Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 3 comparable transactions 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.
Price Distribution Analysis
3 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median of comparable sales. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed.
This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position.
Financial Exposure · 68% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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
High Upgrade Cost: With a BER F rating, significant investment is needed, estimated at €15,000-€25,000 for insulation, heating, and window upgrades to reach a C rating, potentially increasing property value by €20,000-€30,000.
Space Efficiency: The 120.0m² size with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom is relatively low for a detached property, suggesting a potential mismatch with typical family needs and potentially limiting resale appeal.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the BER from F to C would likely optimize value by at least €20,000, alongside addressing the property's 2-bedroom configuration which might be a constraint in a market where larger family homes are often in demand.
Hypothesis: Given the F BER rating, a strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades, potentially costing €15,000-€25,000, could not only improve comfort but also unlock an immediate increase in market value by €20,000-€30,000, making it a necessary first step before considering the property's two-bedroom configuration as a primary feature.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The absence of specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART mentions for Fehanagh, Lauragh suggests very poor public transport connectivity, likely requiring a car for most travel.
Rural Amenities: Specific educational facilities, healthcare access points like hospitals or pharmacies, major shopping centres, or dedicated family services are not detailed, indicating a reliance on driving to Kenmare or other larger towns for essential amenities.
Low Walkability: Without mention of specific walking routes or pedestrian infrastructure, the area appears to be car-dependent, with limited immediate access to local shops, cafes, or parks for casual pedestrian use.
Hypothesis: The lack of detailed public transport and local amenities suggests that properties in Fehanagh, Lauragh, are valued primarily for their rural setting and potential for privacy rather than convenience, implying that any future uplift in value would be heavily tied to significant local infrastructure development or improved transport links to hubs like Kenmare.
