I recently bought a new home and was thinking about renting, but to be honest all the hassle and added tax of renting put me off, and my house is currently on the market.
What with having to register it with the PRTB (and pay that fee every time your tenant changes), pay the €200 annual 2nd home NPPR tax, change your insurance over to a landlords, maintain it, pay tax on the rental income at 41%, then pay Capital Gains Tax on the remaining 12years of my mortgage, lose my tracker, have to pay an accountant annually to submit my tax returns etc, I just lost interest in it all and thought having one propery would be SO much handier.
As someone mentioned, you may just have to take a hit and reduce the property to a price that will definitely sell. Too many people are holding out for unrealistic prices they ain't ever gonna get for their house, and they are lying unsold because of it. I put my house on the market at a very realistic price, well below others in the area, and I had a viewer in the 1st 2 days who is very very interested.
To quote the film, if you reduce it, they will come!!
Good luck.
