Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
Energy Efficiency: With a C2 BER rating, this property's estimated annual energy costs are €1,200-€1,600, offering significant savings compared to the €2,500-€3,000 typical for E-rated properties of similar 190m² size.
Generous Proportions: This 190m² detached residence, featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, aligns with the demand for larger family homes, fitting the median 4-bed configuration in a 50km radius.
Value Optimization: Given its substantial 190m² footprint, strategic upgrades such as kitchen or bathroom modernisations could yield a strong return on investment, potentially adding €10,000-€20,000 in market value.
Hypothesis: The C2 BER, while good, positions the property for potential further value enhancement through cost-effective upgrades to a B-rating, which could attract a premium from increasingly eco-conscious buyers in the Donegal market.
Amenities
Transport Access: While not serviced by DART or Luas, Moville offers essential bus connectivity, notably the Bus Éireann 954 route which links directly to Derry, providing crucial regional access for residents.
Local Conveniences: The property benefits from proximity to Moville Community College and Scoil Eoghain National School, along with convenient access to SuperValu Moville for everyday shopping needs.
Lifestyle & Healthcare: Residents can enjoy the scenic Moville Green and its promenade for leisure activities, with the Moville Primary Care Centre offering accessible local healthcare services.
Hypothesis: The strong local amenities, particularly schools and essential services, are likely a key driver for family buyers in Moville, counterbalancing the absence of rail-based commuter links and supporting sustained local property demand.
