2015 has seen a leveling out of Dublin house price growth following three years of price inflation ending in what could be described as near-over inflation in 2014. This was as a direct result of the Capital Gains Exemption Scheme and the requirement to have purchased property before the end of 2014 in order to qualify, whereby buyers who purchased a property prior to the deadline and who holds it for seven years under this scheme will pay no CGT on its disposal. This created additional demand for a limited amount of available properties causing particularly strong price growth in Dublin last year.
