Did you know that Long term vacant and derelict residential properties are being targeted with a new tax aimed at encouraging owners to bring neglected homes back into use...

Across Ireland, We’ve all driven by properties sitting empty for years and thought: “Imagine what you could do with that place!”

Do you think there should there be more pressure on owners to renovate, sell or bring derelict properties back into use?

Or do you think a new tax is the wrong way to tackle the problem?

Heres what a 7% tax actually means in euro terms for derelict property owners...

A derelict property valued at €75,000 taxed at 7% would be €5,250 per year.

A derelict property valued at €100,000 taxed at 7% would be €7,000 per year.

A derelict property valued at €150,000 taxed at 7% would be €10,500 per year.

Suddenly 7% sounds like a pretty significant incentive to do something with a property that’s been left derelict. 👀

Will a tax at this level encourage owners to renovate or sell?

🇮🇪🏡 BUDGET 2027 What does it actually mean for Irish housing?

Today’s Budget brought a number of announcements for first-time buyers, renters and homeowners so we’ve broken down some of the key housing measures without all the jargon. 👇

➡️ Changes to Help to Buy
🔑 Increased support for First-Time Buyers
🏠 Changes to the Rent Tax Credit
🏗️ Investment in new and affordable housing
🌱 More support for retrofitting and energy upgrades

There are definitely some positives…

🏡 Another interesting change for homeowners…

The Rent-a-Room Relief limit is increasing from €14,000 to €16,000, with the scheme also being extended to qualifying detached auxiliary dwellings of 32–45m².

For homeowners with extra space, this could open up a really interesting opportunity additional tax-free rental income while also bringing more accommodation into use.

But for us, the BIG question remains:

Will these measures actually help get more homes built and make buying or renting a home more achievable?

Because supports are important but without enough homes available, Supply remains at the heart of Ireland’s housing problem.
