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 Cost: Upgrading the E1 BER rating to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, but would likely increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Annual Energy Savings Potential: With an E1 BER, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,800-€2,200, whereas properties with a B2 rating typically incur costs of €800-€1,200, offering annual savings of €1,000-€1,400.
Space Allocation: At 95m², this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom terrace house offers a functional layout, but the single bathroom may be a point of consideration for larger families or guests compared to properties with more bathrooms.
Hypothesis: The significant disparity between the current BER rating (E1) and the potential for substantial energy cost savings (up to €1,400 annually) and value increase (€15,000-€20,000) suggests that investing in energy upgrades would be a key value optimization strategy for this property, particularly in a market where energy efficiency is increasingly prioritized.
