How to Rent a House or Apartment in Ireland
The first step to renting in Ireland is finding accommodation. The majority of Irish rentals are found online. These are the most popular local accommodation search sites:
• Daft.ie
• Rent.ie
• Myhome.ie
These sites will allow you to search by housing type, cost, and location. Keep in mind that the further out from a city’s downtown or the further away from a public transit line will offer the greatest and cheapest opportunity for housing.
How to Buy a House or Apartment in Ireland
There is every type of property available to purchase in Ireland. Housing types range from typical city apartments to detached and semi-detached homes, countryside cottages, and large family estates. When searching for the property that is right for you, you should keep in mind the space you will need for you and your family, the location to schools and public transport, and whether you want to be closer to a city centre.
Finding a home to buy in Ireland is similar to finding a place to rent. You can go through a real estate agent or online. The best online sites are the same as those for rental properties:
• Daft.ie
• Rent.ie
• Myhome.ie
• Gumtree.ie
Real Estate Agents
It is also possible to use a real estate agent in Ireland, but keep in mind that you will be responsible for their fee, rather than landlords paying for the service.
