Why are landlords selling rental properties in Ireland now?

Answered by Team Lorraine Mulligan Estate Agents in Lucan and Celbridge. Updated 30 October 2026.

Many landlords are choosing to sell due to upcoming rental law changes taking effect from 2026, tighter rent controls, increased compliance requirements and uncertainty around long-term profitability. At the same time, property prices remain strong in many areas, making it an attractive moment to release equity.

In commuter locations such as Celbridge, Lucan and North Kildare, demand from owner-occupiers continues to support strong sales activity.
