Leinster Insider

Leinster property calculators

Free tools built on official Property Price Register and RTB data for 203 Leinster towns.

What can I afford?

Your income + deposit → the maximum you can borrow under Central Bank rules, and exactly which Leinster towns fit your budget.

Rent vs buy

Pick a town. We use its real median price and average rent to show whether buying or renting wins — and when it breaks even.

Stamp duty

The exact Irish residential stamp duty on any price, with the 1% / 2% / 6% bands broken down.

Afford + commute

Set a budget and a max commute to Dublin — see which towns fit both. The combination the big portals don't do.

LPT calculator 2026

Find your Local Property Tax band and annual charge, with your local authority's adjustment and typical LPT for 200+ Leinster towns.

Rent increase cap 2026

The maximum legal rent increase under the March 2026 rules: 2% a year or CPI, whichever is lower. Check a notice you received or one you are about to serve.

Weekend planner

Pick a county → its trails, nature reserves and heritage at a glance.

Compare two towns

Pick any two Leinster towns and a buyer profile — commuter, family or investor — for a weighted verdict on price, yield, rent and rail access. The head-to-head the big portals don't do.

Planning tracker

Recent planning applications within 7 km of any Leinster town, from the Department of Housing database. Search by area to see what has been lodged or decided in the last 12 months.
