How much is your Rent? (2005)

How much rent do you pay (per person, per month, excluding utility bills)?

Rabies · 13-01-2005 09:05PM

In about two weeks time I will be moving out of home and to my own place. Going to work out at about €300/month excluding bills.

462.50 per person per month, although since it comes out of a joint rent and expenses account, and I earn way more, it's not rigourously split.

RuggieBear · 23-01-2005 11:48PM

Myself and the girlfriend are paying 950 for a one bed flat on the Grand canal in Dublin 2.....

Third_Echelon · 13-03-2005 08:07PM

550 for a double room in Temple Bar.

Saruman · 13-03-2005 08:11PM

Too much....

The rent prices in Dublin are off the wall!

FreekyGeek · 23-03-2005 05:31PM

I'm just moving into an en-suite, double room for €300 sharing in a house share with two others (3 bedroom house) in Cork! I'm sure the same room in Dublin would be about €500! Should the poll take into account peoples location as well.

€287 a month for a single room in a house share in Foxrock with 4 others. House isn't great but it's cheap, the rent is good and my flatmates are all sound

Civilian_Target · 12-05-2005 12:28AM

Dublin rental prices aren't too bad, especially given the price of property - and they're falling too, which is nice.

I'm paying €400 a month, for a Double Room in a new 3-bed detatched house in Blanchardstown.

alfrizmartin · 12-05-2005 09:59AM

Rent aint too expensive, mortguage on a new apartment is about €1000 a montha nd there is maintenance fees for about €1000 a year, so if you are getting rent for about €1100 a month for a 2 bed you aren't doin too bad.

Gilgamesh · 12-05-2005 10:05AM

moving to my new penthouse apartment over the next few days.
Rent is 1500 excluding bills

Tobias Greeshman · 12-05-2005 10:07AM

€240 p/month in a double room, the house really is crap, I'd consider moving out, but the rent is dirt cheap and my housemates are sound, and live really close to work too.

Neesha · 31-05-2005 02:15AM

€360 for a double room in Cork

Dizzyblabla · 31-05-2005 02:56AM

hummm.. I live at home, but my mom just bought an apt, the mortgage is gonna be about €1000 a month, and she was quoted €850 cause it was "so nicely furnished and had all mod cons" that's for 2bedrooms, one en-suite and one will have to use the bathroom (yes, it has a bath!) which is not in the room, so although house prices are going up, the rent seems to be leveling out, maybe she would have been better off buying one in Dublin!!

FuzzyWuzzyWazza · 31-05-2005 04:39AM

Payin' €325 p/month in Kildare. just inside the border.
Thats for a double room in a shared house.

SonicDoom2005 · 18-06-2005 04:36PM

Dutchboy · 24-06-2005 10:56PM

MidnightQueen · 04-07-2005 03:04PM

Don't worry mate! There are loads of place available in Dublin and it's easy to find a room within 30 minutes of the city these days. I've seen places for €300/€350. You certainly won't need to pay more than €400.

nesf · 23-08-2005 01:49PM

€250 a month for room in an apartment* next to UCC. Although this is cheaper than it should be, I live with a couple who are nice enough to split the rent equally per person rather than by room. By room it'd be over €300 a month.

*It's not really an apartment, it's the upstairs section of a house. The houses were built in the 50's and the two floors were always seperate. Seperate entrance etc.

Point us in that direction man! I've NEVER seen anything half decent for less than 420/430. I've got to look for a new place again and I think I'm gonna be rammed even worse than I am now (450 plus bills)

Jerryc · 15-09-2005 02:25PM

woohoo...

i'm paying the cheapest here so far - €175/month, double room in limerick

Dagon · 15-09-2005 06:42PM

Some people here are paying crazy rent! I'm in Sligo, and I live in a very nice house with three prof. females. We have a big kitchen, dining room, and huge living room. All mod cons. It is also in a quite affluent area of the town and is very quiet. Semi-detached house. My bedroom is the smallest in the house, but it's perfect for me.

I pay €180 per month.

po0k · 20-09-2005 01:36AM

You also live in Sligo.

RuggieBear · 20-09-2005 01:56AM
