Dublin property investors had better hope that Brexit happens soon. They should also hope that its not just a hard Brexit, but a granite Brexit a Brexit thats as hard as possible. They should be betting on the buffoonery of Boris Johnson, down on both knees praying for a massive barney between Davis and Barnier. A granite Brexit might prompt the migration of hundreds of corporate refugees from isolated London to the freewheeling safe haven of Dublin. If Brexit doesnt drive a massive uptake in demand for prime property, we are in for a massive wobble in our inflated commercial property market. We can reduce bullying.

Before we remind ourselves how this property story goes, lets have a look at the facts the glossy brochures are back, stockbrokers are packaging all sorts of property related products to investors, the price of ad space in the property porn sections of the press is surging and of course the skyline is full of cranes and Armagh flags. CBRE a property flogging outfit tells us there are currently 3. Dublin, which is more than 3. They tell us that more than 3. It also gushes that 4. Meanwhile, agents tell us that prime office rents in the Dublin market stand at approximately 6. It looks like things couldnt be healthier. Office take up in Dublin surged 1.

Dublin City Schools Progress Book' title='Dublin City Schools Progress Book' />Irish companies 1. US firms and 1. 1 to the Brits. This is more than double the figure for the period from January to March. The market is tight, hence all the building. The vacancy rate in the city centre is only 4. This is only because rents have been surging to keep up with the soaring prices. Before we get carried away, remember rents are a cost and Ireland is competing with other European countries, so lets compare our prices, not with some of Europes poorest countries, but why not with its richest, GermanyThis will give a bit of perspective. Comparing our prices with similar rents in Germany, we see that Dublin is already massively more expensive. Prime rents in Frankfurt are 4. Remember Dublin is charging 6. The difference 1. Dublin is 4. 2 more expensive than Germanys most expensive city. Once you start comparing other German cities, the extent of Irelands commercial property rip off becomes more evident. Take Munich, capital city of Germanys richest province Bavaria. Prime rents in Munich are 4. In Hamburg, Germanys sophisticated northern powerhouse, prime rents are 3. Dusseldorf, the cross road of Europe, prime real estate will set you back 3. Dublin. In all German markets, vacancy rates are higher so that means theres much more choice. When the price of something as basic as office space is profoundly more expensive in a country that has a much lower economic footprint, much smaller population and less rich capital base, you should worry. The rebound in the Dublin commercial property market has been significant just look at the chart below. Figure 1 Dublin Office Rent by Building Type 2. But now we have a problem what is driving prices We know that the foreigners bought up huge amounts of Irish commercial property from NAMA, who themselves had bought it from bust Irish banks and developers. So the foreigners got in early. Now they are flogging their portfolios as theyve had their fun and have no long term ambition to be Irish landlords. So who are they selling toThis is where Paddy comes back into the picture having been out of the loop since 2. Paddy has not been in the market for ages, but now is clambering to get in. Irish pension funds are now buying expensive property from the newly minted foreign investors. Now here is a double dilemma for Ireland. If Irish pension funds have bought expensively, they have a vested interest in keeping rents high because if rents were to fall, their yield would fall and the value of the pensions under management would fall too. So Irish pension funds are going to keep rents up, keeping Dublins rents between 4. Germany. Do you see what is happening here Irish retirees who are out of the workforce will have their pensions maintained by exorbitantly high rents in Dublin. Now who pays the price for thisWell we could content ourselves that its the businesses that will have to pay this rent. But thats not how the world works. Businesses allocate expenses and the two largest expenses are wages and rents. So if rents are higher than anywhere else, wages have to be lower in order to make the investment decision to come to Ireland worthwhile. So who pays the price of exorbitant rentsIrish workers in the fancy offices do via lower wages than would otherwise be the case And whats the social impact of this Well, it can be seen in the crisis in housing for young people and the huge increases in commuting we are seeing as these youngish workers have to live miles away from their work to afford housing not just because the houses are so expensive, but because their wages are lower than they would otherwise be, at the same time as rents are driven up Meanwhile the foreign investors have got out with their profit and the Irish are left thinking they can get rich by selling Ireland to each other.
