Glossary
What is the Property Price Register (PPR)?
The Property Price Register is the official ledger of every residential property sold in Ireland since 1 January 2010. It is maintained by the Revenue Commissioners from stamp-duty returns filed by buyers' solicitors, and is the authoritative source for actual transacted prices (not asking prices) on Irish residential real estate.
What the register contains
Each entry records the address, sale date, transaction price, whether the property was second-hand or new, the buyer's category (full market price / not full market price), VAT status, and whether the price includes VAT.
The register does not contain Eircode, BER, property type, bedroom count, floor area, square metres, or any photos. iHouse merges PPR records with Eircode geocoding, Daft/MyHome listing history, and SEAI BER data to fill those gaps.
Coverage is the Republic of Ireland only. Northern Ireland sales are registered separately by Land & Property Services NI and are not in PPR.
Asking price vs. PPR price
Asking prices on Daft.ie or MyHome.ie are what the seller wants. PPR prices are what someone actually paid. In Ireland's current cycle (2022–2026) the median gap between asking and PPR price has fluctuated between -5% (soft market) and +12% (peak overbidding rounds).
PPR prices exclude VAT for second-hand homes but include VAT for new builds (typically 13.5%). The 'VAT Exclusive' flag in the register marks new-build entries.
Why addresses are messy
PPR addresses are entered free-text by solicitors, so the same property can appear as '12 Oak Drive, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin', '12 Oak Dr Stillorgan Dublin', or '12, Oak Drive, Stillorgan A94 X3Y2'. iHouse normalises these to a canonical Eircode-keyed record so price history doesn't fragment across spelling variations.
Around 4–5% of PPR entries have anonymised or partial addresses (commonly when the property was on a private treaty sale below market value, or sold between related parties).
Frequently asked questions
How often is PPR updated?
PPR is updated by the Revenue Commissioners on a rolling basis as stamp-duty returns are filed — typically with a 6–10 week lag between sale completion and appearance on the register.
Can I get a property removed from PPR?
No. The register is a statutory record of stamp-duty returns. Inclusion is not optional and entries cannot be deleted, only corrected for clerical errors via a formal correction request to Revenue.
