PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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
Significant BER Improvement Opportunity: With a BER rating of SI_666 (likely indicative of a poor rating), upgrading to a B2 could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a strong return on investment.
High Energy Cost Potential: A SI_666 BER rating suggests annual energy costs could range from €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 estimated for B-rated properties of similar size in the area.
Spacious Configuration: The property offers a generous 230.0m² with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which is well-configured for larger families and aligns with premium property expectations, despite the BER rating.
Hypothesis: The SI_666 BER rating is a significant deterrent, but the substantial size and bedroom count represent an opportunity for a buyer willing to invest in energy efficiency upgrades, potentially unlocking considerable value uplift and aligning the property with higher-performing local stock that commands better sale prices.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: As the property is located outside Dublin, specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops serving 4 John's Mall, Birr, Co Offaly, R42V045 are not detailed in the provided data, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Birr Town Services: Birr offers essential amenities including primary and secondary schools, local pharmacies, supermarkets like Aldi and Supervalu, and numerous cafes and restaurants such as The Chestnut Tree and The Emmet, catering to daily needs.
Green Space Access: The property benefits from proximity to Lough Boora Discovery Park and the beautiful grounds of Birr Castle, providing excellent recreational and lifestyle amenities for residents.
Hypothesis: While Birr provides a good range of local amenities and lifestyle choices, the lack of specific public transport connectivity mentioned in the data points to a market where private vehicle ownership is likely a prerequisite, thus potentially limiting the buyer pool primarily to those familiar with or preferring a car-dependent lifestyle.
