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
Below Average BER: The C1 BER rating indicates moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 rating would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 and could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Moderate Annual Savings: A C1 BER rating suggests annual energy costs of approximately €1,400-€1,800 for an 81m² apartment, compared to €1,000-€1,400 for a B2 rated property, offering potential annual savings of €400-€600.
- Standard Configuration: The 81m² size and 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout are standard for apartments in this area, offering practical living space that aligns with typical market expectations.
- Hypothesis: The current C1 BER rating offers a mid-range energy performance; however, proactive investment in insulation and heating system upgrades could push this property into the B-rated bracket, enhancing its appeal and future resale value, particularly as energy efficiency becomes a more significant purchasing factor.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: While located on Cavan Road, Virginia, there are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations listed as directly serving this exact address within the provided data, indicating potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Shopping and Education: The area likely benefits from local amenities within Virginia town, including supermarkets like SuperValu, and educational facilities such as Virginia National School and Virginia College.
- Healthcare Proximity: Access to healthcare would likely involve local GP practices and pharmacies within Virginia, with Cavan General Hospital being the nearest major hospital, approximately a 30-minute drive away.
- Hypothesis: The property's location outside of major urban transport hubs, coupled with its presence in a regional town like Virginia, suggests that its value is more closely tied to local employment opportunities and community amenities rather than commuter links to larger cities, making it an attractive option for those seeking a quieter lifestyle with access to essential services.
