What estate agents charge in Ranelagh

The short answer

Ranelagh sits in the south city suburbs band for Dublin: 1% – 1.25% plus VAT at 23%.
Commission is negotiable. It is the largest single cost of selling and the one you have most control over.
Always compare the total, not the percentage — marketing, photography and whether VAT is included move the figure more than a tenth of a point does.

Ranelagh sits in the 1% to 1.25% plus VAT south-city band. Values are high and competition between agents is intense, which is exactly the combination that gives a seller leverage on fee.

On a €750,000 sale, the difference between 1% and 1.25% is €1,875 before VAT. That is worth a second and third conversation.

Period houses here vary enormously in condition and layout behind similar facades. Ask which specific sales the agent used, and whether those properties were in comparable condition.

The full picture for the county, including every fee band and how to negotiate here, is in our guide to estate agent fees in Dublin.
