The Reality of Property Management in Ireland | Landlord Insights

Managing rental properties is not passive income — and many landlords only realise this when something goes wrong.

Join Michael Powell (Principal, Powell Property) and Luke, Senior Property Manager, for an open and practical conversation about what professional property management in Ireland really looks like today.

They explore common misconceptions around self-management, why let-only services often lead to vacancy and lost rent, and how proactive inspections, compliance planning, and technology can reduce stress and protect income.
