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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the E2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €10,000 - €15,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €18,000 - €25,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Energy Cost Differential: An E2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs in the range of €1,800 - €2,400, compared to €900 - €1,300 for a B2 rated property of similar size, equating to annual savings of €900 - €1,100.
Spacious Configuration: The bungalow offers a generous 120.0m² spread across 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, providing ample living space that appeals to families, though a second bathroom would enhance functionality.
Hypothesis: The limited data on nearby properties' BER ratings makes it difficult to establish a precise trend, but it's probable that properties with significantly lower BER ratings (F, G) in this area would require substantial investment to reach the current E2 standard, suggesting this property's BER is not a complete outlier but still presents a clear upgrade path.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations explicitly mentioned as serving Derrooghs, Kilkerrin directly, suggesting reliance on private transport.
Essential Services Nearby: While specific names are not provided, Kilkerrin would typically offer local primary schools, pharmacies, and basic retail outlets crucial for daily living.
Rural Setting Amenities: The location suggests a strong reliance on local community facilities and potentially further travel for comprehensive shopping centres, diverse dining, or specialized healthcare services found in larger towns.
Hypothesis: The lack of readily available public transport and specific amenity details for Derrooghs, Kilkerrin suggests a deliberate lifestyle choice for buyers prioritizing a rural setting, and this will likely continue to attract a niche market less dependent on urban connectivity, potentially influencing long-term price growth relative to more connected areas.
