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 Upgrade Potential: The property's E2 BER rating presents a significant opportunity; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase the property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a substantial return on investment.
Annual Energy Savings: Improving the E2 BER rating to a B2 could reduce annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 (for D/E-rated properties of this size) to €800-€1,200, saving a potential €1,000-€1,400 annually.
Compact Living Advantage: At 58m² with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, this detached property offers a compact and manageable living space, potentially appealing to a niche market of buyers seeking a smaller footprint, whether for a starter home or a holiday retreat.
