Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €275,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 3.0km. More local transactions are needed before the data can support a market position estimate.
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: With a B3 BER rating, this property is well-positioned for energy efficiency, typically resulting in annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600, compared to €1,800-€2,400 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Space Optimization: The 85m² size is standard for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home in many Irish markets, offering efficient living space without excessive overhead.
Value Enhancement: While already B3, a further investment of €6,000-€10,000 in insulation and draught-proofing could potentially nudge the BER to B2, increasing property value by €8,000-€12,000.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating suggests a proactive approach to energy efficiency by previous owners, and this could be a leading indicator of overall better property maintenance and a more modern internal specification compared to older, lower-rated properties.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not provided, the 'Outside Dublin' location implies reliance on local bus services or private transport, with limited access to major public transport hubs like train stations or Luas stops.
Lifestyle Amenities: Rossnowlagh and Ballintra are known for their coastal proximity and natural beauty, offering access to beaches and scenic walks, but specific retail, extensive dining, or advanced healthcare facilities may require travel to larger towns like Donegal Town.
Family Services: Educational facilities and childcare options would likely be located in Ballintra or Donegal Town, with the nearest primary school estimated to be several kilometers away, impacting daily family logistics.
Hypothesis: The limited public transport connectivity and distance to larger service hubs in this 'Outside Dublin' location suggest that the primary buyer demographic will be those seeking a quieter, rural lifestyle, potentially valuing proximity to nature over immediate urban convenience.

Common Questions
Bid strategy figures are derived from the Property Price Register — Ireland's official record of closed residential sale prices, verified through stamp duty. Floor area data comes from the SEAI BER register. Flood exposure is cross-referenced against OPW flood extent mapping (CFRAM fluvial + NCFHM coastal) and historical flood events. Planning activity is sourced from the National Planning Application Database via MyPlan.ie — merged Local Authority planning registers from the Department of Housing.
