Houses for Sale in Portmarnock, North Dublin Coast

Portmarnock sits in Fingal on the Howth peninsula side of the Irish Sea, known for the Velvet Strand beach and its links golf course. It has a commuter rail station, with services into central Dublin, and Dublin Airport is a short drive inland. Most of the housing is suburban estates, which explains the high count of three- and four-bedroom homes.

The closest alternatives are Malahide to the south and Swords inland, both in the same part of North County Dublin. Drumcondra, Glasnevin, Finglas and Sandymount are Dublin city suburbs rather than neighbours, so use them as comparison markets.

Ireland places no general ownership limit on foreign buyers. Residential stamp duty is 1% up to €1m, 2% on the slice between €1m and €1.5m and 6% above that, so on the median Portmarnock price it is roughly €6,900. Add solicitor fees, a survey and a stamp duty return filed by your solicitor.

Mortgage options for non-residents are narrow, with fewer lenders and higher deposits, so many overseas buyers use cash or equity from another home. Read the Ireland country page, the Ireland buying guide and mortgages in Ireland, then run numbers in our mortgage calculator.
