We found 1 comparable transaction within 5.0km over the past 36 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this property.
This can happen for properties in lower-turnover areas or very specific property types. Check back as new transactions register on the Property Price Register, or search for a nearby comparable property.

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
Large Family Home: With 9 bedrooms and 294m² of space, this property offers significantly more accommodation than the median 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom properties recorded within 100km.
Details
- Good BER Rating: The B3 BER rating is strong, placing it above many older properties, and would likely result in annual energy costs roughly €1,000-€1,400 lower than a D-rated equivalent of similar size.
- Substantial Space for Investment: Upgrading the BER from B3 to B2 would require an estimated €4,000-€7,000 investment but could potentially increase property value by €8,000-€12,000, offering a modest return.
- Hypothesis: The property's expansive size and good BER rating offer a solid foundation, but a deep dive into specific insulation levels and heating system efficiency could reveal opportunities for further BER improvements, potentially unlocking additional value and reducing annual running costs by up to €500-€800 if upgraded to A-rated standards.
Amenities
Rural Connectivity: While specific local public transport routes are not detailed, Letterkenny town offers connections via Bus Éireann services, likely serving routes to major towns and cities.
Details
- Local Education Access: Letterkenny is home to esteemed institutions such as Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT) and numerous primary and secondary schools including Loreto Secondary School and Coláiste Ailigh.
- Proximity to Services: The property is situated near Letterkenny University Hospital, providing essential healthcare access, and local shopping facilities within Letterkenny town, including Letterkenny Shopping Centre.
- Hypothesis: The property's location outside the immediate town center, while offering potential for larger plots and tranquility, may necessitate a reliance on private transport for consistent access to Letterkenny's amenities, suggesting that a car is essential for maximizing the convenience and lifestyle benefits of this location.
