Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €345,000, 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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the E2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €10,000 and is estimated to increase property value by €17,500, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Costly Upgrade: The current E2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs could be around €2,000-€2,500, significantly higher than the €900-€1,300 estimated for a B-rated property of similar size.
- Generous Space: With 120sqm and 7 bedrooms, this bungalow offers a substantial living space that is 100% larger than the median 3-bedroom property typically sold within a 5km radius.
- Hypothesis: Given the substantial investment required to improve the BER rating and the property's existing configuration of 7 bedrooms which is atypical for the local market median of 3, a strategic renovation focusing on energy efficiency and perhaps reconfiguring some bedrooms could unlock significant untapped value.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: The nearest public transport links are typically several kilometers away, likely requiring a car for access to services like Bus Éireann routes or regional train services.
Details
- Local Services: The immediate area is primarily rural, with the nearest significant retail and healthcare amenities likely located in Dundalk town center, approximately a 15-20 minute drive away.
- Commuter Challenge: Commuting to Dublin would likely involve a drive to a train station such as Dundalk Station (approx. 15-20 min drive) and then a train journey, making it a longer commute than properties with direct public transport access.
- Hypothesis: The property's rural location, while offering seclusion, presents a significant connectivity challenge for daily commutes and access to immediate amenities, suggesting that its value is more aligned with lifestyle buyers seeking tranquility rather than those prioritizing convenience and rapid urban access.
