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 Deficit: The property has a 'SI_666' BER rating, which is effectively unknown and likely signifies a very low energy efficiency, necessitating significant investment for upgrades.

Details

Upgrade Cost Projection: To bring a derelict cottage of 120m² with a poor BER to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing its value by €15,000-€20,000.
Condition & Value Optimization: Given its derelict state, the property's value is predominantly tied to its 1-acre site, with the cottage itself requiring substantial renovation or demolition, presenting a blank canvas for development rather than a move-in ready solution.
Hypothesis: The 'SI_666' BER rating indicates a complete lack of energy efficiency, meaning that any realistic renovation or new build on this site would likely start from scratch with modern insulation and heating systems, aligning with the potential for significant value uplift through a substantial capital investment.

Amenities

Limited Local Transport: Being outside Dublin, the nearest public transport options are likely to be sparse, with no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas stops mentioned as serving Newtown, Ballyvaughan directly.

Details

Distance to Key Services: While specific local amenities are not detailed, Ballyvaughan is known for its rural character. Primary healthcare access would likely require travel to larger towns like Kinvara or Ennis, with the nearest hospitals being in Galway or Limerick.
Rural Lifestyle & Walkability: The property is located on 1 acre, offering potential for private outdoor space. Walkability to amenities would be very limited, necessitating car travel for most daily needs, with local shops and schools likely being several kilometres away.
Hypothesis: The significant isolation of this rural location, indicated by the lack of readily available public transport and local services, suggests that the premium associated with this property lies solely in its landholding and potential for a secluded lifestyle, rather than proximity to urban conveniences.
