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 SI_666 BER rating indicates very poor energy performance, likely incurring annual energy costs of €2,000-€2,500, compared to €900-€1,300 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Costly BER Upgrade: Upgrading this property from SI_666 to a C-rated BER would likely cost between €15,000-€20,000, potentially increasing its value by €20,000-€25,000.
Compact Living Space: At 36m², this 1-bedroom property is considerably smaller than typical detached homes, potentially limiting its appeal to a niche buyer group and impacting resale value.
Hypothesis: Given the very low BER rating and compact size, a significant investment in energy efficiency upgrades and potentially an extension, costing upwards of €30,000-€40,000, would be necessary to align its quality with the €119,000 estimated value and make it competitive.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Achill Island is not served by national train lines or Luas/DART services; local bus services are infrequent and may require significant travel time to reach main routes.
Rural Service Access: Essential services like supermarkets, healthcare facilities, and schools are likely to be some distance away, requiring car dependency for most daily needs.
Natural Landscape Focus: While Achill offers stunning natural beauty and walking routes, its amenity offering is primarily geared towards outdoor pursuits rather than urban conveniences.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links and proximity to major urban centers will continue to suppress property values in Derreens, Achill, unless significant government investment is made in improving road infrastructure and public transport connectivity to the mainland.
