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 Upgrade Potential: With an E2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a tangible return on investment.
Details
- Size Efficiency: At 66.0m², this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow is compact; a similar property size within a 10km radius typically has 3.5 bedrooms, suggesting a potential mismatch with local buyer preferences for larger families.
- BER Impact on Value: The E2 BER rating places this property below the standard of many properties in areas with higher BER ratings, potentially impacting its long-term resale value and desirability compared to more energy-efficient homes.
- Hypothesis: The E2 BER rating and the property's modest size, combined with a high asking price relative to its estimated value, suggest that the primary drivers of value in this specific rural location are land size and unique features rather than energy efficiency or modern configurations.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas or DART stations mentioned as serving Kilraine Upper, Glenties directly in the provided data, suggesting significant reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Details
- Local Amenities: The provided data lacks specific details on schools, healthcare facilities, shopping, or lifestyle amenities within a practical radius of Kilraine Upper, Glenties, making it difficult to assess local convenience.
- Rural Connectivity Challenge: With no specific transport links identified, residents would likely need to travel to larger towns like Letterkenny (approx. 40km away) for comprehensive shopping, education, and healthcare services, impacting daily convenience.
- Hypothesis: Given the lack of detailed local amenities and public transport in the raw data for Kilraine Upper, Glenties, it is likely that the property's value is primarily driven by its rural setting, potential for privacy, and larger land parcel, rather than its proximity to services or commuter links.
