This is what people want. Irish people don’t like landlords and have been pushing for legislation to get them to leave the market. We’re getting there, and with opposition parties blocking development of dense rentals, we surely will have a permanent solution to the landlord issue soon.
edit: I am pleased with the amount of discussion this comment has produced.
Great to hear that properties are going onto the market.
I have a feeling that the knockon effect is going to be that rentals will be even harder to find now.
Can’t wait to see how the ever changeable r/ireland hive mind feels about this.
Landlords bad… But lack of landlords also bad..
Build to rent bad… But lack of rentals also bad..
Im sure lots of land Lords felt with house prices been so high, now is the best time to sell to get a return on their investment.

Try it sometime.
They were pure gentlemen. Thoughts and prayers with them at this time of transition.
Inflation is higher , China is slowing down , Nasdaq last week had very a poor performance , if BCE increase the rates mortgage is going to be more expensive. I believe those landlords are doing the right thing.
We taxed and harassed the small landlord out, so theyre selling up. The ines who stay need to charge twice the mortgage payment to turn a profit and with house prices hitting the 2007 numbers theyre now selling up to exit, professional landlords / investment firms are trying to build more and we object to that too , constraining supply and basically leaving the investment firms who already have properties as the dominant player in the market, and they always charge top rent. Well done to anproblem we created and keep opposing all reasonable solutions to.
The only way to solve this is build build build, higher, allow one off housing , let the government build social housing apartments in the suburbs . Building is the only solution

Saw this today and a few hours later my landlord and an evaluator were in the house scoping it out for “insurance purposes”

“The market will correct itself”
Rent controls aren’t great for the market, huh?
Who would’ve thought…
