]]>Renters will have the right to tenancies of “unlimited” duration under new draft laws from Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien.
The laws are part of a package of measures that includes a 2% cap on annual rent increases in designated pressure zones and aims to “significantly” reduce rent increases.
Indefinite tenancies will come into force six months after enactment and on new tenancies settled after that point. This will give renters the right to a lease with a total duration of six years.
The grounds for termination include landlords having the right to end tenancies if they need the property for their own use or for a family member.
They can also end tenancies if they plan to change the business use of a property, or refurbish it substantially, or if they intend to sell it within nine months.

]]>Returns for around 23% of properties liable to the Local Property Tax (LPT) have not yet been made. Revenue received LPT returns for 1.5 million properties, representing 77% of the expected numbers.
A detailed breakdown shows that almost 32% of property owners valued their property at €0-€200,000. A further 22% declared their property is worth between €200,001 and €262,500.
20% submitted a valuation of between €262,501 and €350,000 for their property, while almost 11% said their property fell into the €350,001-€437,500 band.
€107m has already been paid for 2022.
Revenue continues to process some returns and has reassured property owners that they will be treated as having complied with their LPT obligations on time.

]]>Homeowners have been warned Revenue officials are likely to challenge them if they attempt to undervalue their homes for the property tax.
1.4 million letters started arriving in homes from Revenue telling people to self-assess the value of their homes on November 1, submit the details by November 7, and either pay at that stage in a lump sum or indicate what alternative payment option will be used.
Revenue has warned that sheds, home offices, garages, greenhouses, garden rooms, and more than one acre of land (unless it is a farm), will all have to be included in the valuation.
Next year an extra 100,000 homes will be subject to the tax. Those who bought new builds, and others who had exemptions for the likes of pyrite damage in Leinster, are no longer exempt.
Even those who have paid the tax every year since 2013 have to put in a new valuation and submit a new return.
A Revenue spokesperson said the letters sent out include an estimated valuation of properties. ‘If there is a concern about a self-assessed valuation made by a property owner, Revenue will ask the owner to support his or her valuation with evidence of the information sources,’ which will be reviewed.

]]>Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said the ‘Help to Buy’ scheme will remain in place for a little longer and that there will be an announcement on this on Budget Day.
Mr Varadkar said increases in house prices are unwelcome for those trying to buy, but that the Government’s ‘Housing for All’ initiative will see a ramp-up in investment in social housing.
His comments come as two separate reports found that asking prices for homes in the third quarter were up 9% across the country compared to the same period in 2020.
Meanwhile, IPAV’s chief executive Pat Davitt said agents around the country are now reporting more second hand properties coming to the market. The low interest rates and fixed interest rates with longer terms are encouraging more people to get on the property ladder.
He said as long as stock is in short supply and money to buy is available, there will be competition in the market and prices will continue to rise.

]]>Workers are still looking to move away from the cities despite the easing of Covid restrictions and the return of office life. This trend is now snowballing rather than slackening off.
Regional and town property prices have been increasing twice as fast as those in cities. The Average House Price Index report shows that the price of an average 3-bed semi-detached home has risen a massive €3,500 a month since the end of June.
The biggest price rises came in commuter counties and bigger towns in anticipation of remote working. Price increases in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway cities ranged much lower as a result, from 1.5% to 2.4%.
The race for larger homes for less money in high-amenity locations has intensified in towns like Nenagh, where 3-bed semis that previously fetched €190,000 have sold for €235,000 – an increase of €45,000.
“The effect is being felt nationwide with counties such as Tipperary (9.2%), Donegal (8.4%) and Kilkenny (7.3%) all experiencing sharp rises in Q3 as buyers seek value locations,” said REA spokesperson Barry McDonald.

]]>National Asset Management Agency (Nama) chief executive Brendan McDonagh is due to tell the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that the agency can only finance developments where it expects to make money.
He will point out commercial viability is becoming more “challenging” across the sector. “Soaring construction costs… are all putting upward pressure on the cost of delivering housing in Ireland.”
Nama cannot prevent cuckoo funds from buying up apartment blocks or other residential units put up for sale as it is legally bound to achieve the top price for properties.
Mr McDonagh will tell TDs and senators that delivery of 2,400 homes that have received planning permission will be “extremely challenging”.
The “vast majority” of Nama-funded newly built residential units are sold to individual purchasers, many of them first-time buyers.
