≈ +1.8% over the price. Residential stamp duty is 1% (non-residential 7.5%). New builds add VAT at 13.5%. The solicitor runs the closed period between contract and closing; the PRA (Tailte Éireann) registers. 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.

Property purchases require solicitor conveyancing and registration with Tailte Éireann (Land Registry). Stamp Duty is 1% up to €1,000,000 and 2% thereafter, keeping upfront transaction taxes lower than continental Europe.

Dublin is designated as a Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ), capping annual rent increases at 2% or inflation, with mandatory registration through the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) and Part 4 security of tenure.
