Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €199,950, 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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the E2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €10,000-€15,000 but is estimated to increase property value by €18,000-€25,000, representing a valuable investment.
Space Efficiency: At 101m², this 2-bedroom property offers a reasonable size, but the layout may benefit from optimization to enhance perceived value in comparison to larger or more efficiently configured local properties.
Value Optimization: Focusing on energy efficiency upgrades from E2 to C1 would likely cost €6,000-€9,000 and could boost the property's appeal and marketability, potentially adding €10,000-€15,000 in value.
Hypothesis: Given the E2 BER rating, properties with similar energy efficiency in the local market may be overlooked by buyers prioritizing lower running costs, creating an opportunity for value uplift through targeted insulation and heating system improvements, especially if neighbours have higher BER ratings.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Castlefin itself has limited direct public transport links; the nearest significant bus services would likely require travel to Lifford or Strabane, which are approximately 8-10km away.
Local Services: Basic local amenities are available in Castlefin, likely including a post office and convenience stores; however, larger supermarkets and diverse retail options would necessitate travel to Lifford or Letterkenny.
Educational Facilities: Primary schools are available within Castlefin, such as Scoil Naomh Brid, but secondary education and higher education facilities would require commuting to larger towns like Letterkenny or Derry.
Hypothesis: The property's rural setting in Egglybane, Castlefin, suggests a reliance on private transport for accessing a wider range of amenities and employment, which could limit its appeal to buyers prioritizing walkability or public transport connectivity and influence its long-term capital appreciation potential compared to properties in more service-rich areas.
