What estate agents charge in Malahide

The short answer

Malahide sits in the north coastal band for Dublin: 1% – 1.35% plus VAT at 23%.
Commission is negotiable. It is the largest single cost of selling and the one you have most control over.
Always compare the total, not the percentage — marketing, photography and whether VAT is included move the figure more than a tenth of a point does.

Malahide is in the north-coastal band at 1% to 1.35% plus VAT. Demand is strong, sale-agreed times are generally short, and that is a direct argument against paying the top of the band.

The village, the coast and the rail link are the things buyers pay for. An agent should be marketing those specifically rather than listing them.

Stock runs from period village property to large modern detached homes. Make sure the comparables used match your property type, not just your postcode.

The full picture for the county, including every fee band and how to negotiate here, is in our guide to estate agent fees in Dublin.
