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 the D2 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a solid return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: At 87.0m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom terrace house offers a reasonable living space for its configuration, aligning with the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found in the wider market data.
- Value Optimization: The property's estimated value of €131,715 is significantly lower than its asking price of €249,000, highlighting a substantial opportunity for buyers to optimize value through negotiation or by addressing the D2 BER rating.
- Hypothesis: The significant discount between the property's estimated value and asking price, combined with its D2 BER rating, suggests that the property is priced for a buyer willing to invest in renovations and energy efficiency upgrades, targeting a long-term value proposition rather than immediate market alignment.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Access to public transport appears limited, with no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations explicitly mentioned as serving Achill Sound, F28VY33 in the provided data.
Details
- Local Services Scarcity: The absence of specific mentions of schools, shops, or healthcare facilities in the raw data for Achill Sound suggests a potentially limited amenity offering in the immediate vicinity, requiring travel to larger towns.
- Walkability Constraints: Without specific mentions of local parks, pedestrian routes, or nearby essential services within the provided data for Achill Sound, walkability for daily needs is likely to be limited.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport routes and services detailed for Achill Sound suggests it functions as a more remote residential area, likely relying on private transport and necessitating travel to neighbouring towns for education, shopping, and healthcare, thereby impacting its appeal to a broader buyer demographic.
