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 Rating Impact: The C2 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, with estimated annual energy savings of €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property.
Size Efficiency: At 137m², the property offers a good size for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home, aligning with the median of 3 bedrooms in the wider market but is larger than the 3.5 bedrooms indicated by a recent 5km radius sale.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the asking price versus its estimated value, significant value optimization could be achieved by addressing the BER rating and potentially enhancing internal finishes to match the higher end of local sales, aiming to recoup the €190,474 estimated value gap.
Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while not poor, represents a missed opportunity for substantial value uplift; a targeted investment in energy efficiency upgrades could reposition this property in the top quartile of its immediate market, fetching a price closer to the 90th percentile of sales within a 10km radius.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While the data doesn't list specific routes for Beaufort, Co. Kerry, it is a rural area, suggesting reliance on local bus services like Bus Éireann routes serving County Kerry, with the nearest significant rail links likely being Farranfore or Tralee stations, over 15km away.
Lifestyle Amenities: Beaufort is situated near the Killarney National Park, offering extensive natural amenities, including hiking and water activities; local shops and restaurants would be found in Beaufort village and nearby Killarney town.
Walkability and Local Services: Beaufort village itself offers basic local services and some shops, and the immediate area around The Orchard is likely residential with local footpaths, but extensive walkability to larger amenities would require transport.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Beaufort, Co. Kerry, while offering access to natural beauty, is likely to have limited public transport connectivity and a greater reliance on private vehicles for accessing major retail, healthcare, and educational facilities, which could impact its long-term appeal to a broad buyer demographic.
