The Daft.ie report revealed the current rate of inflation in the market is the highest seen in the ten years since mortgage market rules were introduced.
The surge in inflation is relatively broadly based, with the Dublin figure (12.3%) in line with the average for the rest of the country. In the rest of Leinster, the annual increase in prices is 14.3%. Inflation is also close to the national average in Galway city (12.5%) and Limerick city (12.8%).
