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 Potential: Upgrading from the B2 BER rating to an A-rated property could involve costs between €4,000-€8,000, potentially increasing property value by €8,000-€15,000, offering a good return on investment.
Space Efficiency: With 6 bedrooms and 193.0m² of space, this property offers an average of 32.17m² per bedroom, which is generous and indicative of spacious living areas.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the B2 BER is good, further insulation and heating system upgrades costing €4,000-€8,000 could potentially reduce annual energy bills by €400-€700 compared to typical D-rated properties, enhancing long-term value and appeal.
Hypothesis: The presence of a B2 BER rating and 6 bedrooms in a detached property suggests a potential for value enhancement through targeted renovations that focus on increasing bathroom count and modernizing living spaces, which could significantly elevate its market position beyond its current asking price if market demand for such configurations emerges.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: New Ross is served by Bus Éireann routes such as the 465 to Waterford and the 370 to Enniscorthy, providing regional connectivity, with the nearest train station being Waterford (approx. 30-minute drive).
Local Education & Healthcare: The area offers St. Mary's National School and the Mercy Secondary School, with Wexford General Hospital accessible within a 30-minute drive.
Retail & Lifestyle Hub: New Ross town centre provides amenities like a SuperValu supermarket, local boutiques, and restaurants such as Roches, with the Dunbrody Abbey visitor centre offering a nearby historical attraction.
Hypothesis: Despite the property's size and BER rating, the limited direct public transport links within walking distance and the reliance on private transport for accessing key services like major hospitals and higher education institutions may present a barrier for some buyer demographics, potentially capping its value appreciation in the short to medium term.
