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
BER Energy Efficiency: The B2 BER rating suggests reasonable energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of approximately €1,100 - €1,500, compared to €1,900 - €2,500 for a typical D-rated property of similar size.
Value Optimization: With a size of 55.0m², this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment offers a good space-to-bedroom ratio, making it appealing for its size category.
Strategic Upgrades: Moving from a B2 to an A-rated BER could cost an estimated €5,000 - €8,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €8,000 - €12,000, representing a profitable upgrade.
Hypothesis: Given the B2 rating, the property is performing well in terms of energy efficiency, but focusing on minor upgrades such as improved insulation or high-efficiency heating controls could push it towards an A rating, significantly enhancing its market appeal and long-term running costs savings, especially if nearby comparable properties are achieving higher BER ratings.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not detailed, the location outside Dublin implies reliance on local bus services, likely connecting to Virginia town centre which serves as a transport hub.
Local Lifestyle Options: Virginia town offers essential retail, including supermarkets like SuperValu, and a range of local restaurants and cafes, catering to daily needs.
Educational Access: The presence of schools such as Virginia National School and Breifne College in the vicinity provides convenient access to primary and secondary education.
Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' classification suggests that while local amenities are present, the property's value proposition will significantly hinge on improved transport infrastructure or the development of specific employment hubs within a commutable distance of Virginia to attract a wider pool of buyers seeking both regional living and connectivity.
