The rental market in Northern Ireland has continued it's multi-year trend of demand significantly outpacing available supply. The average rent now stands at £960 per month, reflecting an 8.5% annual increase and 1.9% rise over the last three months. This upward pressure on rents has been felt across all regions and property types, confirming that supply constraints are not isolated, but widespread throughou the market.
Our own district Newry, Mourne and Down continues to perform above well with an average rental price for the district of £824.00 PCM an 6.6% increase on the 12 months previous.
Joe says...
"As a placement student at Kernan Property Services, I am gaining hands-on experience in the fast-paced world of property sales and lettings. My role involves assisting clients in finding their ideal homes, coordinating viewings, and providing customer service. I am passionate about the property market and committed to delivering a seamless experience for vendors, purchasers, landlords and tenants.
Currently studying Real Estate at University Ulster, I aim to bring a fresh perspective and a keen eye for detail to the team. With a proactive and client-focused approach, I will strive to build strong relationships and ensure every transaction runs smoothly."

Patricia has a wealth of knowledge having worked in the industry for over 20 years. Throughout this time she has proved herself to be highly proficient, and superb with her customer service.
Full Management
If you already have, or are considering letting, a residential property it would seem practical to place the marketing in the hands of an experienced agent, someone who will ensure that the property is well cared for, to allow you to maximise this very valuable source of regular income. We also have a designated maintenance department which looks after any repairs, redecorate or improvements which may be necessary. We are able to attend to emergences and only use trained staff with experience in the relevant area which needs attention. Our service is ideal for those landlords living overseas or those who just don’t want the hassle of letting a property.
