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: With an 'F' BER rating, upgrading to a 'B2' could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 74.0m², this 2-bedroom townhouse offers a functional but modest living space, which is comparable to the median 3-bedroom properties in the wider market but smaller in configuration.
- Value Optimization: The property's current 'F' BER rating may deter some buyers; investing in energy efficiency upgrades could unlock significant capital value and appeal to a broader market segment seeking lower running costs.
- Hypothesis: Given the prevalence of 'F' rated BERs in the wider market (100km_180d_ber_unknown_pct: 100.0, which implies many properties have similar or worse ratings), focusing solely on BER upgrades might offer less of a competitive advantage than it would in areas with a higher concentration of energy-efficient homes; however, it remains a critical factor for long-term value preservation and operational cost reduction.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: The Youghal area lacks direct access to major public transport networks such as specific Luas, DART, or frequent Dublin Bus routes; residents would likely rely on local bus services connecting to regional hubs.
Details
- Local Amenities within Reach: While specific details are unavailable, Youghal typically offers a range of local shops, primary schools like St. Mary's National School, and healthcare facilities, contributing to a functional local environment.
- Walkability Dependent on Services: Walkability in Youghal is generally good within the town itself for local amenities, but access to major employment centres or specialized services would likely require private transport or longer public transport journeys.
- Hypothesis: The absence of direct connections to national transport hubs (Luas, DART, major bus corridors) within the provided data suggests that the value of this property is more closely tied to the intrinsic desirability of Youghal as a place to live, rather than its connectivity as a commuter town to larger urban centres like Cork or Dublin.
