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 Opportunity: With an E1 BER rating, upgrading to a C1 could cost an estimated €15,000 - €20,000, potentially increasing property value by €25,000 - €30,000 and reducing annual energy costs by €1,000-€1,500 compared to its current E1 rating.
Details
- Generous Size for Type: The 225m² terrace property is significantly larger than the median 3-bedroom property size typically seen in the market, offering substantial space.
- Configuration Mismatch: The property has 5 bedrooms but only 1 bathroom, which is a significant mismatch and could present a valuation challenge, as the median number of bathrooms within a 100km radius is 2.
- Hypothesis: The substantial size and high bedroom count, combined with a low bathroom count and E1 BER rating, indicate that this property is ripe for a renovation that prioritizes modern bathroom additions and energy efficiency upgrades to significantly boost its market appeal and value within the Oughterard area.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Oughterard has a bus service, but specific route numbers or direct links to major transport hubs like train stations (e.g., Galway Ceannt Station) or Luas/DART lines are not detailed, suggesting reliance on private transport for wider connectivity.
Details
- Local Shopping and Dining: The property's Main Street address suggests proximity to local shops, cafes, and restaurants within Oughterard village, enhancing day-to-day convenience.
- Educational Proximity: While specific school names aren't provided, a Main Street location in Oughterard typically implies access to primary and secondary schools within reasonable walking or short driving distances.
- Hypothesis: The property's location on Main Street, Oughterard, points to a strong village-centric lifestyle, suggesting that its value is more tied to local community amenities and scenic surroundings (like Connemara National Park, a short drive away) rather than extensive public transport networks or proximity to major urban centres.
