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 C1 Efficiency: The C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrades to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Generous Space: At 121m², this townhouse offers a substantial living area, larger than the median 3-bedroom properties often seen in the 100km market, providing ample room for families.
- Upgrade Potential: While currently C1, targeting a B2 BER rating through insulation and heating upgrades could reduce annual energy costs by an estimated €500-€1,000 compared to D-rated properties of similar size, enhancing its long-term value.
- Hypothesis: The 4-bedroom configuration of this townhouse, combined with its C1 BER rating, positions it well in a market where larger family homes are in demand, especially if the local area offers good schools. However, the gap between its C1 rating and the higher-rated properties (where available data shows BER unknown) within the wider market suggests an opportunity for value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency improvements, potentially attracting a premium from buyers prioritizing lower running costs.
