Limited recent transaction volume reduces trend precision. Strategy remains anchored to closed-sale distribution.
PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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 Cost: Upgrading the SI_666 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Space Efficiency: With 6 bedrooms and 137m², the property offers approximately 22.8m² per bedroom, which is relatively small and may impact comfort for larger families.
Value Optimization: Given the SI_666 BER rating, focusing on insulation and heating upgrades first would offer the most significant return on investment for future value enhancement.
Hypothesis: The SI_666 BER rating, being exceptionally low, suggests significant potential for value uplift through targeted energy efficiency upgrades. An investment of €8,000-€12,000 could improve the BER to C1/B3, potentially unlocking a €20,000-€30,000 increase in market value and making it more competitive with properties offering better energy performance.
Amenities
Transport Links: Kilcar is served by Bus Éireann routes, notably the 480, providing connectivity to surrounding towns like Carrick and Glencolmcille, although no direct train or Luas services are available locally.
Local Facilities: The village offers essential amenities including Centra Kilcar for groceries, O'Donnell's Pub & Restaurant for dining, and local shops, contributing to a functional village lifestyle.
Educational Access: Primary education is available at Scoil Náisiúnta Cholmcille, with secondary options likely requiring travel to nearby larger towns such as Glenties or Ardara.
Hypothesis: The limited public transport options and the reliance on Bus Éireann routes to larger towns suggest that private vehicle ownership is almost essential for convenient access to wider amenities like hospitals or diverse retail centres, which could depress long-term rental yields and capital appreciation compared to areas with superior transport infrastructure.
