Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €350,000, 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 Potential: With a BER rating of 'B', this site, once developed, would offer good energy efficiency; upgrading to an 'A' rating for a developed property could potentially reduce annual energy costs by €300-€500 compared to a C-rated property, representing a tangible saving.
Details
- Site vs. Developed Value: The property is listed as a 'Site' with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, indicating its current undeveloped status, making direct quality comparisons to sold properties with existing structures challenging.
- Development Opportunity: As a site, its quality is defined by its potential; a €350,000 investment for the site, combined with an estimated build cost for a 2-bed, 2-bath dwelling of €250,000-€350,000 (depending on specifications), could yield a total project cost of €600,000-€700,000.
- Hypothesis: Given the 'Site' property type and BER rating of 'B' (which applies to the existing structure, not the site itself), the true quality assessment will be determined by the efficiency and sustainability of the future build; a strategically designed home achieving an A-rated BER could command a significant premium of €20,000-€30,000 over a standard build, particularly in a market showing strong price growth.
Amenities
Coastal Connectivity: Fountainstown is served by Bus Éireann route 237 providing direct links to Carrigaline and Cork City, and is approximately a 20-minute drive to Cork City Centre.
Details
- Local Lifestyle: The immediate area offers coastal walks and access to Fountainstown Beach, with nearby villages like Carrigaline (5km) providing essential retail and dining options, including Bernard's Supervalu and a selection of cafes.
- Healthcare Proximity: Cork University Hospital and the Bons Secours Hospital are located within a 25-minute drive from Fountainstown, ensuring excellent healthcare access for residents.
- Hypothesis: The appeal of Fountainstown lies in its balance of serene coastal living with convenient access to urban amenities; future infrastructure development, such as improved public transport frequency on Route 237 or enhanced local cycling paths to Carrigaline, could significantly boost property values by reducing commute times and increasing desirability for a broader range of buyers.
