PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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 Rating Potential: The 'B' BER rating on a derelict cottage suggests a potential for a good rating post-renovation; however, specific details on current energy efficiency are missing for the existing structure.
Details
- Size and Configuration Mismatch: The property is listed as a 'Site' with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, indicating a derelict structure on land rather than a functional dwelling, which is atypical for the median 3-bed, 2-bath properties prevalent in nearby markets.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the property is a 'derelict cottage', significant investment will be required for renovation. Upgrading from a potential low BER (common for derelict properties) to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000 in a market with a B BER median.
- Hypothesis: The significant land parcel (c.1.7 acres) accompanying a derelict cottage suggests a substantial opportunity for a buyer to leverage planning permissions for a larger, modern dwelling that could command a price significantly higher than the €215,749 estimated value, especially if the land is suitable for multiple units or a high-specification build.
Amenities
Connectivity Gap: Tarmonbarry, Co. Roscommon, is outside the immediate Dublin commuter belt, meaning direct access to Dublin Bus routes, Luas, or DART services is not available; residents would likely rely on regional bus services to reach major transport hubs.
Details
- Local Services Scan: Specific local amenities like schools, hospitals, or major shopping centres are not detailed for Tarmonbarry itself, requiring a commute to larger towns like Longford or Carrick-on-Shannon for comprehensive services.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location in Whitehall, Tarmonbarry, offers a rural setting with access to the River Shannon, indicating a lifestyle appeal focused on outdoor activities and tranquility, rather than urban convenience.
- Hypothesis: The property's location suggests a strong reliance on private vehicle transport, with nearest significant public transport likely being bus routes connecting to Longford town, which then offers onward connections to Dublin, implying a longer and multi-stage commute for those travelling to the capital.
