Sources: PPR, SEAI, OPW, planning records.
Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 1 comparable transaction within 3.0km over the past 24 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 Efficiency: The B3 BER rating suggests annual energy costs likely range between €1,100-€1,500, which is €300-€700 less than a typical D-rated property of similar size.
Space Utilisation: At 85m², the property offers a comfortable living space, and the 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration is standard for family homes in many areas.
Value Optimisation: While a B3 rating is good, targeted improvements to reach a B2 rating could cost €5,000-€8,000 and potentially increase property value by €8,000-€12,000.
Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER, a buyer looking to maximize resale value might consider investing in minor upgrades like improving insulation and sealing drafts, which could cost €2,000-€4,000 and potentially elevate the BER to a B2, adding €5,000-€7,000 to the property's market appeal.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: The specific area of Ballintra, Rossnowlagh, is not directly served by major public transport hubs like train stations or Luas stops, requiring travel to nearby towns for such services.
Proximity to Essentials: While specific local amenities require further investigation due to the rural nature of Ballintra, larger towns like Donegal Town (approx. 10-15 minute drive) offer supermarkets (e.g., SuperValu, Lidl), schools, and healthcare facilities.
Coastal Lifestyle: The location in Rossnowlagh offers significant lifestyle benefits, including access to beaches and a scenic coastal environment, which are strong selling points for lifestyle buyers.
Hypothesis: The property's location outside of a major urban centre, while offering lifestyle advantages, suggests that a strong local community network and reliance on private transport will be key for residents, potentially leading to a higher proportion of owner-occupiers and families seeking a quieter pace of life.
