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 Rating Uncertainty: The 'BER_PENDING' rating means potential buyers cannot assess the property's energy efficiency or associated running costs, adding a layer of risk.
Size Efficiency: At 65m², this 2-bedroom apartment offers a density of 32.5m² per bedroom, which is standard for its type but offers limited scope for larger living spaces.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the 'BER_PENDING' status, substantial investment in energy efficiency upgrades, estimated to cost €8,000-€12,000 to achieve a B2 rating, could yield value increases of €15,000-€20,000 if comparable properties with better BERs are achieving higher prices.
Hypothesis: The pending BER rating, coupled with the property's current asking price, suggests an opportunity for a buyer to negotiate further if the BER assessment reveals poor energy performance, as this would necessitate immediate investment for future marketability and reduced running costs.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Bailieborough is served by Bus Éireann routes 175 and 182, connecting to Kells and Cavan Town respectively, offering limited direct public transport links to major urban centres.
Local Services: Bailieborough offers essential amenities including SuperValu, Lidl, Bailieborough Community National School, and St. Anne's National School, alongside local health services and pharmacies.
Walkability Assessment: The town centre, with its shops and schools, is generally walkable from Fountain View, but access to wider regional amenities would require private transport.
Hypothesis: The value of this apartment is likely to be significantly influenced by local amenities and commuter convenience, with a strong reliance on private transport to access employment hubs or larger shopping centres, potentially limiting its appeal to a narrower buyer pool.
