Neighbourhood and lifestyle

Rathfarnham sits at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, with Marlay Park, Rathfarnham Castle and the River Dodder giving it a green, village feel. Dublin Bus services run to the city centre, and the Luas green line is accessible at nearby Dundrum and Balally. Shopping at Dundrum Town Centre is a short drive away.

Buyers are mostly families who want schools, space and a south-side address, plus downsizers. It falls partly into the Dublin 14 and 16 postcodes, which are sought after for their schools.

Buying in Ireland as a foreigner

There are no restrictions on non-residents buying Irish property. The process runs through a solicitor, with contracts exchanged after the sale is agreed. Stamp duty is 1% of the price up to €1 million and 2% from €1m to €1.5m and 6% above €1.5m. Annual Local Property Tax is based on valuation bands. Irish banks lend to non-residents rarely, so many buyers use cash or lending from another country.

Buying property in Rathfarnham: FAQ

What is the average price in Rathfarnham?

The median asking price is €750,000 across 105 listings, with half of listings between €550,000 and €950,000.

Do bids usually exceed asking prices?

In Dublin's competitive market, this is common, particularly for family houses. Check recent sold prices before you bid.

Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?

It is difficult. Irish lenders focus on residents with local income, so non-residents often use cash or arrange finance abroad.

1% on the first €1 million and 2% from €1m to €1.5m and 6% above €1.5m. New homes may have VAT in the price instead, so confirm with your solicitor.

Is Rathfarnham well connected?
