Northern Ireland · GBP

Considering Belfast?

Belfast is a separate rental market in Northern Ireland, with budgets in pounds sterling. Plan its rental search separately from the four-city euro search above, and check Northern Ireland tenancy guidance for a Belfast move.

Moving from the UK to the Republic of Ireland?

Choose how you search.

Active Search: compare cities in one search.

Keep a same-currency shortlist across Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick when your move is still open. Search criteria travel with the city scope, so you can compare matches without rebuilding the request.

Rental Agent: keep watch in your chosen city.

When you know the city, turn your search description into a monitored profile. The agent checks for matches as listings are indexed, and you review applications before sending by default.

Renting questions? Start with the source.

HomeScout can help you organise a search and inspect supported listing information. For current renter guidance, deposits, notices, registration or disputes, use the Residential Tenancies Board's official renter information rather than relying on a summary on this page.

Questions about rental search in Ireland

Which Irish cities can I search on HomeScout?

HomeScout supports rental searches in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. Choose one city or compare several in Active Search. These Republic of Ireland searches use euro. Belfast is a separate Northern Ireland market and is not available in the same search.

Can one Rental Agent monitor several cities?

Each Rental Agent monitors one city. Active Search can compare several cities, and you can then choose the city for an agent. When a search names a different supported city, review the proposed city change before continuing. Changing a search scope does not automatically change your primary city.

Are the rental listings checked live when I search?

HomeScout searches indexed listings from supported sources on its daily property crawl cycle. Coverage varies by source and time. A search result is not a reservation or confirmation of availability; open the original listing where available and verify its current details with the advertiser.

Can I start a rental search without paying?

The standard trial for new eligible accounts is a 7-day Scout trial. Continue into onboarding without entering payment details. You can choose a paid plan during the trial. For a monthly plan, payment is taken when you convert and your remaining trial days are credited before the first paid month ends. Checkout shows the charge amount. After payment confirmation, check your account for the paid coverage and renewal date.
