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
Energy Upgrade Opportunity: The D1 BER rating suggests that upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and improving its marketability.
Size Efficiency: At 127.0m², the property offers a comfortable living space, aligning well with the typical size of properties that achieved a median sale price of €295,000 for the same broad type within 1km over 180 days.
Value Optimization: With a D1 BER, current annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,800-€2,200; targeted improvements could significantly reduce this, making the property more attractive and affordable to run long-term.
Hypothesis: Given the D1 BER rating, investing in a comprehensive insulation and heating system upgrade, costing an estimated €8,000-€12,000, would not only reduce annual energy bills by an estimated €1,000-€1,400 but also position the property to attract a premium of 5-10% over comparable un-upgraded homes in a tightening market.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The property's rural location in Rathgowan, Co. Westmeath, suggests limited direct access to major public transport hubs such as Luas stops or DART stations; closest train stations would likely require significant travel.
Local Services Access: Proximity to facilities like Mullingar town (approx. 8-10km) would provide access to supermarkets (e.g., Tesco, Dunnes Stores), secondary schools (e.g., Coláiste Mhuire), and healthcare facilities (e.g., St. James' Hospital Mullingar).
Lifestyle Considerations: While specific local amenities are not detailed, the location outside Dublin implies a reliance on car ownership for accessing a wider range of restaurants, cafes, parks, and gyms, likely found in nearby towns like Mullingar or Athlone.
Hypothesis: The property's location, being 'Outside Dublin,' implies a reliance on car transport, meaning that while local amenities might be basic, its value will be heavily influenced by the quality of road networks connecting to larger centres like Mullingar, affecting its appeal to a broader buyer demographic.
