PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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
Energy Efficiency: With a B BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, with estimated annual running costs of €1,400-€1,800 compared to €2,000-€2,600 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Compact Size: The listed size of 7.0m² is exceptionally small, which, combined with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, suggests an unusual configuration that may not align with typical buyer expectations for family homes.
Value Optimization: While the BER is good, the unusually small listed size (7.0m²) for a site with 2 beds/2 baths needs clarification; if accurate, it implies a significant premium for land or a very niche dwelling.
Hypothesis: The reported 7.0m² size for a site with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is highly anomalous and requires urgent verification, as it fundamentally impacts any valuation and suggests either a data error or a unique, micro-dwelling development that would appeal to a very specific buyer niche.
Amenities
Remote Connectivity: Beara Peninsula, Co. Cork, is not served by direct train stations, Luas, or DART stops; primary public transport would rely on Bus Éireann routes, such as the 236 which serves Castletownbere, requiring onward travel for wider connectivity.
Limited Local Services: While Castletownbere offers essential amenities like shops (e.g., SuperValu Castletownbere) and healthcare (e.g., Castletownbere Community Hospital), access to a wider range of educational facilities and diverse lifestyle amenities would necessitate significant travel.
Coastal Lifestyle: Foildarrig, Castletownbere, offers a distinct rural coastal lifestyle with access to walking routes along the Beara Way and proximity to natural beauty, but lacks the dense urban amenities found in larger towns or cities.
Hypothesis: The lack of immediate public transport links and the remoteness of Castletownbere, Co. Cork, mean that the property's value is heavily reliant on its intrinsic natural appeal and the buyer's desire for a secluded lifestyle, rather than proximity to urban conveniences or high-frequency transport networks.
