Yes, you can absolutely sell a tenanted property, but it requires careful handling to comply with tenancy laws in Ireland. If the lease is ongoing and you wish to sell with tenants in situ, your estate agent will market the property to investors who are open to acquiring it with tenants already in place.
Alternatively, if you plan to sell the property with vacant possession, you’ll need to issue the correct notice period to tenants based on the length of their tenancy, as outlined by the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB). Your estate agent can help you navigate this process, advise on timelines, and communicate with tenants respectfully and professionally to ensure minimal disruption. Proper planning ensures a smoother sale and protects your legal interests.
