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 Rating: With a B2 BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of €1,000-€1,400, compared to €2,000-€2,500 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Size Advantage: At 120m², this 3-bedroom apartment is generously sized for its type, potentially commanding a value premium of €10,000-€15,000 over smaller comparable apartments in the immediate vicinity.
Value Optimization Potential: Upgrading from B2 to a B1 or A-rated BER could cost €4,000-€7,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €8,000-€12,000, offering a solid return on investment.
Hypothesis: The B2 BER rating suggests that the property was built or significantly renovated post-2010, and focusing on minor insulation improvements or heat pump upgrades could easily push its rating to B1 or A3, thereby attracting a wider pool of buyers and potentially achieving a 2-3% price uplift.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific route numbers are not provided, Birr is served by local bus services connecting to regional hubs, and while no train station is in Birr itself, it offers reasonable accessibility via road to larger transport networks.
Local Services: Birr offers a good range of amenities including supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, healthcare facilities such as Birr Community Health Centre, and educational institutions like Scoil na Croise Naofa Primary School.
Walkability and Recreation: The property's location within Birr provides good walkability to the town centre's shops and cafes, with nearby attractions including Lough Boora Discovery Park offering walking trails and outdoor activities.
Hypothesis: The lack of immediate train or Luas access outside of Dublin for properties in towns like Birr means that strong community amenities and established local infrastructure become the primary drivers of long-term value appreciation, with towns offering a comprehensive mix of retail, education, and healthcare often outperforming those that don't.
