Now building — Ireland's first renter-powered platform

Real renting stories
deserve to be seen.

We're building a platform where Irish renters can share what renting is actually like — the conditions, the costs, the hidden realities. Not yet live. But being built right now.

The problem
What we already know

The numbers tell part of the story.
Renters tell the rest.

Official data from the RTB shows how much people pay. But it doesn't show what they find when they get there — the mould, the cold, the hidden fees, the maintenance that never gets fixed.

What official data doesn't capture: property conditions, hidden fees, deposit disputes, crèche availability, GP access, food access, or what it actually feels like to rent in your area. That's what we're building.
Why renting feels so difficult

It's not just the price.
It's everything else.

The Irish rental market is under pressure from multiple directions — and most renters are navigating it without any real information.

Not enough supply

Planning delays, slow development, and landlords leaving the market have created a shortage that pushes prices up and gives tenants little choice but to accept whatever is available.

Competition drives prices up

Dozens of applicants for every property means there is little pressure to maintain standards or justify prices. Tenants take what they can get.

Data shows price, not reality

The RTB publishes rent figures. Daft publishes listings. Nobody publishes what tenants actually experience — the conditions, the hidden costs, the maintenance issues that go unresolved.

Rights exist but aren't used

Tenants have legal protections through the RTB. Most don't know what they are, or feel too vulnerable to use them. Fear of losing a tenancy keeps people silent.

What's missing

There's no shared place for
real renter experiences.

You can check a restaurant on Google. You can read employee reviews on Glassdoor. But when you're about to sign a lease on a property you'll spend a third of your income on — there's nothing.

No address-based search

You can't search a specific property to see what previous tenants reported — conditions, costs, or whether maintenance was responsive.

No visibility on conditions

Listing photos show properties at their best. There's no community record of reported conditions — mould, cold, broken fixtures, or listings that don't match reality.

No neighbourhood intelligence

Whether there's a crèche with actual spaces nearby, a GP accepting patients, or a supermarket within walking distance — none of this exists in one place.

No area-level data

Individual tenant signals never become useful aggregated insight. No walkability indices, no transport access scores, no childcare pressure maps. The data exists — it just isn't collected.

What we're building

A platform built
by renters, for renters.

Property Index Ireland will be a place where tenants can contribute structured local insights — and where those signals become useful intelligence for everyone who comes after them.

Report your experience

Contribute structured insights about a specific address — conditions, costs, letting agent responsiveness, hidden fees.

Search before you sign

Look up any address or area to see community-reported insights before committing to a lease.

See the area intelligence

Individual signals become postcode-level indices — letting agent performance scores, crèche waitlist pressure, GP access by area.

Know your options

Links and signposting to the RTB, Threshold, and Local Authorities — so you know where to turn if things go wrong.

"This doesn't exist yet.
But it should."

We're at the beginning. Every person who signs up is helping prove this matters — to press, to policy makers, and to the organisations who support platforms like this one. If you've ever rented in Ireland and wished you'd known more before you signed, this is for you.

What the data becomes

Individual signals become
area intelligence.

Every structured insight contributed by a tenant feeds into a growing picture of what renting in Ireland is actually like — useful not just for renters, but for researchers, policy makers, and journalists.

Neighbourhood

Liveability indices

Walkability scores, transport access ratings, food access mapping, and amenity density by postcode — built from community signals.

Childcare

Crèche pressure maps

Waitlist length, availability, and weekly cost by area — the information that isn't published anywhere but every family moving area needs.

Tenancy management

Management responsiveness

How quickly issues are resolved, how maintenance requests are handled, and how professional the tenancy management experience is — aggregated across Ireland.

Research & policy

Quarterly trend reports

Area-level rental condition trends, cost divergence data, and liveability insights — available to researchers, journalists, and local authorities.
