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 Cost: Upgrading this E1 rated apartment from an E1 to a C1 rating would likely cost between €9,000 and €14,000, potentially increasing its market value by €12,000 to €18,000.
Details
- Small Footprint Value: At 42m², this 1-bedroom apartment is compact and could be optimized for efficiency, offering a distinct value proposition for single occupants or investors compared to larger family homes.
- Investment in Efficiency: Given the E1 BER rating, investing in insulation, window upgrades, and efficient heating systems could reduce annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €1,100-€1,500, representing savings of €700-€1,100 annually.
- Hypothesis: The current E1 BER rating suggests significant potential for value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, which could not only improve the property's appeal and reduce running costs but also help it align more closely with the higher BER ratings observed in a significant portion of recent sales within the broader 100km radius.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Ferns is served by Bus Éireann routes 360 and 362, providing regional connectivity, with the nearest major train station being Enniscorthy, approximately 10km away.
Details
- Local Services: Residents have access to amenities such as Ferns National School, Garda Síochána Na hÉireann (Garda Síochána) station in Ferns, and local shops including Quinn's Supermarket within walking distance.
- Walkability: The property's location on Main Street, Ferns, offers good walkability to essential services, including local cafes like The Village Kitchen and the Ferns Medical Centre, approximately 500m away.
- Hypothesis: Despite Ferns not having direct access to national rail or major urban transport links like Luas or DART, its strategic position on Main Street and existing bus routes facilitate a self-contained lifestyle, and any future infrastructure improvements or increased service frequency on Bus Éireann routes 360/362 could significantly boost its commuter appeal and property value.
