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 Potential: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating would likely cost between €10,000-€15,000 and could increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000, representing a significant return on investment.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 46.0m², this property is significantly smaller than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found in markets within 10km and 100km radii, indicating a less spacious configuration.
- Condition Investment Opportunity: Given the G BER rating and small size, substantial investment in insulation, heating systems, and potential renovations (€15,000-€25,000) could be required to bring the property to modern standards and align it with the higher quality properties in surrounding areas.
- Hypothesis: The current G BER rating and limited size present an opportunity for a buyer to significantly enhance property value through targeted energy efficiency upgrades and potential extensions, transforming it into a more competitive offering against larger, better-rated properties.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Donard is not directly served by any specific bus routes mentioned in the data, nor are there Luas or DART stations within readily accessible proximity based on the provided metrics, suggesting reliance on private transport for broader connectivity.
Details
- Rural Lifestyle Amenities: While specific amenities are not detailed in the provided raw data for Donard, its location in Co. Wicklow typically offers access to local shops, primary schools, and natural recreational areas characteristic of a rural setting.
- Walkability Limitations: The Main Street address suggests some level of local walkability for immediate services, but the absence of specific transport links implies that accessing larger shopping centres, educational institutions, or healthcare facilities would likely require travel outside the village.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Donard, while offering potential for a quieter lifestyle, signifies a reliance on private vehicles for accessing key amenities, which could be a significant consideration for buyers prioritizing easy access to public transport networks like Dublin Bus or rail services.
