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
Costly BER Upgrade: An E1 BER rating necessitates significant investment; upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but may increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a long-term investment opportunity.
Details
- Size Efficiency Opportunity: At 48m², this 1-bedroom apartment is significantly smaller than the average property size of 113m² within a 3km radius, suggesting a focus on efficient space utilization but potentially limiting appeal to a broader buyer demographic.
- Value Optimization Potential: The E1 BER rating indicates potential for substantial energy cost savings through targeted upgrades, estimated at €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to lower-rated properties of similar size, turning a current drawback into a future asset.
- Hypothesis: The E1 BER rating, while currently a deterrent, presents a tangible opportunity for value enhancement; a strategic investment in insulation and heating system upgrades could not only reduce operational costs but also significantly improve the property's market appeal and resale value within the context of an increasingly energy-conscious market.
Amenities
Coastal Connectivity: While the specific data does not list exact routes, Strand Road in Bray is historically well-served by Dublin Bus routes connecting to Dublin city center and surrounding areas, with Bray DART station providing rapid rail access.
Details
- Local Lifestyle Hub: Bray offers a vibrant mix of amenities, including numerous restaurants and cafes along the seafront and in the town center, alongside the scenic Bray Head for outdoor activities and a local library.
- Family & Healthcare Access: The area is served by multiple primary and secondary schools such as St. Thomas Junior School and Bray School Project, with easy access to St. Colmcille's Hospital and local pharmacies within a short commute.
- Hypothesis: The established infrastructure of Bray, including direct DART access to Dublin and a wealth of local lifestyle amenities, positions this property favorably for commuters and those seeking a coastal lifestyle, suggesting that while the immediate micro-location data is limited, the broader Bray area offers significant appeal that can support property values.
