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 Improvement Needed: The current 'F' BER rating suggests substantial energy efficiency upgrades are required; upgrading to a 'C' rated BER could cost an estimated €15,000-€25,000 and potentially increase property value by €20,000-€30,000.
Details
- Spacious Living Area: With a size of 120m², the property offers a generous living space, comparing favorably to the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the wider 100km market, but the 'F' BER impacts its modern appeal.
- Configuration Mismatch: The property features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, a configuration that is more luxurious than the typical 3-bed, 2-bath median in the 100km radius, however, the poor BER rating detracts from its overall quality and marketability.
- Hypothesis: The 'F' BER rating, a significant detractor, presents a substantial opportunity for value enhancement. Targeted insulation, window upgrades, and a modern heating system could elevate the BER to a 'B' rating, potentially adding €40,000-€60,000 in value and reducing annual energy costs by €1,500-€2,000 compared to its current rating, making it a key investment for future owners.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The property's location does not appear to be directly served by specific Dublin Bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations mentioned in the provided data, suggesting a reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Details
- Local Service Gaps: Specific schools, healthcare facilities, shopping centres, and lifestyle amenities for Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny, are not detailed in the provided data, making it difficult to assess local convenience and quality of life.
- Walkability Uncertainty: Without specific details on local walking routes, pedestrian infrastructure, or nearby parks and public spaces, the walkability and general lifestyle appeal of the immediate area cannot be accurately determined from the provided metrics.
- Hypothesis: The absence of specific transport and amenity data within the provided metrics for Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny, suggests that this area may be more rural or less developed in terms of public services compared to areas with readily available transport routes and listed facilities, potentially appealing to buyers prioritizing tranquility over urban convenience but facing a disadvantage for commuters and those seeking immediate access to a wide range of amenities.
