Editorial Policy & Disclaimer

Effective Date: September 6, 2026

This page explains what content we publish on realestate.bean.st (“we,” “our,” “us”), where that content comes from, and the limits of our responsibility for how you use it. Please read it before relying on any material on this website.

1. What We Publish

This website publishes general educational content about the Irish residential property market, with a focus on Dublin. Our material includes:

Buying and renting guides — practical explainers of processes, costs and requirements (e.g. deposits, mortgages, the Help to Buy scheme, tenancy applications)
Neighbourhood and market overviews — descriptive guides to areas, price levels and local trends
Market data articles — summaries of prices, rents, yields and market movements
Legal and regulatory explainers — plain-language summaries of rules such as rent caps, tenancy law and property taxes
Investment analysis — illustrative commentary on buy-to-let and other strategies

All content is written for general information and education only. It is not tailored to your personal circumstances, and it is not a recommendation to buy, sell, rent, let or invest in any specific property or product.

2. Where Our Content Comes From

We build our articles from publicly available information and our own analysis. Sources we draw on include, but are not limited to:

Official statistics — e.g. the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) Rent Register, and government departments
Public legislation and guidance — e.g. the Residential Tenancies Acts, planning and housing legislation, and guidance published by state bodies
Public property listings and market portals — advertised asking prices and rents (e.g. Daft.ie, MyHome.ie), which we analyse for illustrative purposes
Publicly reported news and statements — from reputable media and industry bodies, linked or referenced where relevant
Our own research and estimates — where we calculate illustrative figures such as gross rental yields, affordability scenarios or price trends, the figures are estimates based on the inputs above

Some research, drafting and analysis on this site may be produced or assisted by automated tools. All material is intended to be reviewed for accuracy before publication, but you should treat it as general commentary rather than verified professional output.

3. Not Professional Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, tax, investment, valuation, mortgage, or other regulated professional advice. It does not create a client, advisory or fiduciary relationship between you and us.

Property transactions involve significant money and binding legal obligations. Before making any decision — buying, selling, renting, letting, borrowing or investing — you should obtain advice from appropriately qualified and regulated professionals, such as:

A solicitor or conveyancer for legal matters
A mortgage broker or lender for borrowing
A chartered tax adviser or accountant for tax matters
A chartered surveyor or registered valuer for valuations and building condition
A regulated financial or investment adviser for investment decisions

4. Data May Be Inaccurate, Incomplete or Out of Date

Property data changes constantly. Asking prices, sale prices, rents, yields, interest rates and rules all move, and public sources can be delayed, incomplete or contain errors. Figures we publish — especially estimates, averages and forecasts — may therefore be wrong, out of date or based on assumptions that do not apply to you.

We provide all content “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, timeliness or fitness for a particular purpose. You are responsible for verifying any information before acting on it.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Irish law, we (including our owners, contributors, partners and service providers) will not be liable for any loss or damage — whether direct, indirect, consequential, financial or otherwise — arising from your use of this website or reliance on its content, including but not limited to:

Property or investment decisions made (or not made) on the basis of our content
Loss of profits, income, opportunities or anticipated savings
Errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the information we publish
Loss or damage caused by third-party websites we link to

This limitation applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss. Nothing in this disclaimer limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

6. Your Responsibility

By using this website you acknowledge that you use it at your own risk and that you alone are responsible for the decisions you make based on its content. Our articles are starting points for your own research — not substitutes for it.

7. Third-Party Links and Content

Our site links to external websites (property portals, calculators, government services, media and others). We do not control, endorse or guarantee any third-party content, products or services. External sites have their own terms and privacy policies, and you use them at your own risk.

8. Errors and Corrections

We work to keep our content accurate, but errors can occur. If you spot a mistake, an outdated figure or a broken reference, please contact us and we will review and correct it as soon as reasonably possible.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when the updated version is published on this page. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the updated policy.
