Ireland: Short-Term vs Long-Term Rental Returns

What Could You Earn?

Estimated gross income for a typical 3-bedroom house in Ireland, based on median values. These are starting points. In the dashboard you can adjust everything to match your own property and circumstances.

Key Takeaways

• Almost all of Ireland is a Rent Pressure Zone. Investment properties cannot operate as short-term rentals, making Ireland primarily a long-term rental market.
• Dublin has the lowest long-term rental returns but the highest capital appreciation. Investors here are typically buying for growth rather than income.
• Ireland's Local Property Tax at 0.18% is among the lowest in the developed world, which helps offset the lower yields compared to the UK or US.
