Wicklow is a Dublin commuter county with high rents, particularly in Bray, Greystones and Arklow. A national rent cap applies since March 2026, limiting increases to the lower of 2% or CPI inflation. Coastal towns are competitive; look inland (Blessington, Rathdrum) for slightly better value. DART and rail access materially affect prices.
Rent can normally be reviewed once every 12 months. Use the rent increase checker to see whether a proposed increase is within the legal limit.
