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 an E1 BER rating, upgrading to a C2 or B3 rating would cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 but could increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000, representing a substantial return on investment.
Details
- Compact Size Consideration: At 54m², this 2-bedroom end-of-terrace house is on the smaller side, especially compared to the median 3-4 bedrooms often seen in the wider market metrics (median 3 beds within 100km, median 4 beds within 10km), potentially limiting buyer appeal.
- Value Optimization Needed: The property's current E1 BER rating means higher potential energy costs (estimated €1,800-€2,200 annually) compared to a B-rated property (€800-€1,200), presenting an immediate opportunity for cost savings and value enhancement through energy upgrades.
- Hypothesis: Given the E1 BER rating and compact size, strategic investment in insulation, heating system upgrades, and potentially window replacements could transform this property from a higher-cost dwelling to a more desirable, energy-efficient home, significantly boosting its market appeal and potential sale price within the local context.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Raphoe's connectivity is primarily served by Bus Éireann routes, with no direct Luas, DART, or train stations within immediate reach; for instance, the nearest train station is likely Letterkenny, requiring additional transport.
Details
- Local Services Focus: The area offers essential local amenities such as shops, primary schools like St. Eunan's National School, and healthcare facilities such as the Raphoe Primary Care Centre, catering to everyday needs within a close radius.
- Walkability Potential: While Raphoe is a walkable town centre, extensive amenities like larger retail centres or a wider range of restaurants are typically found in larger towns like Letterkenny, approximately a 20-30 minute drive away.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Raphoe, while offering a more rural lifestyle, presents a connectivity challenge for those seeking direct access to major urban centres, suggesting that its value proposition relies more on local community integration and affordability rather than rapid commute times to larger employment hubs.
