Important Note:

The above example should be viewed as a broad guideline, a useful generic formula for calculating potential return on investment

It does not take into consideration the additional mandatory fees and taxes which typically approximate 10% of the purchase price.

There is no allowance for any extraordinary repairs or maintenance, although it is unlikely that an owner will incur any significant costs with a new build property.

Furnishing costs have been excluded. (A complete furnishing package, including white goods, tailor made for a 2 bedroom rental property can be purchased for less than 10,000 Euros.)

Mortgage Products and associated charges vary between Lenders and in accordance with an individual’s financial and personal circumstances.

The above calculation assumes an Interest Only rather than a Repayment Mortgage.

Capital Growth is assumed at 15% - this percentage may be a higher or lower figure.

Tax is due on any profits.

Lettings Agents commission vary between 10% and 30%. Employing an Agent to let and or manage your property is optional; we highly recommend taking advantage of this service if you want to achieve market rents and maximum occupancy rates.

Always err on the side of caution when calculating potential yields and return on investment.
