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
Moderate Energy Efficiency: With a 'C' BER rating, the annual energy costs are estimated to be around €1,400-€1,800, compared to €800-€1,200 for 'A' rated properties of similar size.
Size Efficiency: At 72.0m², the apartment offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, providing a standard configuration for its size, which aligns with typical buyer expectations for a property of this type.
Value Optimization: While a 'C' BER is acceptable, investing €6,000-€10,000 to achieve a 'B' rating could reduce annual energy bills by approximately €400-€600 and potentially increase resale value by €10,000-€15,000.
Hypothesis: The 'C' BER rating, while not poor, represents a missed opportunity for significant long-term savings and value enhancement, as properties with 'B' or 'A' ratings in desirable coastal locations often command a premium due to lower running costs and perceived modernity.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The absence of specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops mentioned for Barley Cove indicates that private transport is essential for connectivity.
Local Lifestyle Offerings: While specific names are absent, the 'Beach Apartments' designation implies proximity to coastal recreational activities, potentially including local cafes and restaurants catering to tourists and residents.
Walkability: The 'Beach Apartments' address suggests good walkability for accessing the immediate beach environment and potentially local coastal paths, offering significant lifestyle appeal for residents.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links to major urban centers means the property's value is highly dependent on its intrinsic appeal as a holiday home or a permanent residence for those who prioritize coastal living and are less reliant on daily commuting, suggesting potential for appreciation driven by local tourism and retirement trends.
