As rents continue to rise across Ireland, one terraced house in Drogheda is renting on Irish property website Daft.ie for €3,250 per month.
The 4 bed, 3 bath property is located in Boyle O’Reilly Terrace, Drogheda, Co. Louth, and is described as “new to market”.
“An excellent four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence, superbly positioned directly opposite the hospital – just a stone’s throw away,” the seller says in the property listing, referring to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital across the street.
“This property has been recently renovated throughout, offering bright, modern and comfortable living spaces.”
The seller also mentions that the residence features “ample off-street parking to the front”.
Another selling point is the “large, fully enclosed rear garden, ideal for those seeking extra outdoor space.”
They add: “Early viewing is highly recommended.”
The house has a BER rating of D1. It also has a utility room.
According to Google Maps, the house is a 50-minute drive from the Dublin Spire, or a 1-hour and 20 minute journey via public transport.
The property has 815 views at the time of this article’s publication.
Rents have continued to increase across Ireland in recent years. According to a Daft.ie report late last year, market rents nationwide are now one third above pre-Covid levels and two thirds higher than the Celtic Tiger peak.
Moreover, opposition political parties have slammed incoming changes to the legislation on rent, which is due to begin in March of this year, with Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin arguing that the regulations will result in increased rents for the vast majority of renters.
Housing Minister James Browne has defended the new measures, saying that they will give tenants more housing security, while critics have argued that the measures will ultimately result in a significant increase in rents across the country.
