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 G Deficit: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a B2 standard is estimated to cost €15,000-€20,000 and could increase the property value by €20,000-€25,000, representing a significant investment opportunity.
Compact Footprint: At 48.0m², this is a small detached property, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more space, though its compact size could also offer lower running costs.
Value Optimization: Given the G BER rating and small size, focusing on energy efficiency upgrades and potentially clever internal space utilization will be key to maximizing its resale value and attractiveness.
Hypothesis: The significant cost to improve from a G to a B2 BER rating (€15,000-€20,000) coupled with a small footprint may make this property a more attractive prospect for a niche buyer focused on minimal living or as a renovation project for investors, rather than a typical family home.
Amenities
Limited Connectivity: As this property is outside Dublin, specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART services serving Ballinabrannagh are not detailed in the provided data, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Local Services Unknown: Specific details on educational facilities, healthcare access, shopping, and lifestyle amenities in Ballinabrannagh are not provided, making an assessment of local convenience challenging.
Walkability Assessment: Without specific information on walking routes and pedestrian infrastructure, the walkability of Ballinabrannagh for accessing local services cannot be determined from the provided data.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific local amenity data for Ballinabrannagh suggests it is likely a rural or semi-rural area where development of public transport and concentrated retail/services may be limited, positioning the property as a potentially more isolated dwelling that would appeal to buyers prioritizing a quieter lifestyle over urban convenience.
