Rents in Dublin - people must be joking!!!

[mccafferty cat]

Shop around and you will find good value. Rents are not falling as fast as they ought. Supply is greatly exceeding demand but landlords (on the pigs back for so long) are reluctant to drop them, in some cases preferring to leave them lie vacant for a time.

Anyone with a lease coming up for revision, who notices one or more places in their estate/complex which is up for sale, should start bargaining for a rent reduction with their landlord.

On a broader point, what are the chances of the reduction in rents provoking a panic-sell among "buy to let" landlords in the coming years? This would send house prices into a further spiral

Rents won't just be reduced by some act of god or the "market"

Only by the workers of Ireland uniting and rising up against the parasitic landlord class will we obtain affordable rents.

It's genuinely hard to tell if this is (a) a parody of a useless little commie being serious or (b) a useless little commie being serious.

So because I don't want to be screwed over any more by corrupt FF councillors, contruction bosses and landlords I am a useless commie? My landlord owns 8 houses and flats and lives off the rents. He is a parasite who lives off the labour of young working people. It's time to change this sorry state of affairs.

So what does "rising up" involve? And does every member of this "parasitic landloard class" own 8 houses? It all sounds very commie and useless to me.

It is very difficult to offer a property for sale and rent it at the same time.

The cohort of properties for sale are not available to the rental market in the short term.

i agree that is why accommodation is being taken of the sales market and going on the rental market. these are mostly newly developed apartments, but not always. people don't want to sell in this market, so they are opting to rent their property for the medium term.

The numbers of rental properties are increasing. It just takes a bit of time for some people to realise the bubble is over.

i doubt it, property may be sold because of finance difficulties, but i don't think they will be sold because landlords fear lower yields.

Doesn't one feed the other though?

Well if you don't want to rent then save your money and buy a f*cking place and quit whinging....

Anyone who buys a house solely for the purpose to rent out and make a profit is a parasite. Of course the parasites are now so numerous in society and have become part of the establishment no one really seems to question their greed any more.

Check out the list of places on our site that have changed the price in the last 2 weeks.

IMO plenty of places have been on the market so long that you should be able to negotiate the price down fairly easily.

I can't afford a place. I earn 20k a year FFS.
