Ireland’s property market fundamentals make investing in rental accommodation highly appealing despite rising mortgage rates. Rapid population growth and inadequate housing supply continue to push rents higher across Ireland’s major cities.

With shrewd property selection and professional management, rental yields of 8-10% or more are achievable – providing strong inflation-beating returns. As specialists in the Irish property market, KPM Group helps investors maximise gains through our end-to-end property management services.

Surging Rental Demand Across Ireland

Ireland is experiencing its fastest population growth in over 150 years. Net inward migration and natural growth have seen the population expand by over 1 million since 2011 – an increase of over 20%.

This demographic boom has fuelled skyrocketing demand for rental accommodation. However, chronic under-construction means supply is failing to match rising tenant demand.

Ireland’s rental shortage hit a record low of just 700 properties available to rent nationwide in October 2022, down from over 3,400 a year earlier according to property website Daft.ie.

With demand swamping supply, rents have been rising by 10-15% annually in cities countrywide. Areas seeing particularly rapid rental inflation include Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and Waterford.

Strong Capital Appreciation Despite Rising Rates

Alongside rising rents, continued capital growth makes investment property purchases attractive. The average value of Irish dwellings has increased 132% from the 2012 lows according to the Central Statistics Office.

And shortages of new building means home prices continue rising rapidly. Residential property values were 8.6% higher nationally in September 2022 relative to the previous year.

Even with higher mortgage rates, this capital growth dynamic points to solid total return prospects on Irish rental accommodation.
