Estate Agent Ballyboughal

Making a property move in Ballyboughal feels different from selling or buying in a town. Life here runs at a slower pace, neighbours know each other by name, and there is a sense of space that is hard to find so close to Dublin. It is exactly why people who discover Ballyboughal often decide they never want to leave.

At Kennedy Property Services, we help sellers, buyers, and landlords navigate this unique market with ease. Our approach is simple, honest advice, clear communication, and local knowledge that only comes from working in the area.

What Makes Ballyboughal Special

Ballyboughal sits quietly between Swords and Balbriggan, surrounded by fields and country lanes. Yet it is just a short drive from the M1 and Dublin Airport, giving residents the best of both worlds.

The village has a strong community spirit. There is a local primary school, a GAA club, and a few pubs and shops that act as social hubs. People who buy here are looking for more than just bricks and mortar, they want space, calm, and a place to put down roots.

The property mix includes traditional farmhouses, cottages, and modern homes built on generous plots. Many come with large gardens or even paddocks, which appeals to families and equestrian enthusiasts alike.

Selling Property in Ballyboughal

Selling in Ballyboughal is about understanding the buyers. They are not looking for fast-paced city life, they are looking for room to breathe.

When we market a property here, we focus on the details that matter to this type of buyer. It might be the size of the garden, the morning light in the kitchen, or the peaceful lane outside the gate. We use professional photography, engaging descriptions, and exposure across major property websites, but we also target our marketing towards people already searching for a country lifestyle close to Dublin.

Valuations are realistic, based on current demand and recent local sales. Because there are fewer homes on the market at any given time, correctly positioning your property is essential to attracting strong offers.

Buying a Home in Ballyboughal

For buyers, Ballyboughal represents something rare, a rural setting without the isolation. You can come home to peace and quiet, yet still be in Swords or Dublin Airport within fifteen minutes.

We work with families moving from smaller city homes who want gardens and space, as well as professionals looking for a retreat from the daily rush. Some are locals returning after years away, while others are first-time buyers drawn to the village lifestyle.

Whatever your reason, we guide you through each step clearly, from viewings and bidding to contracts and keys. We do not just show houses, we help you picture what life will feel like here.

Lettings and Property Management

Rental properties are less common in Ballyboughal than in nearby towns, but when they appear, they rarely sit empty. Tenants who want countryside living with quick access to the city find the village ideal.

Our property management service gives landlords peace of mind. We handle advertising, tenant checks, rent collection, maintenance, and compliance. For those who want to stay hands-on, our letting-only service is a straightforward way to find good tenants quickly.

Lifestyle and Community

Living in Ballyboughal means embracing a more relaxed pace. You will find country walks, friendly neighbours, and quiet evenings without the constant noise of the city. The village hosts community events, the GAA club is active, and local schools are well-regarded.

Swords, Malahide, and Balbriggan are all close for shopping, restaurants, and secondary schools. The beaches at Donabate and Portrane are a short drive away too, so weekends can be spent by the sea while weekdays stay grounded in village life.

Who Buys in Ballyboughal?

Knowing who is looking to move here helps sellers and landlords position their properties well.

• Families: Seeking space, gardens, and a safe community to raise children.

• Professionals: Wanting a peaceful base while staying close to the M1 and Dublin Airport.

• Equestrian buyers: Looking for properties with land or stables.

• Investors: Targeting rare rental opportunities in a location with reliable demand.

A Market Built on Stability

Ballyboughal’s property market does not move as fast as the city’s, and that is part of its appeal. Homes hold their value thanks to limited supply and steady demand from people specifically seeking a rural lifestyle.

That stability gives sellers confidence and offers buyers a sense of security. When people buy in Ballyboughal, they tend to stay.

Real Client Results

One couple came to us after months of trying to sell their cottage themselves. The viewings were few, and offers were low. We highlighted the charm of the home, focused on its garden and quiet setting, and marketed it to city-based buyers looking for space. Within four weeks, they accepted an offer above their asking price.

Another landlord had been nervous about renting out their farmhouse. With our help, they found reliable tenants quickly and now enjoy steady income without the stress of managing it themselves.

Why Kennedy Property Services Fits Ballyboughal

Selling or renting in a small market like this is different. There is less footfall, but buyers are more motivated. They are not just browsing, they are searching for something specific. That means the marketing has to be sharp, the advice has to be honest, and the approach has to be personal.

That is exactly how we work. We take the time to understand what makes your property special and how to connect it with the right people.
