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
Moderate BER Efficiency: With a C2 BER rating, this property is moderately energy efficient; typical annual energy costs for a property of this size could range from €1,400-€1,800, compared to €1,000-€1,300 for B-rated properties.
Ample Living Space: The property offers 206m² of living space across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, providing a generous layout that aligns with family needs.
Upgrade Potential: Improving the BER rating from C2 to a B2 could cost an estimated €6,000-€10,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000.
Hypothesis: Despite the C2 BER, the inclusion of approximately 8.2 acres of land could significantly enhance its appeal and value proposition for buyers prioritizing space and potential for development or agricultural use, potentially offsetting lower energy efficiency concerns.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: As a property in Ballacolla, Co Laois, it is unlikely to be served by specific Dublin Bus routes, Luas, or DART stations; local transport would likely rely on regional bus services and private transport.
Rural Lifestyle Amenities: Ballacolla offers a rural lifestyle with local primary schools like Scoil Naomh Eoin and potentially nearby secondary schools in larger towns; specific shopping centres or large retail parks are unlikely to be within immediate walking distance.
Healthcare Access: Access to healthcare would likely involve travelling to a larger town such as Portlaoise for hospitals and more comprehensive clinics; local pharmacies may be available.
Hypothesis: The property's substantial acreage and rural setting suggest its primary appeal lies in its lifestyle offering rather than proximity to urban amenities, meaning the value proposition will heavily depend on the buyer's desire for space and tranquility over immediate access to services.
