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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, with a potential increase in property value of €15,000-€20,000, representing a strong return on investment.
Energy Cost Projection: Current annual energy costs for a D2 rated property of this size are estimated between €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than an estimated €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property.
Space Efficiency: With 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 167m², the property offers a generous living space, averaging approximately 27.8m² per bedroom, which is a favorable configuration for larger families.
Hypothesis: Investing in a comprehensive BER upgrade from D2 to B-rated could unlock an additional 5-10% in sale value, particularly if similar-sized properties in the immediate vicinity (within 1km) achieve higher valuations due to better energy efficiency.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Craughwell is served by Bus Éireann route 434, connecting to Loughrea and Galway City, offering essential public transport links.
Local Educational Access: The property is situated near Scoil Naomh Bríd (Craughwell National School) and Presentation College Athenry, providing key educational facilities for families.
Retail and Healthcare: Local amenities include shops and pharmacies within Craughwell village, with larger supermarkets and healthcare facilities available in nearby towns like Loughrea or Galway City.
Hypothesis: The limited direct public transport options and reliance on neighbouring towns for major retail and healthcare services suggests that the property's appeal might be stronger to buyers who prioritize rural living and private transport, potentially impacting its long-term resale value.
