About Waterford

Built on the banks of the River Suir, Waterford is Ireland’s fifth largest city and the main urban centre in the southeast. The city was founded around 1,150 years ago and is a good example of a developed area where the old and new blend well. Less than 100 miles from Dublin, it is popular with those relocating from the capital who find exceptional value in housing and a vibrant social life. Waterford has excellent primary and post-primary schools and the country’s premier Institute of Technology. If your looking for good food and entertainment, Waterford offers
a wide choice of restaurants, pubs and nightclubs.

Waterford’s position on the south-east coast offers good access by sea to Britain and mainland Europe. Roads are
set to improve further during the next five years, with the upgrading of the N9 between Waterford and Dublin
and the construction of the Waterford City Bypass.

Significant opportunities exist for letting to overseas students, summer course participants, and those attending
conferences, seminars and other special events in the Waterford area. Its scope for revenue-generation is
far from restricted. Add to that the outstanding benefit of an unmatched Section 50 tax relief qualification based on 98% of the net purchase price and the highly flexible package is particularly attractive to investors.

Earmarked by the Government as a major growth centre for the first half of the 21st Century and identified as
a gateway city in the National Spatial Strategy, Waterford is considered to be on the crest of a developmental
wave, with a steady opening up of new employment – and investment opportunities.

Ireland’s fifth largest city and the main urban centre in the South-East, it is home to many leading international
companies and is closely associated with the renowned Waterford Crystal cut-glass brand. The population in the city and county has increased by 5% and 9% respectively over the past seven years and over 20% of the estimated 185,000 workforce have completed third level education. With six major colleges in the South-East region, there are also over 38,000 students in Waterford’s hinterland.
