Dublin’s most sought-after homes lie in the Georgian squares of Dublin 2 and the red-brick avenues of Ballsbridge and Ranelagh, along the Docklands and in the villages of the coast, from Howth to Dalkey. Agents are licensed by the Property Services Regulatory Authority; Revenue collects stamp duty; and every residential sale is published on the official Residential Property Price Register.
Where people buy
Georgian Dublin 2, Ballsbridge and Donnybrook, Ranelagh and Rathmines, the Docklands, and the coastal villages of Howth, Dalkey and Malahide.

Check that your agent holds a PSRA licence; your solicitor handles the contract; Revenue’s stamp duty is due on the purchase; and the sale appears on the Residential Property Price Register. We never publish prices.
Use a solicitor from the start: in Ireland, the solicitor handles the contract and the title.
Our advice: read Revenue’s stamp duty pages before you bid.
