Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €615,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 3.0km. More local transactions are needed before the data can support a market position estimate.
Sources: PPR, SEAI, OPW, planning records.
Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 1 comparable transaction within 3.0km 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.
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
BER Upgrade Opportunity: With a D1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing property value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Generous Size: The property's 225m² size positions it comfortably within the '2X Very Large' category, offering ample living space compared to the 3-bedroom median for properties within a 100km radius.
- Configuration Mismatch: The property offers 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which is significantly above the 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom median within the 100km radius market, potentially making it over-specced for typical demand.
- Hypothesis: The current D1 BER rating represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, which could not only improve long-term cost savings but also align the property with evolving buyer expectations and potentially unlock a higher valuation ceiling compared to other D-rated properties in the area.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The property's rural location means it is not directly served by specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART services mentioned in typical urban transport data.
Details
- Local Educational Access: While specific schools aren't detailed, Collon itself has a primary school (Collon National School) and nearby secondary options like St. Michael's Loreto Secondary School in Dundalk (approx. 15km).
- Healthcare Proximity: Major healthcare facilities like Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda are approximately 20km away, with local pharmacies likely available in Collon village.
- Hypothesis: The 'outside Dublin' location, while offering potential for larger plots and more tranquil living, presents a significant challenge for buyers seeking convenient public transport, implying that private vehicle ownership is essential for accessing key amenities such as employment, healthcare, and retail hubs like Dundalk or Drogheda.
