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
Significant BER Upgrade Needed: With an 'F' BER rating, upgrading to a 'B2' would likely cost between €15,000-€20,000 but could increase the property's value by €25,000-€35,000.
Details
- Size Advantage: At 120.0m², this property is larger than the median 3-bedroom properties (implied by median_beds metric) typically found in the 100km radius market, which has a median of 3 bedrooms.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: The current 'F' BER rating translates to potentially higher annual energy costs of €2,000-€2,800 compared to an 'A' rated property, making immediate energy efficiency upgrades a clear path to cost savings and increased value.
- Hypothesis: The 'F' BER rating, combined with the high asking price, creates a significant opportunity for value enhancement. Buyers may see the investment in energy upgrades not just as a cost-saving measure but as a strategic move to align the property with current market expectations and reduce a substantial discount typically applied to lower-rated homes.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Glin is not directly served by major bus routes or rail lines, with the nearest significant public transport likely requiring travel to nearby towns, impacting commuter convenience.
Details
- Essential Local Services: While specific amenities are not detailed, the Main Street address suggests proximity to basic local services such as a post office, local shops, and potentially a pharmacy, which are common in village centres.
- Community Focus: The property's location in Glin, a village setting, likely offers a strong sense of community and access to local primary schools, but will require travel for broader retail, healthcare, and higher education facilities.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links and the rural setting of Glin suggest that this property is best suited for a buyer who prioritizes a quieter, community-focused lifestyle over urban connectivity, and who is prepared for car dependency for most amenities and services beyond the immediate village.
