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 Potential: With a BER rating of SI_666 (Unknown), upgrading from an assumed poor rating to a B2 could cost €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase the property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Large Unit Size: The 120m² size is substantial for an apartment and offers ample living space, which is a positive attribute compared to smaller units.
- Configuration Mismatch: While the property boasts 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the market data within 100km shows a median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, suggesting this configuration might be over-specced for the typical buyer in this wider region, potentially impacting its appeal and resale value.
- Hypothesis: The absence of BER ratings in 100% of market data within 100km and 20km suggests a general lack of focus on energy efficiency in this market. This could mean that properties with improved BER ratings would command a significant premium not yet reflected in current market metrics, offering a substantial return on investment for proactive sellers.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: Portarlington is served by Irish Rail, with the Portarlington train station offering direct services to Dublin Heuston, but there are no direct Luas or DART lines mentioned, nor specific Dublin Bus routes in the provided data.
Details
- Local Service Access: The property is located on Main Street, Portarlington, which likely offers proximity to local shops, pharmacies, and primary healthcare facilities, contributing to convenience for daily needs.
- Commuter Potential: The presence of a train station in Portarlington provides a direct rail link to Dublin, making it a viable option for commuters, with train travel time typically around 1 hour to Dublin.
- Hypothesis: The presence of a train station in Portarlington indicates a strong commuter belt potential, yet the absence of Luas/DART and specific Dublin Bus routes in the data suggests that while connectivity to Dublin exists, the 'last mile' solution or intra-county public transport options are less developed, potentially limiting the appeal for non-car owners and those seeking seamless urban transit.
