Rents continue to rise across Ireland as number of rental homes available hits 'all-time low'

“Unprecedented scarcity” in rental properties is driving prices higher across Ireland, the latest Daft report has found.

THE NUMBER OF homes available for rent across Ireland has dropped to an “all-time low” leading to further price spikes around the country, according to Daft.ie.

In its latest quarterly rental report, the property advertisement website notes that there were just 1,460 homes available to rent on 1 November. This is the lowest amount since Daft began tracking availability in January 2006.

The amount available now is almost half the previous lowest amount, which was recorded in mid-2019.

In Dublin there were only 820 properties available to rent, a fall of 51% on the same date last year and the first time, since Daft began its dataset, that the rental stock in the capital has dropped below 1,000.

This has led to rental prices in Dublin increasing 2.7% on a year-on-year basis.

The increases were even steeper across other cities with a year-on-year jump of 6.9% recorded in Cork, 8.3% in Galway, 8.9% in Limerick and 10% in Waterford.

The average rent nationally now stands at €1,516 per month. This is a spike of 6.8% and marks the 36th consecutive quarter where rents are higher than they were in the previous twelve months.

Excluding the cities, the average rent across the country stands at €1,153, an increase of 11.9% on last year. In Mayo, Roscommon and Leitrim rents rose by over 20% on a year-on-year basis. 

Record levels of inflation were recorded across Connacht, Ulster and Munster. Stocks were also at a record low across all the provinces with just 236 homes available to rent in Munster, 232 in Leinster (outside Dublin) and 172 across Connacht and Ulster.

The Daft report notes that the increase in rents “reflects an on-going and unprecedented scarcity of rental homes”.

“Covid-19 temporarily reshuffled Ireland’s rental problems but the latest figures confirm those problems of shortages are getting worse over time,” Ronan Lyons, economist at Trinity College Dublin and author of the report, said.

“While some argue against the construction of large numbers of purpose built rental homes, any solution to the chronic shortage of rental homes in Ireland must include building new ones.

“In this regard, the pipeline of almost 45,000 new build-to-rent homes – while concentrated in the Dublin area – is particularly welcome.”

Lyons concluded: “More than 50,000 more rental homes have been proposed. Their construction would help improve the availability and affordability of rental homes, something for policymakers and planners to consider.”

In a statement, the Institute of Professional Auctioneers & Valuers (IPAV), said the latest report shows “a severe and diminishing lack of rental properties to meet demand”.

“While there is such a low level of stock, rents are going to remain elevated,” Pat Davitt, IPAV Chief Executive, said.

“We’ve had some expert opinion warning of the risks associated with rent controls. We believe further rent controls are not the answer but increasing the supply of homes for rental and for purchase.  This is critical from a social and economic perspective.”

    2k a month on rent is the same as monthly repayments for roughly 800k mortgage. What would your monthly earning want to be to get approval for a 800k mortgage?? Housing and rents in Ireland are completely out of control……

It is an easy dig to blame the gov, but why not focus the blame on the ordinary people putting rents up ahead of inflation every year – the vulture funds are only doing what Irish people have been doing for years.

    @Colin: It’s not so much foreign investment per se, it’s the low interest rate. That’s a result of the credit crisis of a decade ago, and one thing it’s meant for is to make it easier for southern European countries to pay off their debts. But this had another consequence, which was that it’s harder to make money off interest for investors, so they’ve been looking for other investments including the property market. It’s one of the reasons I was against the one-size-fits-all EU monetary policy, since this continent is not a natural currency region, and I’m afraid the property market price hikes are testament to that.

    Can I ask as I don’t know the answer but why is rental history not taken into consideration when applying for a mortgage or is it now? Surely a person/ couple etc who can show they’re paying €1000 or so a month over a set period of time have demonstrated an ability to pay a mortgage. Paying €1000 plus a month in rent must make it near impossible to save for a deposit.

    @Rostyballs78: Most mortgage lenders in Ireland will indeed take rental payments (as demonstrated on your bank statement) as proof of ability to pay, however you will also need to be saving on top of that. I guess from their perspective they need to ensure that if (and when) interest rates do rise, that you have adequate disposable income/buffer, that will enable you to afford the higher mortgage repayments. They also stress-test the mortgage repayments for this by a few percent when calculating your net disposable income which is a key part of a Bank’s underwriting process.

    @Mike: does the truth change because of who I am? Play the ball not the person

    @Craic_a_tower: I don’t care who’s to blame. It shouldn’t be happening. The Dáil members spend way too much time debating whose fault it is instead of getting together and fixing the problem.

    If the greedy capitalistic landlords were making so much money you wonder why so many have left the market and why there is so few properties there to rent

    @Jerry Slattery: I’m sure there are plenty of reasons why landlords leave the market. They took out mortgage during the so called Celtic tiger, now paid off mostly by tenants, money made? Sell off the property now while prices are at a high? Or their kids are now grown up and in need of their own home which they can’t afford, so inheritance used, etc. But flip your question around, why are the majority of landlords not getting out. If it was so bad they would all leave?

    @Mick Heery: yes I can prove my tenants failed to pay rent on time several times it will also show fluctuations when deduction were taken from rent to buy things for the property. Records that most tenants don’t keep but will need the landlord to provide this information. Takes time and effort

    Well, you have the likes of Varadkar getting away with statements like “one person’s rent is another person’s income”. What was that about, if not suggesting it’s better to allow 1500-2500 rents rather than causing financial hardship to those who won 5-10 houses…

    In reality nothing will ever get done, as long as the number of people owning houses (or having paid most of their mortgages) outnumber the ” new entrants” to the housing market, i.e. young people and expats without money. People might fake outrage publicly, but who will protest to have the house prices (and rent prices) halved? Certainly not those who have paid through the nose so far…
    No, protests are reserved nowadays for BS issues.

    As a student my rent was only 30 quid a week. I got one single bare room, except for a mattress, a sink with a cold tap. Visitors sat on floor. I was pi**ed most of time so didn’t mind living in a s**t h*le

    @Alan Campbell: they were all made illegal to rent and they never thought where the people living in them would go. Hence we would need more property just to deal with those people without any increase in population but we did get an increased population. The standard of rentals by law is higher than most other parts of Europe
