Ballymoney rental market, what landlords need to know
Ballymoney is a market town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, administered by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. The town is situated approximately 10 miles south of Coleraine and approximately 55 miles north-west of Belfast. Ballymoney is the main service and retail centre for the North Antrim rural hinterland — the town's market square and high street serve a wide rural catchment including the Ballypatrick Forest area, the Antrim Plateau, and the Route Valley. The town is served by Ballymoney railway station on the Coleraine-Belfast line (Northern Ireland Railways services connecting to Belfast Great Victoria Street in approximately 1 hour). The A26 dual carriageway provides fast road access north to Coleraine and south towards Ballymena and Belfast. Key employers include Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council; healthcare workers serving Causeway Hospital (Coleraine, approximately 10 miles north); the food processing sector (significant in the North Antrim area); and the agricultural services economy serving the surrounding farmland. Ballymoney is the birthplace of the two-times Formula One World Champion Joey Dunlop (celebrated at the Joey Dunlop Memorial Garden) and has strong community identity. Rental demand is driven by the agricultural and food processing workforce, council and healthcare employees, and commuters to Coleraine and Ballymena. Private Tenancies (NI) Order 2006 applies; NI Landlord Registration mandatory at landlordregistrationni.gov.uk.
