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 Advantage: With a B2 BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600, compared to €2,000-€2,600 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Generous Proportions: The 390m² size offers ample living space, which is a strong attribute for larger families or those seeking extensive accommodation.
Upgrade Potential: While B2 is good, upgrading to an A-rating would likely cost €10,000-€15,000 but could potentially increase property value by €20,000-€25,000.
Hypothesis: The B2 BER rating, while commendable, places this property in the upper-middle tier of energy efficiency in a market where increasing demand for A-rated homes could command a 5-10% premium in the long term, making incremental upgrades a strategic value-add.
