PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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 a BER rating of 0, indicating extremely low energy efficiency (typical of a G rating), this property presents a substantial renovation opportunity. Upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €15,000-€25,000 but has the potential to increase the property's value by €25,000-€40,000 and significantly reduce annual energy costs by €2,000-€3,000.
Details
- Compact and Functional Layout: At 84m², this detached property offers a compact yet practical living space, suitable for a 1-bathroom setup and a typical 3-bedroom configuration, aligning with the median bedroom count in the 5km area.
- Investment in Modernisation: The current asking price and low energy efficiency imply a property that could benefit significantly from modernisation. Investing in a comprehensive upgrade, including insulation, heating systems, and modern finishes, would not only enhance living comfort but also unlock substantial equity and market appeal.
- Hypothesis: A full energy efficiency and cosmetic renovation of this property could transform it from a low-value asset into a highly desirable and marketable home, potentially achieving a sale price closer to or exceeding the €250,000-€300,000 range in the current market, given its detached nature and improved efficiency.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Access: The available data indicates no public transport facilities within 0km of the property, suggesting a strong reliance on private vehicle for commuting and travel, characteristic of its rural Co. Leitrim location.
Details
- Absence of Immediate Local Facilities: The property's immediate vicinity (within 2km) shows no schools, shops, restaurants, or medical facilities, highlighting that daily necessities and services would require travel further afield by car.
- Car-Dependent Lifestyle: With a walkability score of 0/100 and no identified local amenities within walking distance, the property is situated in an area that necessitates a car-dependent lifestyle for all essential errands and leisure activities.
- Hypothesis: The current lack of proximate amenities positions this property as ideal for buyers prioritising seclusion, rural charm, and a lower price point over immediate access to services. Any future local infrastructure development, however minor, could significantly enhance its appeal and value.
