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 unknown, and given the 'Unknown' energy rating, it's likely to be poor, suggesting potential for significant energy efficiency upgrades.
Details
- Upgrade Potential: Improving from an unknown/poor BER to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a clear return on investment.
- Size Anomaly: With 130.0m², this townhouse is within the 'Large' size category, which is generally positive, but its 4 bedrooms and only 1 bathroom present a configuration mismatch with typical buyer preferences for such a size, potentially impacting desirability.
- Hypothesis: The significant gap between the number of bedrooms (4) and bathrooms (1) in a property of this size suggests a potentially awkward internal layout that could deter buyers seeking modern convenience, and any future renovation should prioritize addressing this imbalance to unlock full market potential.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: As this property is in Ramelton, Co. Donegal, it is not served by Dublin Bus routes, Luas stops, or DART stations; nearest bus services would be local Donegal County Council routes, implying limited direct public transport to major urban centers.
Details
- Rural Amenities: Ramelton offers local shops and community facilities, but lacks the concentration of educational institutions (colleges, universities) and large healthcare facilities (hospitals) found in urban areas.
- Walkability and Local Access: Ramelton is a historic town with a walkable centre, offering local cafes and amenities, but public green spaces and dedicated family services like childcare facilities would require specific local knowledge to identify.
- Hypothesis: The property's rural location in Co. Donegal, lacking direct public transport links to Dublin, positions it as a lifestyle choice rather than a commuter hub, meaning its value appreciation will be heavily tied to local economic development and regional infrastructure improvements rather than national transport network accessibility.
