The Big Movers

Rising rents

Renters in Dublin have gotten some more bad news.

The second quarter of this year has seen prices shoot up by 7.1% across the country, with the most dramatic increases taking place in Dublin where the average rent went up by 9.2%

Roughly speaking, this works out at an increase of more than €100 a month.

The hike in rental costs in recent years means that the cost in Dublin is now just 3.5% off of its highest point in the final quarter of 2007.
