Frequently Asked Questions for Sellers & Landlords

Halligan O’Connor Property Consultants sells, lets and manages property across coastal North County Dublin, including Skerries, Lusk, Rush, Balbriggan, Balrothery, Stamullen and Gormanston. We also work extensively in Clontarf, Grand Canal Dock and the IFSC, advising both owner-occupiers and investors.

You benefit from deep local market knowledge, competitive fees and a hands-on service from valuation through to sale agreed or letting. Our team understands what drives buyer and tenant demand in each area, supported by detailed local insight through our Neighbourhood Guides, professional marketing and experienced negotiation.

Asking prices and rents are set using recent comparable sales and lettings within your specific area, estate or apartment development. We also assess current demand, competition, property condition and presentation to position your property correctly—attracting strong interest without underpricing.

Before launch, we provide practical advice on presentation, minor repairs and cost-effective improvements that can increase appeal. We then arrange professional photography, floor plans and high-quality marketing materials to ensure your property is presented to a strong standard online and to our registered buyers and tenants.

Your property is marketed on the Halligan O’Connor website and major property portals (Daft & MyHome) with targeted promotion to buyers and tenants already active in your area. Where appropriate, we also use signage, email marketing and social media to maximise enquiries and viewing levels.

All viewings are organised and accompanied by our agents. Evening and weekend viewings are offered as standard, and we provide clear feedback after appointments so you stay informed throughout the process.

All offers are presented to the vendor. We qualify each offer, confirm funding position and proposed timelines, and negotiate on your behalf to secure the best overall outcome—balancing price, conditions and certainty.

Timeframes vary depending on location, price point and market conditions. Well-presented, correctly priced homes often generate strong interest within the first few weeks. From sale agreed to contracts typically depends on title, surveys, finance and chain complexity. This process usually takes around 8 weeks.
