Buyers’ changing profile means market is much different to Tiger days

Whether it has been US firms such as Blackstone and Kennedy Wilson, Asian firms such as Oxley, or big European players such as DZ Bank, investment from overseas is showing few signs of slowing down.

Some of these players, particularly the private equity funds, have been referred to by some as “vulture funds” and have been criticised for buying up Irish assets at bottom dollar prices.

Maples and Calder partner Diarmuid Mawe however disagrees, and he is well placed to comment as head of the commercial proeprty division for the law firm in Dublin.

“The arrival of the international investors to the market saw initial concerns being raised, but such concerns were short-sighted in nature,” he says.

Central Bank announces new regulations on residential mortgage lending

The Central Bank of Ireland has published new regulations on residential mortgage lending.

Loan to Value (LTV) for principal dwelling houses (PDH)

There are different limits for different categories of buyers:

  • PDH mortgages for non-first time buyers are subject to a limit of 80 per cent LTV.
  • For first time buyers of properties valued up to €220,000, a maximum LTV of 90 per cent will apply. For first time buyers of properties over €220,000 a 90 per cent limit will apply on the first €220,000 value of a property and an 80 per cent limit will apply on any excess value over this amount.
  • The cumulative monetary value of loans for principal dwelling purposes which breach either of these limits should not exceed 15 per cent of the euro value of all PDH loans on an annual basis.

Housing loans for borrowers in negative equity who wish to obtain a mortgage for a new property are not within the scope of the LTV limits.

Thousands of rented homes in capital found to be substandard

A major report by the country’s largest local authority has uncovered extensive health and safety issues facing tenants.

Environmental experts inspected more than 5,000 homes in Dublin’s North and South Inner City and found that over 60pc required remedial works.

More than 2,500 homes were brought to the required standard following the inspections.

Figures seen by the Irish Independent show that 100 prohibition notices have been issued to landlords who failed to respond to warning letters.

These orders, once lodged against a landlord, prevent them from taking on new tenants.

And the council has initiated 76 separate legal actions over a two-year period against landlords who do not to comply with these orders.

City planning ‘crucial for future prosperity’

Property Industry Ireland director Peter Stafford said the lack of planning was now becoming an urgent issue.

“Two out of every three people live on just 2.4pc of Ireland’s landmass and we are becoming an urban country.

“Ireland is benefitting from the opportunities that come with being an urban country with large, dynamic cities as incubators for investment and innovation, but we are also facing negative consequences.

“Dublin now ranks alongside Rio de Janeiro, Rome and LA for congestion,” Mr Stafford added.

Mr Staffford said that this meant Ireland was being left behind by competitor countries in the race for investment.

House prices due to fall sharply in wake of pandemic

House prices are likely to fall sharply over the next year, a leading think tank has predicted.

The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) has warned that prices are set to plunge by 12pc by the end of next year, with the property market likely to be sluggish over the next year and a half.

Economic impacts from the virus will have a huge dampening effect on house prices, particularly the drop in household income and the surge in unemployment.

Covid-19: Property industry and insurers must grapple with pandemic risk

Covid-19 has meant shuttering multiple business premises across the State. Yet tenants must continue to pay their rent and landlords must continue to service their borrowings. Real estate lawyers in common law jurisdictions have quickly reached a broad consensus around the legal realities of this situation.

First, tenants are unlikely to be able to walk away from their lease obligations. Most leases have no “force majeure” provisions and the shutdown is unlikely to amount to “frustration” (a view supported by a Hong Kong case arising from the 2002 Sars [Severe acute respiratory syndrome] outbreak). Second, landlords and tenants will find that the standard definition of “insured risks” for buildings insurance is of no assistance. Policies are typically concerned only with losses arising from physical damage and so even “loss of rent” cover is of no use.

Value of development land sold rises to almost €500m in first half of year

Value of development land sold rises to almost €500m in first half

The value of development land sales rose to €490 million in the first half of this year in spite of a more than 50 per cent fall in transactions, according to research from commercial real estate agency Cushman & Wakefield.

The 16 per cent increase came as the number of transactions fell from 112 in the first half of 2018 to 54 between January and June this year.

Cushman & Wakefield said the fall in transaction volumes may be linked to rising development costs and mortgage limits for buyers.
