Mind you, they wrote that it's in the "heart of the city"

  1. The “hart of the city”. They seem to be to mean Balbriggan itself rather than Dublin, but it’s no city.

  2. I live in Paris, about twenty minutes’ walk from the Louvre and I pay 1,300 a month for something only slightly smaller.

  3. And the location… I know it too well….
    Right beside the beach, harbour, main street and train station.

    Ideal, you can watch the scrotes rob stuff and deal drugs from your balcony before they go into the dole office across the lane.

  4. I dunno man, its got a microwave. Those are hard to come by.

  5. I paid far lesser than that for a 2 bed apartment in D4 when I first moved here in 2017.
    In fact, if you take the legal rent increase limits allowed, it still won’t be 2500 today (assuming that the landlord didn’t pull any tricks like doing a “renovation” or something).

  6. But it has a Double Bedroom!! Like that makes it fucking alright.

  7. return of investment (sold for €172k earlier this year) in less than 6 years if someone bites. i normally try to justify the market and pros/cons, but this is definitely a dysfunctional market here.

  8. That’s insane… I could rent my Thomas street apartment for so much… but I’m not a greedy cunt.

  9. Bought a house here in new built estate 3 years ago (270k for 2 bed 3 bath) one of my neighbours bought a 3 bed right beside. He then moved to live with his GF in apartment in Dublin and rented his house for 2600 a month.

    That is a 3 bed A3 rated brand new house for 2600 a month (which i thought back then is still a lot for BB) but now seeing this its a bargain lol

  10. Lack of one beds have made them like gold dust. People will pay extra not to have to live with shitehawks they barely know.

    This is pretty ridiculous though.

  11. I keep thinking it is going to eventually stop, and then it doesn’t.

  12. Jokes on you buddy, I don’t even make 2,500 thousand a month.

  13. It’s so depressing that my reaction was “at least it’s not a studio”.

  14. Whole country is riddled with people trying to do this. I’ve seen people trying to rent out literal prefabs they’ve slapped in their back garden for more than 1500.

    Lads, I don’t know how you haven’t realised yet, we’re a nation of greedy fucks.

  15. Oh look, another crazy rental in Dublin post on r/ireland.

    Hasn’t been one of these in ‘checks notes’….17 minutes.

    Is there anything to be said for another sub reddit. We can call it r/crazydublinrent.

    I know we all love the misery, but that’s all this sub has become nowadays.
