By

Grange Castle Business Park, Lucan.
Site Of Ireland’s First Media Park

South Dublin County Council has sold 48 acres of land in Grange Castle, Lucan to Lens Media, who will invest €125m in a world class Media Park.
With 100,000 sq ft of workshop space and another 100,000 sq ft of office space, this will propel Ireland into a prime position in the film and TV, animation and sound production arena.
Construction will generate 1,800 jobs and employment in the facility could reach 1,500.

Call it what you will, but it Sells Houses

This property recently went Sale Agreed within 3 weeks of going to market, substantially above the asking price.
For sellers and buyers alike, the Sale Agreed sign is a thing of beauty, the first real step into your new home. But it takes such a lot of work to get there. What can make it easier, what can make getting to that point more simple and more quick?
Presentation. There are lots of elements in a sale, but presentation is the most important one. The prospective buyer must be met with a warm, welcoming sight that he or she can imagine as their own home.
The above property was immaculately presented, very well decorated, spotlessly clean and uncluttered. The impression on walking in was welcoming, clean, warm. Somewhere you could walk into and feel right at home.
Of course it’s not always possible to present a property in show house condition, but you owe it to yourself to make the most of what you’re offering. Unless you’re selling a fixer upper or to an investor, the old adage “they’ll see past that” will cost you time and money.
The Better The Offering, The Sweeter The Sale.

Using Property As A Pension Fund

By

Renting is now an accepted part of Ireland’s housing market.
And using your pension fund (if you’re eligible) can be very tax efficient.

Fiona Reddin writing in The Irish Times

“If you buy an apartment through your pension fund for example (and remember this has been built up thanks in part to tax relief on contributions), then all the rent flows directly into the pension fund. It does not pass Revenue and does not result in a tax liability.
Should you sell it at a later stage, any capital gains which might arise are again distributed to the pension fund tax-free. The rent that comes in can be invested back into the equity or bond markets.
It is only once you draw income from your pension fund in retirement that there will be a tax liability.
Outside of the pension fund, if you’re a higher-rate taxpayer, almost half of your rental income can go on tax, while gains are subject to tax at 33 per cent”.

Airbnb Properties Will Come Back To The Long Term Rental Market

And It Can Be Good For Dublin Landlords……

The new legislation restricting short term stays to 90 days come into effect today (1st July 2019) and apply to properties where it is NOT the owner’s principal private residence but IS in a designated Rent Pressure Zone
You can apply for ‘change of use’ planning permission, but you are unlikely to get it.

If you are short-letting a room in your own home, the new rules do not apply, but you will need to register with your Local Authority

If you are short-letting a property OUTSIDE of the RPZ’s the rules DO NOT apply, but you DO need to apply for change of use. And you have to register with your council.

THIS IS serious – you can be fined up to €5,000 or get up to 6 months in prison – or both of the above!

Is this UNIQUE to Ireland? No – Barcelona, New York, San Fran, Paris, Amsterdam, Toronto, Vancouver, Berlin and a host (NPI!) more have introduced similar rules for similar reasons.

What does it mean for landlords?  Well it’s not all bad – long term rents are high, you won’t have to pay constant change out /cleaning fees, less wear and tear – and there are GREAT tenants out there.

 But New legislation has come in over the last few years which landlords need to be aware of – limited rent increases, equality, new standards in rented houses- All can be daunting.
