Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €499,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 5.0km. 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 5.0km over the past 36 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 Rating Limitation: The 'SI_666' BER rating is an unknown standard and lacks comparable market data for valuation impact; however, a general unknown or low BER rating for a property of this size typically suggests higher energy costs.
Potential for Improvement: Given the unknown BER rating, assuming a D-grade equivalent, upgrading insulation and heating systems could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000, potentially increasing property value by €18,000-€25,000 and reducing annual energy expenditure by €500-€800.
Standard Configuration: The property features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, aligning with the median metrics of 3 beds and 2 baths within 100km, indicating a standard configuration for the area.
Hypothesis: The unknown BER rating, if indicative of lower energy efficiency, represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; investing in a comprehensive energy upgrade to achieve a B-rating could unlock an additional 8-12% in property value due to increased buyer appeal and lower running costs.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Ramelton is not directly served by any train stations or Luas/DART stops; nearest public transport would likely involve local bus services connecting to larger hubs.
Rural Service Access: As a town outside Dublin, Ramelton's amenities would be more localized; key services likely include local primary schools (e.g., St Mary's National School, Ramelton), local shops, and health services based in Letterkenny (e.g., Letterkenny University Hospital, approximately 15km away).
Walkability & Local Life: Ramelton is a village with a walkable centre, offering local shops, cafes, and public spaces, contributing to a quieter, community-focused lifestyle.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Ramelton, Co. Donegal, presents a lifestyle choice favouring rural tranquility over urban convenience; any future development focusing on improved broadband infrastructure or direct regional transport links to Letterkenny or Derry could significantly enhance its appeal and future value proposition.
