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 Rating Impact: With an F BER rating, upgrading this property to a C2 rating could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 but potentially increase its market value by €18,000-€25,000, making it a worthwhile investment.
Details
- Size Efficiency: The 72m² size for this bungalow is relatively modest, and considering the median of 3 beds and 2 baths in the 100km radius market, it may not meet the expectations of families seeking larger homes, potentially limiting its appeal.
- Value Optimization Potential: Upgrading the BER from F to D would likely cost €4,000-€7,000 and could add €6,000-€10,000 in value, improving its appeal in a market where energy efficiency is increasingly valued.
- Hypothesis: Given the F BER rating, a strategic investment in insulation, window upgrades, and a more efficient heating system could see this property's energy costs reduce by €1,000-€1,500 annually compared to its current state, aligning it better with modern buyer expectations.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Donard village is served by Bus Éireann routes, but specific route numbers serving this immediate area are not detailed, and there are no nearby train stations or Luas/DART stops, suggesting reliance on private transport for wider connectivity.
Details
- Local Services Access: The property is located in Donard, which likely has basic local amenities such as a shop and post office, but specific names are not provided, and access to larger retail or specialized healthcare facilities would require travel.
- Rural Setting Amenities: While Donard is in Co. Wicklow, known for its natural beauty and outdoor pursuits, the provided data does not detail specific parks, restaurants, or cafes in the immediate vicinity of the former health centre.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links and proximity to major towns suggests that properties in Donard, like this former health centre, may appeal more to individuals seeking a rural lifestyle, with value being driven by tranquility and natural surroundings rather than convenience to urban amenities.
