Confidence Level
Sale prices in this area vary more than usual, so there is some uncertainty in the figures. Bid conservatively and in small increments.
Limited recent transaction volume reduces trend precision. Strategy remains anchored to closed-sale distribution.
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
BER C3 Efficiency: The C3 BER rating suggests a moderate level of energy efficiency, with potential annual energy cost savings of approximately €500-€1,000 compared to D-rated properties of similar size.
Details
- Unusual Bedroom Configuration: The property lists 5003 bedrooms for a 115m² bungalow, which is highly anomalous and likely indicates a data entry error, making a direct comparison of space efficiency difficult.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the C3 BER to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €7,000-€10,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a good return on investment.
- Hypothesis: The drastically oversized bedroom count relative to the property size suggests a potential for significant internal re-configuration or a misunderstanding of the property's layout, which could either unlock substantial value if efficiently repurposed or indicate significant functional limitations.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Portlaoise is served by Bus Éireann routes, connecting to Dublin City. The nearest train station is Portlaoise Train Station, offering regular services to Dublin Heuston.
Details
- Local Amenities: Residents have access to Portlaoise town centre, which includes shops such as Tesco, Dunnes Stores, and various local retailers, as well as amenities like the Dunamaise Arts Centre and Portlaoise General Hospital.
- Family & Lifestyle Options: The area offers educational facilities like Scoil Mhuire Primary School and Portlaoise College. Recreational spaces include Emo Court & Gardens within a short drive, and local parks.
- Hypothesis: Given Portlaoise's status as a county town with developing infrastructure, future investment in improved direct public transport links to Dublin, beyond current bus and train services, could significantly enhance commuter appeal and property values.
