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 C1 Energy Efficiency: The C1 BER rating indicates moderate energy efficiency, with potential annual energy cost savings of €800-€1,200 compared to a D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Size Efficiency: At 120m², the property's size is comparable to the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within the 10km radius market (4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms median), suggesting a reasonable fit.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the C1 BER to a B2 rating, estimated to cost €8,000-€12,000, could potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, presenting a clear investment opportunity.
- Hypothesis: While the C1 BER is acceptable, the lack of a BER rating for 100% of properties within 100km suggests a market where BER is not a primary driver of value, meaning a significant investment in energy upgrades might not yield a proportional increase in resale value, despite potential operational savings.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: The absence of specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops listed for Finnod, Easkey, Rathlee indicates poor direct public transport connectivity, likely requiring significant travel for public transit.
Details
- Sparse Local Services: With only 2 nearby properties listed within 5km and a total of 14 within 10km, the immediate area likely lacks a high density of shops, restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities.
- Remote Location Impact: The property's rural location means walkability is likely limited to natural surroundings, with essential amenities such as supermarkets and healthcare facilities probably requiring car travel of over 10-15km.
- Hypothesis: The significant distance from any listed public transport hubs and the low density of nearby properties suggest that this location is primarily suited for those seeking seclusion, and its value will be heavily reliant on the appeal of the natural environment rather than proximity to urban amenities or employment centres.
