THERE ARE always upsides to the downside, and business is booming for agents specialising in rentals rather than sales.

That’s why Igor and Lee Fleming of dublinlettings.com, who’ve worked out of their home in Ballsbridge since setting up their company 12 years ago, have just opened an office in Pimlico, Dublin 8. It’s at the junction of Meath Place and Pimlico, just down the road from the Guinness Storehouse and the Digital Hub.

Why Pimlico? “It’s a huge development area with a lot of new apartments off Cork Street,” says Lee. It’s in the middle of a great little rat run in the heart of the Liberties and, in the three weeks since they opened, they’re getting a lot of attention, she says. Dublinlettings.com is a one-stop shop for investors and developers letting apartments, houses or commercial properties in Dublin.

The company also manages properties, and finds them for the growing number of people who want to rent.
