Gillespie Lowe Group
Gillespie Lowe Group is an estate agency and property management organisation based in Rathmines, Dublin 6, handling residential lettings, sales, valuations and asset management for clients across Dublin.
The Gillespie Lowe name has been associated with residential agency in Rathmines since the early 1990s, growing out of the partnership between John Gillespie and John Lowe. A dedicated asset management division was added in 2012 to look after portfolio and investment property on behalf of landlords, developers and management companies.
The group operates under two brands from the same Dublin 6 office. Sales and valuation work is carried out under the Gillespie Lowe name, while lettings, tenancy management and portfolio management run through DNG Gillespie Lowe, part of the national DNG network. The team includes several licensed property professionals along with coordination, maintenance and facilities staff.

Service area
The Rathmines office serves Dublin city and county, with recent listings and managed properties in areas such as Ballsbridge and Sandymount in Dublin 4, Smithfield in Dublin 7, Beaumont in Dublin 9 and Templeogue. According to the company, its lettings and management coverage also extends into parts of Wicklow and Kildare.
Accreditations and registrations
The company is a PSRA-licensed property services provider, licensed at company level across the sales, lettings and auctioneering categories as well as the category required to act as managing agent for owners' management companies. Individual directors and staff hold their own PSRA licences under that company licence. The firm is also recorded as a member of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and of the Institute of Professional Auctioneers & Valuers.
Pricing information
Fees are quoted per instruction rather than set as a fixed list, and depend on the service required, the type and location of the property and the level of involvement the owner wants. A once-off letting service generally costs less than full management, and a larger or multi-unit portfolio takes more work to run than a single apartment, which is reflected in the fee. Before comparing quotes it is worth knowing whether you need tenant sourcing only or ongoing rent collection, inspections and maintenance, and whether the property forms part of a managed development.
