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
Subpar BER Rating: The SI_666 BER rating indicates very poor energy efficiency, likely costing significantly more to heat than properties with better ratings.
Upgrade Investment: Improving from a SI_666 rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 but potentially increase property value by €20,000-€25,000.
Space Efficiency: At 80m² with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the internal space is modest, which may be a limiting factor for larger families or those seeking more expansive living areas.
Hypothesis: The significant investment required to bring the BER rating up to a more acceptable standard (likely C or B) from SI_666, combined with the property's isolated location, suggests that buyers may prioritize the land and seclusion over the immediate capital expenditure on energy upgrades.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: No specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops are listed as serving Granabeg Upper directly, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Rural Isolation: Specific educational facilities, healthcare access points like hospitals or clinics, shopping centres, and family services are not detailed in the provided data for this immediate rural location.
Low Walkability: Given its rural address, walkability and pedestrian access to amenities are likely to be minimal, requiring car travel for most daily needs.
Hypothesis: The primary amenity value of this property lies in its extensive land (c. 17.43 acres) and detached rural setting, attracting buyers specifically seeking privacy and space, rather than those prioritizing proximity to urban conveniences or public transport.
