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 Impact: With a D1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a significant return on investment.
Space Efficiency: At 65.0m², this 2-bedroom apartment offers a density of 1.54 bedrooms per 100m², which is standard for this property type but could be optimized with efficient interior design.
Value Optimization: Given the D1 BER, investing in insulation and efficient heating could reduce current annual energy costs of approximately €1,800-€2,200 to an estimated €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property, improving long-term affordability.
Hypothesis: The significant gap between the property's D1 BER rating and the potential value increase achievable through upgrades suggests that properties in Bailieborough with poor energy efficiency are being heavily discounted, creating an opportunity for investors to capitalize on retrofitting and a subsequent value uplift.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Bailieborough is served by Bus Éireann routes 183 and 184, providing connections to Kells and Navan, with onward links to Dublin.
Local Facilities: The area offers essential amenities including Supervalu supermarket, St. Anne's National School, and Bailieborough Medical Centre within a short distance.
Lifestyle Options: Residents can enjoy local dining at The Kube Bar and outdoor pursuits at Bailieborough Forest Park, offering a balanced lifestyle.
Hypothesis: While Bailieborough offers core amenities, the limited direct public transport links to major employment hubs like Dublin suggest that properties within this specific apartment complex may appeal more to local workers or those seeking a more rural lifestyle, impacting commuter-driven demand and future price appreciation compared to better-connected towns.
