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
Unknown BER Impact: The property has a BER rating of SI_666, which is categorised as Unknown, providing no information on energy efficiency and thus no quantifiable cost savings or premium.
Details
- Small Footprint Value: At 60.0m², this 2-bedroom detached property is relatively compact, and while the asking price is low, its size may limit its appeal to families requiring more space compared to the median of 3 bedrooms within 100km.
- Upgrade Potential: With an unknown BER rating, a significant investment in improving energy efficiency could be necessary. A hypothetical upgrade from a 'G' rating (worst case) to a 'C' rating could cost between €15,000-€25,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €20,000-€30,000 and reducing annual energy costs by €1,000-€1,500.
- Hypothesis: Given the 'Unknown' BER rating and the property's small size, it's plausible that this property is being marketed at a price that reflects its current condition and energy performance, with the expectation that a buyer will undertake renovations, creating an opportunity for value enhancement.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Ballydesmond, Co. Cork, is not served by specific bus routes like Dublin Bus or train stations such as Cork Kent. Travel typically requires private transport or infrequent local services.
Details
- Remote Healthcare Access: The nearest significant hospital would likely be Mallow General Hospital, approximately 30-40 minutes drive away, indicating limited immediate healthcare access for residents.
- Basic Local Services: Ballydesmond itself offers very limited shopping and retail options, with residents likely needing to travel to larger towns like Kanturk or Mallow for a wider range of supermarkets, shops, and amenities.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Ballydesmond, a rural area with limited public transport, healthcare, and retail facilities, suggests its primary appeal will be to those seeking a secluded lifestyle away from urban centres, with a potential lack of broad buyer interest due to the commuting and amenity challenges.
