Risk v Reward with HAP tenants is borderline anyway, extra costs involved for landlord with HAP are making landlord involvement borderline anyway. Tenants are making up shortfall anyway Tax treatment of landlords is harsh on this country anyway. Legitimate expenses that are allowed in other businesses are refused to landlords. As is landlords are willing to do long-term leases with councils if they accept the tenant risks You really seem to have an issue wit Airbnb's if you deregulate a market you cannot have its and bits. Airbnb's are a reaction to risk/reward by some LL's. If Airbnb's are completely removed from RPZ's you will be left with a short term rental issues which effect business and tourism If you are right about the level of vacent properties what you propose would cause a property price collapse in that type of property. In most cases CGT may not be an issue anyway. And even if it was piece collapse by dumping would negate any benefit from it. If I owned one I've staying put Bla Bla Bla, again more and more regulation in a deregulation plan CGT not an issue with selling private residences, the reason people do not is because poor available options in the areas they live in and even if there is no margin in it Sounds good in theory but we have howls about government's overpaying for loan books.bthese loans were bought in packages which means it's impossible to disassemble Sounds good but you are throwing a private banking problem onto the taxpayer. So the government take the crappy ones and banks reposses the valuable ones This failed to work in the US however in the last property crash. Deregulation and banking has caused problems whenever they are hand in hand. Bonuses are too much of a temptation to banking executivesYou could go on and on but your plan is not an option in the reality of politics

Can't find the link but government money bought every second house sold in new estates this year in Dublin and 40% nationally. With big financial potholes to fill with covid and brexit these figures can't be sustained - can they ?!!

PropQueries wrote: » In yesterday's Government press release 'Minister O’Brien announces €3.1 billion housing budget'. On top of this, it was announced '€1.4 billion investment in water services' I know that over the past 30 years, many sites in towns around the country that were zoned residential couldn't achieve planning permission due to lack of adequate water services e.g. 'lack of wastewater treatment capacity' is a primary reason for not approving planning permission for new housing in many towns around the country. Granted, water treatment plants are needed but shouldn't they be forcing developers to build housing where there is already adequate wasterwater treatment capacity? Basically, is this €1.4 billion "investment" in water services just a back-door bailout for FF landowners down the country? I guess we will learn the answer to that question from where they decide to "invest". It's just a thought and I won't put my tin foil hat on just yet...

The increase in boiling water notices and interruptions to water supply experienced over the last few years affect rural & urban, new & established areas alike.

Whatever about the residential market where it is clear there is demand combined with relatively low individual leverage, commercial property looks goosed.

What fees / percentages of them are a given? Like solicitor / stamp duty etc? Asking on example of 320k property in Kildare. Thank you

PropQueries wrote: » That's a good question. Years ago the site/property owners could just sit on them for years in the belief (justified in many cases), that there would always be some level of demand for their sites/properties from retail, office or hotel use etc. Internet shopping, WFH etc. has turned that future potential use on its head. If they can't develop them, who will buy them and for what use? Maybe someone can clarify how long before they are required to wait before they must write down the values on their books? I'm assuming extending and pretending won't wash with many investors going forward.

PropQueries wrote: » 100% agree. Nothing really done since independence. However, I did read an interesting analysis last year about how the cost of building a new estate in e.g. Kildare, Meath or Wicklow is actually more expensive than building a new estate in Co. Dublin when the cost of upgrading the roads, rail networks, water treatment plants etc. to cater for the new households are added into the equation.

Dutch home prices jumped in the third quarter as a shortage of properties enabled the market to shrug off an economic contraction. The median-weighted transaction price climbed 11.6% on an annual basis to 354,000 euros ($416,000), realtors association NVM reported on Thursday. In Amsterdam, the country’s biggest city, there was an 8% increase. “Consumers hardly have anything to choose from any more,” NVM Chairman Onno Hoes said in a statement. “The housing market really needs more supply to keep housing affordable for a large number of people.”
