned major works and outstanding building issues belong in the yield calculation from the beginning. They are too large to leave for the solicitor to discover at the end.
What does an 8% Dublin gross yield look like after normal costs?
An 8% Dublin gross yield can realistically fall into roughly the mid-5% to mid-6% range before personal tax, depending on the building and how the property is managed.
Take a €350,000 apartment generating €28,000 a year in rent. That is exactly 8% gross.
Assume €2,500 for the service charge. We are down to €25,500. Put aside €1,400 for routine maintenance and repairs, €750 for insurance and Local Property Tax, and €560 for an average 2% vacancy allowance. The operating income falls to about €22,790, or 6.5% of the purchase price.
Professional management can take another meaningful slice. Irish letting agents commonly charge a percentage of rent for full management, and VAT can push the real cost higher. If our €28,000 property costs around €3,400 a year to manage, the remaining operating return falls to roughly €19,400.
That is only about 5.5% on the €350,000 property.
The exact percentage changes with every building, so there is no useful universal “net Dublin yield.” Losing around 1.5 to 2.5 percentage points between gross rent and a realistic operating return is entirely plausible for an apartment.
| €350,000 apartment | Annual amount | Yield on purchase price |
|---|---|---|
| Gross rent at 8% | €28,000 | 8.00% |
| After €2,500 service charge | €25,500 | 7.29% |
| After maintenance reserve | €24,100 | 6.89% |
| After insurance + LPT allowance | €23,350 | 6.67% |
| After 2% vacancy allowance | €22,790 | 6.51% |
| After illustrative full management cost | ~€19,400 | ~5.5% |
The areas and new schemes in Dublin that are most overpriced
New apartments are priced against what an institution will pay for a whole block rather than what one buyer should. Where asking prices sit furthest from what places actually earn and resell for.
Can a mortgaged Dublin rental property still make money?
Yes, but today's Irish buy-to-let mortgage rates make low-yield Dublin properties uncomfortable very quickly.
Current lender pricing is still around the 5% mark or higher. Bank of Ireland gives a representative buy-to-let variable rate of 4.85%. AIB's standard variable example is 5.20%. PTSB currently charges 5.30% at no more than 50% LTV, 5.45% between 50% and 60% and 5.55% between 60% and 70%.
Bank of Ireland also states that buy-to-let lending is generally limited to 70% of the property's value. A buyer therefore normally needs substantial equity before taxes and transaction costs.
Consider a €350,000 Dublin property financed at 70%. The mortgage is €245,000. At a 5.2% interest rate, the initial annual interest cost is roughly €12,740.
A property yielding 6% brings in €21,000 gross. That leaves only €8,260 between rent and mortgage interest before service charges, maintenance, insurance, vacancy and tax.
At an 8.5% gross yield, annual rent rises to €29,750. The spread above the same interest bill becomes about €17,000.
That €8,750 difference in annual rent explains why buying at 8% rather than 6% changes far more than the appearance of the spreadsheet. At today's financing costs, it can decide whether the investment produces decent cash flow at all.
Did Ireland's new rental rules make Dublin property more attractive to landlords?
Ireland's new rental rules improve one part of Dublin's landlord economics because some newer tenancies can eventually return to market rent, although rent increases remain tightly controlled.
The RTB now applies national rent controls to private tenancies. In most cases, rent can rise once a year by 2% or CPI, whichever is lower.
For private tenancies created from March 2026, landlords can reset to market rent when a new tenancy begins in certain circumstances, including when the previous tenant left voluntarily or breached the tenancy. A market reset is also available at the end of a six-year tenancy cycle.
The landlord cannot simply terminate a tenant without fault and then re-let at a much higher rent. If the previous tenancy ended because the landlord wanted to sell, needed the property for family use or planned to change its use, the RTB rules generally prevent an immediate reset to market rent.
Older tenancies remain more restrictive because an ongoing private tenancy created before the reform cannot generally be reset to market rent.
The rules also strengthen security for tenants, so this is hardly a return to an unrestricted rental market. Still, the ability to reconnect some newer tenancies with market rent reduces one of the biggest long-term distortions in Dublin buy-to-let.
For an investor buying today, the legal history of the tenancy now deserves almost as much attention as the physical condition of the property.
What developers and agents promise that you should never pay for
A completion date, a management charge quoted for year one only, and a certificate that covers less than it sounds like. What a promise is worth without a contract, and what to ask for instead.
Does Irish landlord tax make Dublin rental yields much worse?
Irish landlord tax can take a large bite out of the cash an individual investor keeps, but the final number depends too much on the owner to quote one honest after-tax Dublin yield.
Revenue allows landlords to deduct several genuine rental expenses before calculating taxable rental profit. These can include qualifying mortgage interest, repairs, maintenance, insurance, RTB registration, certain service charges and professional management costs.
That distinction is important for leveraged investors. Mortgage interest can generally reduce taxable rental profit when the loan qualifies, while repayment of the mortgage principal does not work the same way.
Residential Premises Rental Income Relief provides some additional help. The maximum relief currently reaches €1,000 for qualifying landlords. It applies against Income Tax, however, and does not eliminate USC or PRSI.
The same Dublin apartment can therefore generate very different after-tax returns for two owners. One investor may own it outright, another may have a large deductible interest bill, and their marginal tax rates may differ.
For comparing properties, we would first calculate gross yield and operating yield before personal tax. The owner's tax position belongs in a separate calculation once we know who is actually buying.
Are Dublin rental properties likely to sit empty between tenants?
A decent Dublin rental property currently faces very little structural vacancy risk, although assuming zero vacancy forever would still be careless.
Dublin's rental market remains extremely tight. Daft has repeatedly recorded available rental stock far below normal pre-pandemic levels, while both asking-rent data and RTB registered rents remain near record highs.
The better evidence is what tenants are actually paying. RTB's latest index puts a new County Dublin tenancy at €2,335 a month on average, while several expensive Dublin areas sit considerably higher.
A landlord with a normal apartment in a well-connected area is dealing with a very different vacancy problem from an investor in an oversupplied city. There is currently no broad Dublin glut that requires landlords to discount aggressively just to find tenants.
We would still keep a small vacancy allowance in the model. Tenant turnover creates cleaning days, repairs take time, and a badly priced or poorly maintained property can sit empty even when the wider market is tight.
A few weeks of economic vacancy spread over several years is sensible. Building an investment case around months of recurring vacancy does not match today's Dublin market unless the property itself has a problem.
How to spot hidden problems when you visit a place in Dublin
Blocks built in the boom years carry fire safety and water ingress problems that only surface in the accounts. What to look at, what the energy rating means, and what each thing is telling you.
If Dublin rents are so high, why have so many landlords wanted to sell?
High Dublin rents have not stopped landlord exits because older owners can make more attractive use of their capital by selling, while tax, regulation and financing make the landlord return less generous than the headline rent suggests.
This has been visible in RTB termination data. Earlier this year, notices of termination jumped sharply ahead of the rental-law changes, and selling the property remained one of the most common reasons given by landlords.
The decision becomes easier to understand when we look at house prices. Dublin residential values remain well above their post-financial-crisis lows, and many landlords who bought years ago are sitting on substantial capital gains.
A landlord who paid €200,000 for a property that is now worth €450,000 is asking a different question from a new investor considering whether to pay €450,000 today. The older owner may decide that selling and locking in the gain is more attractive than continuing to earn rental income.
This also explains why strong rents and landlord exits can happen at the same time. Tenants face a shortage of available homes, while some landlords still decide that the return on today's property value is no longer attractive enough.
For new buyers, landlord selling is useful evidence but hardly proof that Dublin buy-to-let no longer works. It tells us to judge the return on today's purchase price rather than looking at the enormous rent in isolation.
Is an 8% Dublin apartment really better than a 6% Dublin house?
For an income-focused investor today, we would normally choose the 8% apartment if the building passes due diligence.
On €400,000, an 8% gross yield produces €32,000 a year. A 6% property produces €24,000. The apartment begins €8,000 ahead.
A €2,500 service charge still leaves a €5,500 advantage before we compare other expenses.
The house has genuine strengths. There is no apartment management company, the investor owns more land, family houses can have excellent resale demand, and some properties offer extension or redevelopment potential.
Those benefits can justify accepting a lower rental yield when capital appreciation is the real strategy.
But once the yield gap reaches two full percentage points, the house needs to deliver something meaningful in return. Paying a large premium for land and hoping that future appreciation eventually compensates for €5,000–€8,000 less annual rental income is a much more speculative investment thesis.
If our goal is cash yield, a well-located two-bedroom apartment around 8% currently has the cleaner numbers.
The unwritten rules of making an offer in Dublin, and gazumping
Sale agreed binds nobody until contracts are signed, so a higher bid can arrive weeks later after you have paid for a survey. How bidding really runs, and how people hold a deal together.
What Dublin rental yield should you target today?
For a Dublin property bought mainly for rental income, we would currently want at least around 7.5% gross and would feel much better around 8%.
Below 6%, the property is firmly in capital-growth territory. The rent simply leaves too little room once we introduce service charges, maintenance, tax and buy-to-let financing close to 5% or above.
A 6%–7% yield can still work, especially with low leverage, low running costs or an exceptional location. We just would not call it a strong income deal.
Between 7% and 8%, Dublin starts to look much healthier. There is enough gross income to absorb normal expenses without every maintenance bill becoming a crisis.
Around 8% is where the current market becomes genuinely interesting. Daft's data shows that this level exists in ordinary apartment segments rather than only distressed or unusual properties.
A clean yield above 8.5% is excellent by current Dublin standards. Once we get above 9%, we would spend more time checking the assumptions because the major market datasets rarely show normal Dublin residential segments much beyond that point.
Current price trends also argue against lowering our standards simply because “Dublin always goes up.” The latest CSO data shows Dublin apartment prices rising 7.0% year-on-year, and Global Property Guide estimates that the city's average gross yield has already slipped from 7.22% to about 7.0%.
As seen above, rents are still rising too, but buyers are now paying more for those future rents. For an income investor, paying a 6% yield today and hoping rent growth fixes it later looks increasingly weak.
| Gross yield | Our current view | What usually has to justify it |
|---|---|---|
| Below 5.5% | Weak for rental income | Prime location or strong capital-growth thesis |
| 5.5%–6.5% | Modest | Low costs, low leverage or exceptional asset |
| 6.5%–7.5% | Reasonable | Balanced income/growth strategy |
| 7.5%–8.0% | Good | Solid conventional buy-to-let |
| 8.0%–8.5% | Strong | Attractive income property |
| 8.5%–9.0% | Excellent | Check building and tenancy carefully |
| Above 9% | Unusual | Verify every assumption |
So, what rental yield can you get in Dublin now?
Dublin can still deliver strong rental yields today, but the realistic range is wide: roughly 5%–6% for many expensive houses, around 7% as a broad market benchmark, and about 8%–8.5% for some well-bought apartments.
The best income opportunities currently sit in smaller apartments, especially across North Dublin City, West Dublin and selected parts of North Dublin County. South Dublin generally produces lower yields because property prices are too high relative to the extra rent landlords can charge.
The gap between gross and usable return is substantial. An apartment showing 8% on paper can fall into roughly the 5.5%–6.5% range after service charges and normal operating costs, before personal tax. Mortgage financing around 5% or more then makes the purchase price even more important.
We also have to distinguish between market rent and lawful rent. RTB data shows new Dublin tenancies paying materially more than existing ones, and Ireland's current rental rules do not allow every landlord to move an older tenancy straight to today's market level.
Meanwhile, the latest price data gives us less reason to chase mediocre deals. Dublin apartment prices are currently rising quickly, and the city's estimated average gross yield has edged down despite continued rental growth.
Our conclusion is fairly sharp. Around 7.5% is a sensible minimum target for an income-led Dublin purchase, 8% is good, and 8.5% is very attractive when the tenancy, service charges and building finances all check out. Buyers accepting 5%–6% are making a different bet: they are relying much more heavily on future capital appreciation than on the rental income available today.

OUR METHODOLOGY
This analysis tests what rental yield a buyer can realistically get from Dublin residential property today. Rather than relying on one citywide average, we separated the question by property type, Dublin area, tenancy status, operating costs, financing and the difference between gross and usable rental return.
We gave different datasets different jobs. Daft's market reports were used primarily to compare asking rents, asking prices, property types and broad Dublin areas on a consistent basis. The RTB/ESRI Rent Index was used to compare rents on new and existing tenancies and to test whether the market rent assumed in a yield calculation is representative of what a landlord may actually receive.
Official CSO residential property-price data was used to track the other side of the yield equation: how quickly purchase prices, and Dublin apartment prices in particular, are moving. This helps distinguish rising rental income from genuine yield expansion, since higher rents do not improve entry yields if acquisition prices are rising just as quickly.
Current RTB guidance was used for the treatment of rent reviews and market-rent resets under the rules applying from March 2026. We treated tenancy history as part of the investment calculation because the rent visible in today's open market is not automatically the lawful rent available on every occupied property.
For apartment costs, we used Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland material on service charges and sinking funds, together with a recent Irish Times Dublin example, to test how building-level expenses can reduce headline yields. The illustrative net-yield calculation is a stress test rather than a universal estimate because charges, maintenance and management costs vary sharply between properties.
Buy-to-let financing was checked against direct lender information from Bank of Ireland, AIB and PTSB. Revenue guidance was used for deductible rental expenses, rental profit calculations and Residential Premises Rental Income Relief. We kept personal tax separate from the core yield comparison because the after-tax result depends heavily on the individual owner and financing structure.
Global Property Guide was used as an independent cross-check on Dublin gross yields rather than as a substitute for the underlying rent and price evidence. Our labels such as “good”, “strong” and “unusual” are therefore our interpretation of where conventional Dublin properties currently sit after comparing market yields, operating-cost pressure and financing costs.
Key sources used for this analysis include Daft Reports, the RTB/ESRI Rent Index, RTB guidance on setting and reviewing private rents, RTB guidance on the March 2026 rental-rule changes, the CSO Residential Property Price Index for June 2026, Global Property Guide's Ireland rental-yield data, Global Property Guide's Ireland housing-market analysis, SCSI research on apartment-block maintenance and sinking funds, SCSI guidance on apartment service charges, The Irish Times on a recent Dublin apartment management-charge case, Bank of Ireland's buy-to-let mortgage information, AIB's mortgage regulatory information, PTSB's buy-to-let mortgage rates, Revenue guidance on allowable rental expenses, Revenue guidance on rental profits and losses, Revenue guidance on Residential Premises Rental Income Relief, and RTB Notices of Termination data.
