Additionally, there’s the potential to lease the café/bar space for an extra €40,000 per year, bringing the total possible revenue to €312,000. This leaves substantial room for running costs.
Option B:

Room 1 (Double, Single): €1,600/month

Room 4 (Double): €1,400/month

Room 6 (Double, Single): €1,400/month
Room 7 (Double, Single): €1,400/month
Additionally, the commercial café/bar space can be leased for €40,000 annually, bringing the total potential income to €160,000 annually under the HMO model. This results in an attractive 11.9% YIELD.
Prime Location:
Situated on the corner of Eccles Street and bustling Dorset Street, the Eccles Townhouse is conveniently located next to secure private parking, and just steps from the 747 & Aircoach airport shuttle stop. Croke Park, cultural hotspots such as the Hugh Lane Art Gallery, James Joyce Cultural Centre, and several theatres are all within walking distance.

Building Energy Rating (BERs) give information on how to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your energy costs. All properties bought, sold or rented require a BER. BERs carry ratings that compare the current energy efficiency and estimated costs of energy use with potential figures that a property could achieve. Potential figures are calculated by estimating what the energy efficiency and energy costs could be if energy saving measures were put in place. The rating measures the energy efficiency of your home using a grade from ‘A’ to ‘G’. An ‘A’ rating is the most efficient, while ‘G’ is the least efficient. The average efficiency grade to date is ‘D’. All properties are measured using the same calculations, so you can compare the energy efficiency of different properties.
