Budget 2027 Ireland: What Changes for Buyers, Sellers, Homeowners and Renters?

Budget 2027 offers financial help to some buyers, renters and homeowners. Whether it makes finding a home easier is another question. At Howley Souhan, working across sales, lettings and property management in Dublin and Naas, we see two separate issues: what households can claim, and whether suitable homes are available within their budgets. The Budget, announced on 6 October 2026, includes changes...

Housing Supply Ireland 2026: Are We Finally Building Enough Homes?

For years, almost every conversation about the Irish property market has eventually arrived at the same place: we simply don't have enough homes.

I acquired a rental property and secured a lease over two years ago with Howley Souhan, they provided excellent service during that time and serviced all my needs as a tenant. They offered me another property when my landlord issued a notice to quit. Looking for a home is stressful, finding a home is extremely difficult, Howley Souhan took the stress and anxiety out of the equation. They are efficient and professional, I'm fortunate to have developed a tenancy relationship with them, especially so in today's housing crisis. Carlos de Carvalho.

I had a very good experience with the agent. Since I rent apartment from the agent, Jamie is very helpful. And Holly is great that fixed my apartment problem efficiently. Very good service.

Howley Souhan Estate Agents cannot do enough for me or my family. After looking for a home for so long we finally found a home with the help of David Souhan. A true gent he is and can’t recommend him or his agents enough. Never been more happier to deal with a more helpful and thoughtful man. Thanks very much to Howley Souhan Estate Agents and to David himself from myself and family, I will definitely be recommending these to families looking for a home in the future 🙂.

I don't know how the agency is in general, but the agent Janet Micks is great and helped me with everything possible, with any question I had she answered and solved it immediately. I'm glad it was Janet who helped me.

David has been nothing short of amazing, being new to renting out property, there are lots of things to consider and ensure are done right. We selected David after interviewing a few agents, he is knowledgeable about property and the locale, made everything so seamless and communicated really clearly and was incredibly responsive. We feel like we hit the jackpot with them and thankfully made the decision to have them manage the letting too. David had our property rented in 2 weeks and we had a selection of tenants to choose from, they thoroughly checked references and we are really happy with the tenants we have as a result! We highly recommend them for your letting needs- you won’t be disappointed!
