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 Upgrade Investment: Upgrading this D2 BER property to a B2 rating is estimated to cost €8,000 to €12,000, offering a potential property value increase of €15,000 to €20,000.
Details
- Annual Energy Savings: Achieving a B-rated BER could reduce annual energy costs by €1,000 to €1,400, lowering expenses from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property to €800-€1,200.
- Optimal Configuration: With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 87m², this end of terrace property offers a practical and well-proportioned layout, aligning perfectly with the median bed and bath count of sold properties in the 20km radius.
- Hypothesis: Given the increasing focus on sustainability, enhancing the BER beyond a B2 rating, possibly towards an A-rating, could position this property at the forefront of the market, commanding an even greater premium from environmentally conscious buyers.
Amenities
Essential Local Services: The property benefits from proximity to key local amenities including Achill Primary Care Centre and SuperValu supermarket, both conveniently located within the immediate Achill Sound area.
Details
- Comprehensive Educational Access: Families are well-served with Scoil Acla, the local secondary school, situated directly in Achill Sound, complemented by several primary schools and Little Bluebells Childcare facilities nearby.

- Hypothesis: The unique blend of essential services with unparalleled access to iconic natural landscapes like Keem Bay and the Great Western Greenway could attract a distinct segment of buyers prioritising outdoor lifestyle and community spirit over dense urban connectivity.
