As a prospective tenant, our team of professional letting specialists will help make your journey into rented accommodation as easy as possible. The first step for all tenants is to find a suitable place to rent in Ireland.. In the current market, this can be challenging due to the low volumes of available rental properties.
At DNG, we advertise all properties to rent in Dublin online with full description, high quality photos and pricing which enables a prospective tenant to get a real sense of whether the property is suitable. All enquiries are submitted via the online portals and where possible, a viewing is arranged with the tenant. Please note, it is not possible to show a property to all those applying due to the high volume of enquiries received for every rental property.
Before you even start your search, there are a few things you should have ready on hand – this will mean you’ll be ready to go as soon as you find the right home for you in Ireland.
Have your references current, up to date and ready to go so an offer can be submitted immediately after a viewing.
Set up an ‘alert notifications’ so you are notified automatically of any new properties available in your chosen area/price bracket
Be flexible for viewing times - often it is not possible to accommodate specific viewing times given the high volume of interest. Evenings and lunchtimes are popular with many.
If you are interested in taking a property at the viewing. Register your interest immediately with an email - This email should include a summary of the group (number of people, working status etc) and accompanying references.
If your offer is accepted and you are asked to pay a booking deposit to secure the property. Pay immediately to avoid disappointment as often there are several groups making an offer.Be late for appointments. It happens to us all, however, it can lead to you missing a viewing.
Read the advert carefully to make sure it meets your criteria - The adverts should have all the information you need re the property and services included (parking etc).
Best to only view properties if you are in a position to move in within 2 weeks as most advertised properties are available immediately.The letting market moves in cycles and during periods of low availability properties can be hard to find and secure. Remember, there are ample amounts of rental properties, the issue is they are mostly occupied, resulting in low levels of available properties to let. Over time, these pressures will ease and normally supply of available properties will resume.
