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
Substantial Value Gain: Upgrading the BER rating from B to A would likely cost €10,000-€15,000 and could increase the property's intrinsic value by €20,000-€30,000, offering a clear return on investment for future development.
Space Efficiency: The site's 12m² size is extremely small, suggesting it may not be suitable for conventional residential development given the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms listed, which is incongruent with typical site usage and may imply a specific niche purpose.
BER Advantage: A BER B rating offers a good foundation, with annual energy costs estimated at €1,000-€1,500, compared to €2,000-€2,500 for comparable G-rated properties of similar potential build size, contributing to long-term operational savings.
Hypothesis: The reported 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for a 12m² site are likely data entry errors for development land; if accurate, they suggest an unusual property configuration that could dramatically limit buyer pool and future development potential, necessitating a complete reassessment of planning permissions and intended use.
Amenities
Limited Transport Access: As development land in Ballymote, Co. Sligo, this site is unlikely to be served by specific Dublin bus routes, Luas stops, or DART stations; residents would rely on local Sligo bus services and the Ballymote train station for connectivity, a significant disadvantage for Dublin commuters.
Local Services: Ballymote offers essential amenities including Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal (primary school), Mercy College (secondary school), and pharmacies like Sligo Pharmacy, with basic retail options at local shops, providing a functional but not extensive lifestyle offering.
Healthcare Proximity: The nearest hospital is Sligo University Hospital, approximately a 25-30 minute drive away, with local clinics and GP services available within Ballymote, ensuring a reasonable level of healthcare access for future residents.
Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' classification for a site in Ballymote, Co. Sligo, combined with its remote location from major transport hubs like the M50 or a direct intercity rail line to Dublin, suggests that the primary market for any development on this land would be local or regional, and any value proposition must be anchored in the Sligo region's specific growth and amenity drivers rather than national connectivity.
