Fully let Clontarf investment at €1.6m offers buyer attractive 8.3pc initial yield

Mixed-use Clontarf Road building comes to the market with potential for rental growth

Investors looking to secure a strong initial yield and an immediate opportunity to increase their rental income will be interested in a mixed-use investment in Clontarf, Dublin 3, which is being offered for sale by Hooke & MacDonald at a guide price of €1.6 million.

The property at 48-49 Clontarf Road comes to the market fully-let to nine well-established tenants, with the exception of one office suite which is terms agreed.

While the investment is set to deliver combined rental income of €144,075 per annum once that deal is signed, Conor Steen of Hooke & MacDonald notes that this falls below the building’s current market rental value. He says there is “excellent potential for rental growth at upcoming reviews, particularly taking account of the strategic location”.

Current occupiers include Clontarf Wines, Lotus Boutique, and Lemons Beauty Salon.
