Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 2 comparable transactions within 5.0km over the past 36 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.
Price Distribution Analysis
2 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Filters broadened to increase sample size.

Financial Exposure · 94% Above Median

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
Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a C1 (estimated 20% improvement) could cost approximately €6,000 - €9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €9,000 - €14,000.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 44m², this bungalow is on the smaller side, with its 1-bedroom configuration making it suitable for singles or couples, but potentially limiting appeal to families or those seeking more space compared to the 3-bedroom median in the broader 100km market.
- Cost of Modernisation: A D2 BER rating suggests potential for significant energy efficiency upgrades; investing in insulation and heating system improvements could cost €8,000-€12,000, leading to estimated annual savings of €500-€800 compared to its current rating.
- Hypothesis: The current D2 BER rating significantly undervalues the property's potential, with a strategic €8,000-€12,000 investment in energy efficiency upgrades potentially yielding a 10-15% increase in market value, making it a worthwhile investment for future buyers seeking lower running costs.
Amenities
Limited Local Connectivity: Ballymahon is served by Bus Éireann routes 118 and 460, but lacks direct train services or Luas/DART access, requiring significant travel time to reach major urban centers like Dublin.
Details
- Essential Local Services: The area offers essential amenities including Ballymahon Primary School, Coláiste Mhuire secondary school, and a local pharmacy, catering to basic family needs.
- Modest Walkability: While the immediate vicinity of Thomond Lodge offers some local walking routes, access to larger parks or extensive pedestrian infrastructure is limited, with the nearest significant green space likely being the Royal Canal Greenway some distance away.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links and proximity to major employment hubs means that demand for properties in Ballymahon will remain largely driven by local needs and affordability, with properties like this one unlikely to command significant price premiums based on commuter convenience alone, impacting long-term capital growth potential.
