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 Advantage: The B BER rating offers a significant advantage, as properties with this rating typically have annual energy costs that are €1,000-€1,400 lower than E or F-rated properties of similar size.
Details
- Site vs. Dwelling: Despite having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms listed, the property type is 'Site' with 0m² size, creating a discrepancy that needs clarification regarding existing structures or planned development potential.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While a BER B rating is good, achieving a BER A rating could further reduce annual energy costs by an estimated €400-€600 and potentially increase market value by 5-7% with an investment of €8,000-€12,000 for targeted upgrades.
- Hypothesis: The discrepancy between the stated bedrooms/bathrooms and 'Site' property type, combined with a B BER rating, suggests an opportunity to significantly enhance the property's value proposition by developing a well-designed dwelling that capitalizes on the existing energy efficiency potential.
Amenities
Limited Transport Links: As Gowlan West, Clifden is outside Dublin, specific bus routes, train stations, Luas or DART stops are not provided, indicating potential reliance on private transport.
Details
