Low
Confidence Level
Sale prices in this area vary more than usual, so there is some uncertainty in the figures. Bid conservatively and in small increments.
Limited recent transaction volume reduces trend precision. Strategy remains anchored to closed-sale distribution.
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
Significant BER Upgrade Potential: Upgrading this D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Suboptimal Size for Bedroom Count: A 69m² apartment with 5003 bedrooms is highly unusual and indicates a significant mismatch or data error, making typical size comparisons difficult.
- BER D1 Below Standard: The D1 BER rating is significantly below the 10km radius median of 2.5 bathrooms and 3.0 bedrooms, indicating potential for increased energy costs compared to more efficient properties.
- Hypothesis: Given the extreme discrepancy in bedroom count versus size, a detailed structural survey and reassessment of the property's intended use (e.g., student accommodation conversion, multi-unit) is crucial to determine accurate quality and value, rather than relying on the provided bedroom count.
Amenities
Transport Links Limited: Carlow town has limited direct public transport to Dublin, with the nearest train station being Carlow Station, approximately 2.5km away, and bus services primarily limited to local routes.
Details
- Local Amenities Accessible: Within Carlow town, residents have access to facilities such as Scoil Mhuire, Carlow IT, St. Luke's Hospital, and various shops along Tullow Street.
- Walkability in Town Centre: The immediate area around Kilkenny Road offers reasonable walkability to local shops, pharmacies, and parks like Visual Arts Centre Carlow, with a moderate distance to Carlow train station.
- Hypothesis: The location in Carlow, outside of the immediate Dublin commuter belt, suggests that any future increase in property value will be driven more by local development and infrastructure upgrades within Carlow town, such as improved public transport links or new employment hubs, rather than by proximity to Dublin.
