Thousands of tenants in Dublin face an unwelcome extra bill this year as spiralling rents tip them above the €2,500-a-month level at which a little-known 1 per cent stamp duty applies.

Some 55 per cent of three-bedroom Dublin city family homes currently up for rent through online property firm Daft.ie are quoting above the threshold, according to an analysis by Goodbody Stockbrokers. A third of apartments in the capital are in the same territory.

HOUSES PRICES ACROSS the country are rising more than €2,000 every single month on average, according to the latest House Price Report from Daft.ie.

On a national basis, the average price of a house is €240,000 – 11.7% higher than at this stage last year.

In the last three months alone, house prices have risen 4.3% across the country.

Report author, and Trinity College Dublin economist, Ronan Lyons said that strong demand and a relaxation of Central Bank rules on deposits was contributing to the surge in prices but the high cost of construction meant that supply was struggling to keep up.

The rampant spread of an invasive plant species is devaluing properties substantially and costing home owners tens of thousands of euro to remedy. Japanese knotweed can now be found “in every county in Ireland” and there is a chronic lack of awareness of the scale of the issue or its devastating effect, according to Dr Frances Giaquinto, a botanist and ecologist.

Addressing the annual conference of the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (IPAV), Giaquinto called for clear guidelines on how to handle and address the invasive species. In the UK, estate agents are obliged to tell potential buyers where it is present on a site and a similar approach needs to be adopted here. Giaquinto recommended that mortgage providers should insist on a detailed land survey – as well as a building survey – before purchase.

There is nothing new under the sun and this applies as much to the Irish housing market as anything else. The truly alarming thing about the current housing crisis is that it is really just a rerun of the crisis the preceded the housing crash.

This relationship goes back decades, to the massive surge in housebuilding that followed the economic turnaround in the 1960s and 1970s brought about by Sean Lemass’s economic policies.

Successful housebuilding then, as now, required one thing above all else: rising house prices. This is best achieved by controlling supply. And the best way for housebuilders to do this is by controlling the market for building land as well as influencing government policy towards land use. Manipulating the planning process also helps. All of the above have been features of the Irish housebuilding industry for decades.

If not quite back in force, then first-time buyers are certainly looking to buy in greater numbers than in recent times. With rents so high, it’s now cheaper to buy than rent in many parts of the State – although this doesn’t necessarily mean that buying is always best; it will depend on the individual’s circumstances.
