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 G Upgrade Potential: Upgrading from a G BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €10,000 - €15,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €20,000 - €25,000, representing a significant return on investment.
Cost of Inefficiency: With a G BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be €2,000 - €2,500, compared to €900 - €1,300 for a B2-rated property of similar size, equating to an annual saving of €1,100 - €1,200 by improving the rating.
Spacious Configuration: The property offers a generous 139m² of living space across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which is a favourable configuration for family living and can command a premium in many markets.
Hypothesis: Investing in a comprehensive energy efficiency upgrade from G to at least a C rating could cost between €6,000-€9,000 and unlock an additional €10,000-€15,000 in market value, given the likely prevalence of lower BER ratings in the immediate locality which would make a well-insulated property stand out.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: Ballyhale is not directly served by any specific bus routes like Dublin Bus 25, 66, 67, nor is it near Luas or DART stations, suggesting reliance on private transport for most travel.
Local Education Options: The area is likely served by local primary schools such as Ballyhale National School and secondary schools within a reasonable driving distance, catering to basic educational needs.
Essential Local Services: While specific pharmacies and supermarkets are not detailed, the Main Street address suggests proximity to essential local amenities that support daily living in a rural setting.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport links and major retail hubs indicates that the appeal of Ballyhale as a residential location is primarily driven by its rural character and potential for lower property prices compared to more connected areas, rather than its amenity-rich environment for commuters or frequent shoppers.

Floor area data comes from the SEAI BER register. Flood exposure is cross-referenced against OPW flood extent mapping (CFRAM fluvial + NCFHM coastal) and historical flood events. Planning activity is sourced from the National Planning Application Database via MyPlan.ie — merged Local Authority planning registers from the Department of Housing.
