If you run an Irish estate agency, or you are building a site for one, the usual "best property plugin for WordPress" lists will not help you much. They are written for MLS feeds, IDX and listing styles that do not match this market. What you need is closer to this: the website should show the same properties as Daft.ie or MyHome.ie, with a BER badge, Irish counties, and a Sale Agreed or Let Agreed state when the office marks it.
We look after WordPress sites for Irish businesses, and we also build plugins, including two aimed at this exact job. A property plugin Ireland search still turns up very little that was actually built here. That is the gap. This guide is about what an Irish agent should look for, which plugins can already do the work, and what still is not covered.
The facts below are from live plugin and vendor pages we checked on 10 November 2026. There are no prices in this article.
What Irish agents actually need on a website
The public site has a short list of jobs. If a plugin cannot do these, it is a general brochure tool, not a property plugin for this country.
Portal truth. Most Irish agencies already advertise on Daft.ie and, in many offices, MyHome.ie. The website should follow that stock, not become a second set of listings that someone updates when they remember.
The CRM the office already has. A lot of Irish agencies run Acquaint. Rentman shows up too. Some offices use Reapit, or Alto (Vebra). A good WordPress plugin imports from the system you have. It should not force you to type the same house in three places.
BER. Buyers here expect a Building Energy Rating on the listing, often the A1 to G scale, sometimes the BER number and the kWh/m²/year figure as well. A plugin built for the US will not have this waiting in the field list.
Irish statuses and places. For Sale and To Let are the start, not the lot. Sale Agreed, Let Agreed, Sold and Under Offer are the states that stop a viewer booking a viewing on a house that is already gone. Counties should be Irish counties, and the default country should be Ireland, not a dropdown that starts in the United States.
Enquiries on your domain. Portals will still send leads. The site is the place a viewer lands from Google, or from a signboard URL, and asks about a property without leaving your pages.
The PSRA number. Licensed agencies in Ireland need to be identifiable as licensed. We will come back to that, because this is the part no plugin is doing for you.
If a product page talks only about MLS, IDX, "realtor" workflows or Rightmove as if that were the local market, keep walking. Rightmove can still matter to some offices, but it is a UK portal.
The gap: there is no PSRA plugin
The Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) is the body that licenses estate agents, letting agents and property management firms in Ireland. Agencies are used to putting a licence number on advertising, window cards and the website.
We looked for a WordPress plugin whose documented purpose is PSRA registration, a licence-number field, or any other PSRA-specific compliance. We did not find one. That includes the Irish-built plugins below. They will do BER, Daft and Sale Agreed. They will not, on the evidence of their public pages, manage a PSRA number for you.
That is a real gap in the property plugin Ireland market. Until someone builds it, the number belongs in the same place as the office phone number: one field in the site, printed in the footer, on the contact page and on the about page, and kept correct when the licence is renewed. Do not rely on a listings plugin to remember it. If two pages disagree, the site is keeping copies, and that is the sort of mess we end up cleaning up.
We are not going to invent a legal checklist here. If you need the exact display rules for your licence type, that is a question for the PSRA, or for your own compliance advice, not for a plugin blog post. The practical point for WordPress is simpler: no plugin we found will do this job, so plan for it in the theme.
Irish-built options
We only found three WordPress products actually built for this market. That is not a long shelf. It is also why this is still an open niche.
Property Drive, and the paid upgrade
Property Drive is free on WordPress.org. It is a listings, search and map plugin, with Irish conventions already in the design: BER badges, and Sale Agreed or Let Agreed ribbons. It can use OpenStreetMap or Google Maps, it is not tied to one theme, and it outputs RealEstateListing structured data.
Automatic import from Daft, MyHome or Acquaint is not what the free plugin claims to do. That sits in WP Property Drive, the paid 4Property product. The WordPress.org page points you there. A directory review mentions those portal names; the vendor copy treats automatic import as an upgrade feature.
The free plugin is still early. On 10 November 2026 it was at version 1.2.0, updated on 9 October 2026, with 10+ active installs. We would rather say that plainly than dress it up.
WP Property Drive itself is not a second WordPress.org listing. 4Property is an Irish company, with a Dublin address on the product page, and the plugin is described as part of the 4Sites web-development package, with Core features and optional Pro modules. The page says it is "100% compatible with the Irish property market" and can sync Acquaint, Property Drive, Daft, MyHome and Rightmove. Reapit is listed among custom feed integrations. BER ratings can appear on the property details, and Sale Agreed listings get a banner. There is a dedicated MyHome importer page if that is the feed you need.
Foundry
Foundry is the plugin we built at getButterfly for Irish agencies. It pulls from Daft or Acquaint on a schedule and creates WordPress posts. The field list is the one we wanted when a generic real-estate plugin left the important bits out: BER rating from A1 to G, BER number, energy details, Irish county, Ireland as the default country, and statuses for For Sale, To Let, Sold, Sale Agreed, Let Agreed and Under Offer.
It works with most themes, and it was built to take advantage of Saturn if you use that theme. It is not on WordPress.org. The public page lists WordPress 6.4 or newer, PHP 8.3 or newer, and MySQL 8 or newer. Security, quality and bug-fix updates are free; new importers and requested features are paid work.
If the office lives in Daft or Acquaint and the site needs to show BER without becoming a generic international CRM project, this is the one we maintain.
Elive Property Listing
Elive Property Listing comes from Elive Ltd in Limerick. It is a paid plugin, not listed on WordPress.org, and it is tightly focused: it syncs the agency's Daft.ie listings with a Daft API key. The changelog refers to Daft API v3. It can show BER ratings, including a graphical BER display, and a Sale Agreed banner.
The latest changelog entry we could verify was version 1.2.21, on 30 September 2026. The requirements are PHP 7.4+, MySQL 5.x, WordPress 6.x and IonCube Loader 14+. Ask the host about IonCube before you commit. If the office is Daft-only and does not need MyHome or Acquaint coming into WordPress, Elive is the specialist tool. It is not a multi-CRM platform.
If the office already uses a UK or international plugin
You do not have to throw out a working Houzez or Property Hive site to get Irish CRM data. You do have to be precise about what is included, and what is an add-on.
Property Hive is a free listings plugin from a UK vendor, with 3,000+ active installs when we checked (version 2.4.0, last updated 23 September 2026). The core has an EPC generator and international support. It does not, by itself, make the site "an Irish property plugin". The useful part for agencies here is the import add-on, documented for Acquaint and Rentman. Acquaint can be read from an XML URL, including more than one office URL. Alto (Vebra) and Reapit Foundations are on the same import list.
Houzez Property Feed is made by the same people, and it only works with the Houzez theme. It also imports Acquaint, Rentman, Alto and Reapit Foundations. The free tier is limited to one active import or export and 25 properties; Pro lifts that. It had 1,000+ installs and was last updated on 4 November 2026. If the site is already on Houzez, this is the obvious route. If it is not, we would not install Houzez just to get a feed plugin.
Reapit deserves a careful label. It appears in WP Property Drive, Property Hive, Houzez Property Feed and the UK product WP Property Feed. Some Irish offices use it. It is still a UK CRM integration, not an EU-portal feature, and EPC data is only as good as the feed.
A short look at the UK and the rest of the EU
This is the context, not a second catalogue.
UK portal export, in Property Hive Pro and Houzez Property Feed, means Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket. WP Property Drive also names Rightmove. If an Irish agency advertises in the UK, that matters. It is not a substitute for Daft or MyHome, and it should not be filed under "EU".
The rest of the EU is local software, country by country. Germany, Austria and Switzerland mainly use OpenImmo, with plugins such as WP-ImmoMakler, immonex and Estatequay. Spain is Idealista, Inmovilla, Kyero and Witei. France is DPE/GES display and gateways into French agency software, which is where ImmoWP is strong. Those tools are the right answer for those markets. They will not give you a BER badge or a Daft feed.
General listings plugins with large install bases, such as Estatik, WPCasa, Easy Property Listings or Essential Real Estate, can put properties on a page. Estatik and WPCasa at least have EU-style energy-label add-ons. We could not verify an Irish portal integration for them. We would not start an Irish agency site on one of those and hope the feed appears later.
What to look for before you install anything
We use a short test. If you cannot tick most of these, keep looking.
- Where is the stock held today? Daft, MyHome, Acquaint, Rentman, Reapit, or a spreadsheet. The plugin has to read that source, or the site will drift.
- Is the importer in the product you are actually installing? Free directory plugins often display listings and leave automatic sync in a paid add-on. That is fine, as long as you see it before you commit.
- Can it show BER, not a generic EPC graphic copied from another country? The scale, and ideally the BER number, should be first-class fields.
- Does it have Sale Agreed and Let Agreed, not only Sold? Viewers act on the status they see.
- Irish counties, Irish default country. This sounds small until you have spent an afternoon cleaning a dropdown.
- What else does it demand? Elive needs IonCube. Houzez Property Feed needs the Houzez theme. Foundry wants a current PHP version. Hosting constraints matter as much as features. If the current host cannot run it, moving the site comes before the plugin does.
- Where will the PSRA number live? If the answer is "the plugin will handle it", the answer is wrong. Plan a single field in the site instead.
- Who maintains it? A plugin that has not been updated in years is a liability on a site that also takes enquiries. The dates we quote above are from November 2026; check them again before you install. Someone still has to apply the updates after that.
What we would choose for an Irish agency
If the office is on Daft, and only Daft, Elive is the dedicated option, provided the server can run IonCube. If the office is on Daft or Acquaint and we are building or maintaining the WordPress side, we use Foundry. If you want a free listings plugin with Irish badges and a path to paid portal sync, start with Property Drive and look at WP Property Drive when you need the feeds.
If the site is already on Houzez, add Houzez Property Feed and connect Acquaint or Rentman. If you need one international plugin because the office also deals with overseas buyers, or more than one CRM format, Property Hive with the import add-on is the widest option we found.
We would not pick a large general real-estate plugin because it has thousands of installs. Those numbers usually come from other countries, and they do not get you a Daft feed. We would also not promise a plugin as a substitute for a PSRA licence display. That work still sits in the site itself.
A group with several offices, and several people publishing, is a larger job than a single agency site. The brochure pages around the listings, when that is all an office needs, are on the web design page. If you already have a WordPress site and you want this set up properly, we can do that work. The plugins we build and use are listed separately, and you can get in touch if you would rather not install any of this yourself.
FAQ
What is the best property plugin for WordPress in Ireland?
The best one is the one that talks to the system the office already uses. For Daft or Acquaint, that is an Irish-built plugin: Property Drive, WP Property Drive, Foundry or Elive. For Acquaint or Rentman on an existing Houzez or Property Hive site, use the import add-on those products already have. There is no single plugin that covers Daft, MyHome, every CRM and PSRA display.
Is there a property plugin Ireland agencies can use with Daft.ie?
Yes. Foundry and Elive import from Daft. WP Property Drive documents Daft sync as well. The free Property Drive plugin is built with Irish listing conventions, but automatic Daft sync is described as part of the paid upgrade.
Can WordPress import from MyHome.ie?
WP Property Drive documents MyHome sync, and 4Property publishes a MyHome importer page. We did not find a MyHome integration on Elive, which is Daft-focused, or as a first-party feature of the generic international plugins.
Can I import listings from Acquaint or Rentman?
Yes. Foundry and WP Property Drive cover Acquaint. Property Hive and Houzez Property Feed document both Acquaint and Rentman, in their paid import tools. Rentman did not turn up as its own Irish plugin. It is an import format inside those UK products.
Will the plugin show BER ratings?
The Irish-built plugins do. Property Drive, WP Property Drive, Foundry and Elive all have BER display, with slightly different levels of detail. Property Hive's core has an EPC generator, which is not the same thing as an Irish BER badge. Always check the field list before you assume the certificate will look the way buyers here expect.
Is there a WordPress plugin for PSRA licence numbers?
Not that we could find. No live plugin we checked has PSRA registration or PSRA-specific compliance as its documented purpose. Put the licence number in the site's own footer and contact details, and keep it in one place.
Do I need the Houzez theme?
Only if you want to use Houzez Property Feed. That plugin requires Houzez. Property Drive, Foundry, Elive and Property Hive do not.
Are Rightmove and Zoopla useful for an Irish agency website?
Only if you also advertise in the UK. Some of the plugins above can export to those portals, or sync with Rightmove. They are UK portals, not Irish ones, and they do not replace Daft or MyHome.
