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
Pending BER Rating: The BER rating is pending, meaning its energy efficiency and potential running costs are currently unknown, requiring further investigation before purchase.
Standard Size: At 71.0m², this 3-bedroom semi-detached property offers a functional but standard living space for its type and bedroom count, without being overly large or compact for the local market.
Potential Value Uplift: If the pending BER rating is found to be in the D, E, F, or G range, a targeted energy efficiency upgrade to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Hypothesis: Given the pending BER rating and the typical age of semi-detached cottages, it's probable the property's current rating will be average to poor; proactively budgeting for energy upgrades could unlock significant value appreciation and future running cost savings, making it a key investment consideration.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: As a rural property in Kilcar, Co. Donegal (F94P8W9), direct access to specific bus routes, train stations, Luas or DART stops is highly unlikely, necessitating reliance on private transport.

Natural and Recreational Access: The location in Kilcar, known for its scenic beauty, suggests ample opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and enjoying the coastal landscape, enhancing lifestyle appeal for nature enthusiasts.
Hypothesis: The property's rural setting in Kilcar, while offering significant lifestyle benefits such as access to natural landscapes, presents a considerable connectivity challenge for commuters or those reliant on public transport, suggesting its primary appeal will be to buyers prioritizing a tranquil, nature-focused lifestyle over urban convenience.
