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 Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Energy Cost Disparity: A D2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs of roughly €1,800-€2,200, whereas a B2 rating could reduce this to €800-€1,200 annually, representing potential savings of €1,000 per year.
Generous Size: At 120.0m², the property offers a good amount of living space for a 4-bedroom end-of-terrace house compared to potentially smaller configurations seen in denser areas.
Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating, while impacting immediate energy costs and value, presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; by strategically investing in insulation and heating upgrades, the property could achieve a B-rating, bridging the gap between its current estimated value and the higher sale prices of comparable properties with better energy efficiency.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Access: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations explicitly mentioned as serving Fenit, Co. Kerry in the provided data, suggesting reliance on private transport.
Local Educational Options: While specific school names are not provided for Fenit, the presence of educational facilities is crucial for family appeal, with local primary and secondary schools generally being a key amenity.
Healthcare Proximity: Access to healthcare is typically a strong draw, and while specific facilities are not listed for Fenit, proximity to a local clinic or pharmacy would be expected in a settled community.
Hypothesis: Given the lack of specific public transport infrastructure mentioned for Fenit, the property's value and market appeal will likely be heavily tied to its proximity to the nearest regional towns or villages that offer more comprehensive amenities and transport links, suggesting that buyers will prioritize accessibility to Tralee or similar hubs.
