Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €385,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 1.5km. More local transactions are needed before the data can support a market position estimate.
Sources: PPR, SEAI, OPW, planning records.
Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 1 comparable transaction within 1.5km over the past 18 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this property.
This can happen for properties in lower-turnover areas or very specific property types. Check back as new transactions register on the Property Price Register, or search for a nearby comparable property.

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 C1 Costing: Upgrading from a C1 BER to a B2 rating would likely cost €5,000-€8,000 and could increase the property's value by €8,000-€12,000, offering a modest return on investment.
Energy Savings Potential: With a C1 BER, annual energy costs are estimated at €1,500-€1,800, compared to potential savings of €400-€600 annually if upgraded to a B-rated BER, assuming similar properties in the area have a mix of ratings.
Space Efficiency: The 108 sqm size with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is a standard configuration for family homes, offering adequate but not excessive living space for its type.
Hypothesis: Given the C1 BER, a strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades could not only reduce immediate running costs but also enhance the property's long-term appeal and marketability, especially if similar properties in the immediate vicinity achieve higher BER ratings.
Amenities
Transport Links: Carlow Town is served by Bus Éireann routes offering regional connectivity, and the nearest train station is Carlow Railway Station (approx. 2km), providing rail access to Dublin and other major towns.
Educational Facilities: The property is located within proximity to Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál (primary) and Carlow Institute of Technology (third-level education), catering to various educational needs.
Healthcare and Retail: Access to services includes Carlow District Hospital (approx. 1.5km) and a range of local shops and supermarkets such as Tesco and SuperValu within a 1km radius.
Hypothesis: While Carlow Town offers a comprehensive set of amenities and reasonable transport links for a town outside Dublin, its commuter appeal to Dublin would likely be limited by the current public transport travel times, making it more attractive to local or regional buyers.

Common Questions
Bid strategy figures are derived from the Property Price Register — Ireland's official record of closed residential sale prices, verified through stamp duty. Floor area data comes from the SEAI BER register. Flood exposure is cross-referenced against OPW flood extent mapping (CFRAM fluvial + NCFHM coastal) and historical flood events. Planning activity is sourced from the National Planning Application Database via MyPlan.ie — merged Local Authority planning registers from the Department of Housing.
