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 Upgrade Opportunity: With a D1 BER rating, upgrading to a C1 or B2 would cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, with an estimated annual saving of €1,000-€1,400 on energy costs compared to its current rating.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 64m², the property offers a functional 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, but space efficiency for a family of three or more could be a consideration.
- Value Optimization Potential: Improving the D1 BER rating to a B2 would not only reduce annual energy costs by an estimated €1,000-€1,400 compared to the current rating but also enhance market appeal and resale value.
- Hypothesis: The current D1 BER rating, common in properties of this age, presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in a targeted BER upgrade could yield a higher return on investment than general market appreciation due to the growing demand for energy-efficient homes.
