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
Substandard BER Rating: The BER rating of SI_666 indicates extremely poor energy performance, with estimated annual energy costs likely exceeding €2,500-€3,500 for a property of this size and age, significantly higher than a C-rated property.
Significant Renovation Needed: As a derelict cottage of only 27m², substantial investment will be required to make it habitable, with costs for basic structural repairs, insulation, and upgrades likely starting from €50,000-€80,000 to achieve a reasonable BER rating of C or D.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Bringing this derelict cottage up to a B2 BER rating could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000, potentially increasing its market value by €25,000-€35,000, offering a strong return on investment for diligent renovators.
Hypothesis: The current derelict state and extremely low BER rating significantly devalue the property, but the 3.45 acres present an opportunity. If renovations focus on creating a high-quality, energy-efficient dwelling with excellent BER (A or B), the combined value of the renovated cottage and land could achieve a premium upwards of €250,000-€300,000 in the current market.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The area is outside Dublin and specific local bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations serving Crehelp, Dunlavin are not listed in the provided data, indicating reliance on private transport.
Rural Shopping Landscape: Specific shops, supermarkets, or shopping centres in close proximity to Crehelp, Dunlavin are not detailed, suggesting that residents likely travel to larger towns for significant retail needs.
Scarcity of Local Services: No specific schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, or childcare facilities are named in the provided amenities analysis for this precise location, indicating a need to travel for essential services and education.
Hypothesis: The lack of detailed local amenities suggests that this property's appeal is primarily driven by its land size and rural setting rather than its connectivity to services; buyers will likely prioritize proximity to larger towns like Naas or Blessington for amenities, impacting commute times and daily convenience.
