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 D2 BER rating to a C1 would likely cost €6,000-€9,000 and could potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, representing a sound investment for future resale value.
Details
- Size Efficiency: At 75.0m², the property offers a compact living space with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which aligns with the median of 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms found in the 100km radius market data.
- Value Optimization: With a BER rating of D2, this property's estimated annual energy costs are likely to be in the range of €1,800-€2,200, whereas properties with a B2 rating of similar size could achieve annual costs of €800-€1,200, representing a potential annual saving of €1,000.
- Hypothesis: The current D2 BER rating, while below the market median of D for the wider area, presents a clear opportunity for value enhancement; targeted insulation and heating upgrades, costing an estimated €5,000-€8,000, could elevate the BER to a C rating and add €10,000-€13,000 to the property's market value.
Amenities
Limited Connectivity: The area around Fohenagh, Caltra, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, H53WF74, lacks direct listings for bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops within immediate proximity, suggesting reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Details
- Local Services Scarce: Specific details on local schools, healthcare facilities, shopping centres, or family services for Fohenagh, Caltra, are not provided in the raw data, indicating a potentially limited immediate amenity offering.
- Low Walkability: Given the rural location of Fohenagh, Caltra, walkability is likely to be minimal, with no specific pedestrian infrastructure or walking routes identified in the provided data.
- Hypothesis: The lack of immediate public transport and limited documented local amenities suggests that the value of properties in this specific micro-location is heavily reliant on private transportation and a preference for rural living, potentially creating a niche market less affected by urban infrastructure trends.
