Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €205,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 5.0km. More local transactions are needed before the data can support a market position estimate.
Sources: PPR, SEAI, OPW, planning records.
Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 1 comparable transaction within 5.0km over the past 36 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this property.
This can happen for properties in lower-turnover areas or very specific property types. Check back as new transactions register on the Property Price Register, or search for a nearby comparable property.

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 Impact: The SI_666 BER rating indicates very poor energy efficiency, suggesting annual energy costs likely exceeding €2,500-€3,500 compared to a C-rated property, representing a significant ongoing expense for a buyer.
Upgrade Investment: Upgrading the BER rating from SI_666 to a C1 would likely cost €15,000-€25,000 but could increase the property's value by €20,000-€30,000, presenting a clear return on investment opportunity.
Space Utilization: With 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom across 120m², this property has an unusually low density of living spaces, implying significant potential for expansion or repurposing to increase market appeal and value.
Hypothesis: The substantial discrepancy between the property's estimated value and the local median sale price, combined with its exceptionally low bedroom count for its size and poor BER, points to a significant undervaluation of its renovation and extension potential, which could dramatically alter its market positioning.
Amenities
Connectivity Gaps: Valentia Island's remote location means direct public transport access is limited, with no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops serving Dohilla directly.
Local Services: Access to primary schools, healthcare facilities, major shopping centres, and diverse lifestyle amenities would require significant travel from Dohilla, indicating a low walkability score for day-to-day needs.
Limited Amenities: The immediate vicinity of Dohilla on Valentia Island is predominantly rural, with no specific named schools, shops, or restaurants listed as being within close proximity, suggesting reliance on amenities in Cahersiveen or further afield.
Hypothesis: The isolation of Valentia Island, while offering unique lifestyle benefits, presents a significant barrier for commuters and those reliant on public services, suggesting that any future infrastructure development, such as improved ferry services or enhanced local connectivity, would be a major catalyst for increased property values.
