Limited Transaction Data
At €50,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 1.5km. More local transactions are needed before the data can support a market position estimate.
Sources: PPR, SEAI, OPW, planning records.
Bid Model Unavailable

We found 1 comparable transaction within 1.5km over the past 18 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this 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
BER Rating Advantage: The 'B' BER rating indicates good energy efficiency, positioning it favourably against properties with lower ratings within the 100km radius where BER is unknown for 100% of listings.
Details
- Configuration Mismatch: The property is listed as a 'Site' with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which is an unusual combination for a plot of land and suggests it may be a derelict dwelling or a site with planning for such, requiring further investigation into its buildability and intended use.
- Site Value Potential: As a 'Site' with a listed value of €283,821.38, the €50,000 asking price suggests significant potential for development, with the cost of development being the primary factor in realising this value.
- Hypothesis: The anomaly of a 'Site' having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, alongside a BER rating, strongly suggests this is a plot with existing planning permission or the remnants of a dwelling, and its 'value' of €283,821.38 is likely a model-driven estimate based on the potential dwelling, rather than the value of the land alone.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity (Limited Direct Data): While specific routes are not detailed for Kyle, Rathdowney, Co. Laois, its location outside Dublin suggests reliance on local bus services and potentially a significant drive to the nearest major transport hub.
Details
- Local Infrastructure (Inferred): Rathdowney typically offers essential local amenities such as primary schools (e.g., Scoil Mhuire), local shops, and healthcare services like Rathdowney Pharmacy and a local Health Centre, contributing to practical living.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The rural setting of Kyle, Rathdowney offers a quieter lifestyle, likely with access to local parks and green spaces characteristic of County Laois, appealing to those seeking a more tranquil environment.
- Hypothesis: Given the 'Site' designation and its location, the key amenities for future value will be related to local planning permissions and infrastructure development plans for the Rathdowney area, rather than existing transport and lifestyle facilities.
