Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 and could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a positive return on investment.
Energy Cost Estimate: With a D2 BER, annual energy costs for this 336m² bungalow are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for comparable properties with a B-rated BER.
Generous Size: The 336m² size with 8 bedrooms offers significant space, which can be a strong selling point if configured effectively for modern family needs or potential rental income.
Hypothesis: Investing in a comprehensive BER upgrade from D2 to B1 or A3 could unlock an additional €25,000-€35,000 in property value, driven by energy cost savings and increased buyer appeal in a market increasingly valuing sustainable living.
Amenities
Connectivity Limited: As a rural property in Co. Donegal, direct access to major public transport like Dublin Bus routes, Luas, or DART stations serving this immediate area is unlikely.
Local Services: While specific names are unavailable in the data, expect typical rural amenities such as local shops, primary schools, and healthcare facilities to be present within a reasonable driving distance in nearby towns like Raphoe or St. Johnston.
Walkability Concerns: The property's description as 'Outside Dublin' and the lack of specific walking routes suggest that pedestrian access to amenities is likely limited, necessitating car travel for most errands.
Hypothesis: The value of this property is heavily reliant on its unique setting and potential for privacy rather than proximity to extensive amenities, meaning its appeal will be strongest to buyers seeking a rural lifestyle over urban convenience.
