The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) Rent Index is designed to measure developments in rental prices faced by those taking up new tenancies in the private rental sector and, from Q2 2023 utilising Annual Registration data, also existing tenancy rent price developments. The Rent Index report is the most accurate and authoritative rent report of its kind on the private rental sector in Ireland. Compared to other market monitoring reports produced for the Irish rental sector, the RTB/ESRI Rent Index has the considerable benefit of being based on regulatory data covering all new tenancy registrations regardless of how the property was advertised for rent.
Details on the standardised average rents for Skibbereen, Bantry, and Clonakilty between 2019 to Q4 2023 can be found in the relevant Rent Index published on the RTB website at: .
