Investors looking for a suburban high street investment opportunity in south Dublin will be interested in two such investments for sale in Rathfarnham and Dundrum through QRE Real Estate Advisers. The agent is guiding in excess of €950,000 for both, but they are also available as separate lots.

14 Main Street, Rathfarnham is a standalone suburban high street property located in the centre of Rathfarnham village. The property has a great profile on the western side of the Main Street.

Neighbouring occupiers include An Post, Oxfam, Rowan’s Deli and Casanovas Wood Fired Pizza.

No 14 is a two-storey mixed-use building extending to about 137 square metres. The ground floor and rear garden accommodate an established crèche operator. The first floor and attic are tenanted by a physiotherapy practice.

The total rental income is €42,000 per annum and the guide price is in excess of €510,000, reflecting a net initial yield of 7.49 per cent. In addition to the attractive yield, the building is also not registered for Vat – which should be a big attraction for the private investor.
