Be prepared to pay a premium for the bright lights of the city
Thu Jan 25 2018 - 05:45
There are at least 40 new homes schemes currently under way in the immediate environs of the city centre. But if this brings to mind Manhattan-style apartment living between the city quays and the Grand Canal, then think again. There are very few residential schemes with units to buy going up in the Dublin 1 and Dublin 2 areas and much of the high density building here is being carried out by international funds and will ultimately become managed rental accommodation.
A little further afield there’s more activity, but there’s also a premium to be paid for proximity to the bright lights and handy transport links to the city centre, with little or nothing new available to buy for less than €400,000. Buyers in this market will find themselves competing with cash rich downsizers, cash buyers and ex-pat professionals either investing or returning to Dublin.
