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 Upgrade Opportunity: With a D2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Energy Cost Gap: This D2 rated property's annual energy costs are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for a comparable B-rated property, a saving of €1,000 annually.
Space Efficiency: The 120m² size with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms offers a reasonable density for family living, but could be optimized with modern layouts.
Hypothesis: Investing in a BER upgrade from D2 to B2, costing approximately €10,000, could yield a return on investment of 50-100% through increased property value and annual energy savings of €1,000, making it a financially attractive proposition for a buyer.
Amenities
Remote Connectivity: As the property is located outside Dublin, specific detailed transport routes like Luas or DART are not directly applicable, and bus services are likely limited.
Rural Lifestyle Focus: The area is characterized by its natural beauty and coastal access, with local amenities likely being small village shops and community facilities rather than large retail centres.
Limited Local Infrastructure: Specific schools, hospitals, or major shopping centres are unlikely to be within immediate walking distance, necessitating car travel for most services.
Hypothesis: The value proposition of this property is heavily tied to its scenic rural location and associated lifestyle benefits, rather than proximity to urban amenities or extensive transport networks, suggesting its appeal will be to a niche market prioritizing tranquility and nature over convenience.
