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 C Potential: With a BER rating of 'C', this property already has a reasonable energy efficiency. Strategic upgrades to a 'B' rating could cost an estimated €5,000-€8,000, potentially increasing its value by €10,000-€15,000.
Compact Living: At 30m², this is a small townhouse, which aligns with a lower price point but may limit future resale appeal compared to larger properties in the area.
Value Optimization: The property's asking price of €130,000 is significantly below its estimated value, presenting a clear opportunity for immediate value enhancement through a quick sale.
Hypothesis: Given the small size and 'C' BER rating, the property's value is likely more influenced by its location and potential for rental income rather than its inherent build quality or size, making its current underpricing particularly advantageous for buy-to-let investors.
Amenities
Transport Links: Kildare town is served by Dublin Bus routes 120, 123, and 124, with the Kildare train station providing direct rail links to Dublin.
Local Amenities: Residents have access to numerous shops including Tesco and Lidl, St. Mary's Boys National School and Kildare Community School, and healthcare services at the Primary Care Centre.
Walkability: The area boasts good walkability with Firecastle Lane itself offering pedestrian access to the heart of Kildare town, including the historic Kildare Village for retail therapy and numerous cafes and restaurants.
Hypothesis: The availability of direct train services to Dublin, combined with a comprehensive range of local amenities and strong walkability within Kildare town, suggests that despite its small size, this property is well-positioned to appeal to commuters and those seeking convenient town living, further supporting its potential value.
