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 Advantage: With a B2 BER rating, this property is significantly more energy-efficient than a typical D-rated property, potentially saving €1,000-€1,400 annually in energy costs compared to a similar-sized D-rated home.
Generous Proportions: The 211m² size and 5 bedrooms offer substantial living space, which is likely to be well-received in a market where larger family homes can command a premium.
Value Optimization: Given the B2 BER, potential investors could consider targeted upgrades to achieve an A-rating, likely costing €8,000-€12,000, which could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and further reduce annual running costs.
Hypothesis: The B2 BER rating offers a strong baseline of energy efficiency that aligns with current market trends favouring sustainable homes, and the significant size of the property, when combined with even moderate energy efficiency improvements, could unlock further valuation potential not yet reflected in immediate comparable sales.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Balla does not have direct Luas, DART, or major train stations; residents would likely rely on local bus services which are not specified in the provided data for specific routes or frequencies.
Essential Local Services: The property is located on Main Street, Balla, suggesting proximity to local shops, a pharmacy, and potentially primary schools like Balla National School, serving immediate daily needs.
Rural Connectivity: While not detailed, a Main Street address implies reasonable walkability to core village amenities, though access to larger retail centres or specialized healthcare would likely require travel outside of Balla.
Hypothesis: The value proposition of this property is heavily dependent on its appeal to local buyers who prioritize village living and accessibility to basic amenities, rather than those seeking extensive public transport links or a wide array of urban lifestyle facilities typically found in larger towns or cities.
