PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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
Energy Efficiency: The C2 BER rating means potential annual energy costs of €1,500-€2,000, compared to €800-€1,200 for B-rated properties of similar size, offering an opportunity for savings through upgrades.
Size Advantage: At 120m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house is a standard configuration, likely meeting local demand for family homes, aligning with the 3 same broad type sales within 1km.
Value Optimization: Upgrading the BER from C2 to B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a strong return on investment.
Hypothesis: While the C2 BER is adequate, investing in a further BER upgrade (e.g., to B1/A3) could unlock an additional 5-7% in market value, particularly if nearby comparable sales in the last 180 days predominantly feature higher BER ratings.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not detailed, Rathvilly's location outside Dublin implies reliance on regional bus services, with potential connections to Carlow town for further rail access to Dublin.
Local Services: Rathvilly offers essential local amenities, likely including primary schools like Scoil Phádraig Naofa, local shops, and potentially a pharmacy, catering to daily needs within the community.
Lifestyle Amenities: The area offers a quieter, rural lifestyle, likely with access to local parks, community centres, and surrounding countryside for outdoor activities, appealing to those seeking a balance between town convenience and country living.
Hypothesis: The limited public transport data available for Rathvilly suggests that car dependency is high; however, its proximity to Carlow town (approx. 15km) means that residents can access more extensive amenities and transport links, including train services to Dublin, within a short drive.
