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 Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €9,000-€13,000 and is projected to increase the property's value by €18,000-€24,000.
Spacious Living: With 116.0m², the property offers ample living space, aligning with the 'Large' size category and fitting the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom configuration well.
Costly Energy Inefficiency: The D2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs of approximately €1,900-€2,400, which is about €1,000-€1,500 higher than comparable D2 properties with improved insulation or heating systems.
Hypothesis: The current D2 BER rating, while common, represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement through targeted insulation and heating upgrades; properties achieving B-ratings within a 10km radius have historically sold for an average of 10-15% more than comparable D-rated homes.
Amenities
Limited Local Connectivity: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations listed as serving Fohenagh directly within the provided data, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Sparse Local Services: The absence of specific named schools, healthcare facilities, or retail outlets in the provided amenities data suggests that residents would likely need to travel significant distances for essential services.
Low Local Activity: Data shows 0 sales within a 5km radius for seasonal months (March-September), indicating extremely low property turnover and limited local amenities usage in the immediate vicinity.
Hypothesis: The lack of specified public transport and essential services within the immediate vicinity suggests that property values in Fohenagh are heavily influenced by rural lifestyle appeal and proximity to larger towns like Ballinasloe, rather than local infrastructure, meaning connectivity to larger hubs is a primary driver of demand.
