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
BER Rating Advantage: The B BER rating indicates good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of approximately €900-€1,300, compared to €1,800-€2,500 for an average D-rated property of similar size.
Size Discrepancy: The property is listed as 1.0m² with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a configuration that is highly unusual and suggests a potential data error where the size is not reflective of a habitable dwelling.
Potential Value Add: If this is indeed a 'site' intended for development, a B BER rating on a proposed structure would be a positive selling point, potentially increasing a future build's market value by €15,000-€25,000 over a lower-rated build.
Hypothesis: Given the 'site' designation and the peculiar 1m² size with 2 beds/2 baths, it's probable that this listing represents a plot of land with planning permission for a 2-bed, 2-bath dwelling, rather than an existing structure. The BER B rating may refer to the planned specification, making the underlying land value the primary driver of its market position.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: As Knocklaide, Timahoe, Co. Laois is a rural location, direct access to specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops is not readily available within a close radius, necessitating private transport for most journeys.
Local Services Gap: Specific details on schools like Timahoe National School or healthcare facilities like the Portlaoise Hospital (approx. 15km drive) would require a longer commute, indicating a lower provision of immediate daily amenities.
Lifestyle Amenities: While Timahoe village offers some local services, more extensive shopping, dining (e.g., restaurants in Portlaoise), and leisure facilities are likely located in larger towns like Portlaoise.
Hypothesis: The value proposition of this property is likely tied to its potential for development in a rural setting, rather than its proximity to established urban amenities; a buyer would prioritize seclusion and the opportunity to build over immediate access to transport, schools, or retail.
