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
Potential Upgrade Costs: While the property has a BER B rating, this applies to the existing structure and not the ruins themselves; significant investment would be required to build new, potentially costing €1,500-€2,500 per m² for a new B-rated dwelling, translating to €9,000-€15,000 for the 6m² footprint, excluding the 6.12 acres.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Improving the BER rating of any new construction from B to A would incur additional costs of €5,000-€10,000 but could increase the final property value by €10,000-€20,000, representing a smart investment for long-term energy savings.
Site Suitability Analysis: The property is listed as a site with 6.0m² size, which is likely referring to existing ruin footprint; the 6.12 acres offers substantial land, but the small existing structure size may require full redevelopment, impacting perceived quality and value.
Hypothesis: The 'ruins' designation and minimal existing structure size (6.0m²) for a plot of 6.12 acres indicates that the 'BER B' rating is likely not applicable to the site for development and that a buyer will face the full cost of new construction, making the current estimated value of €161,930.59 potentially misleading without factoring in the extensive redevelopment costs.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Rathdangan, Co. Wicklow, is a rural area with no direct access to Luas stops, DART stations, or specific Dublin Bus routes; nearest public transport would likely require significant travel to larger towns.
Rural Lifestyle Amenities: Specific local amenities within Rathdangan are limited, with a focus on the natural landscape; closest comprehensive shopping and healthcare facilities would be found in larger towns like Baltinglass or Naas, requiring car access.
Childcare and Family Services: Access to specific childcare facilities and family services in Rathdangan itself is minimal, with families likely relying on services in neighbouring larger towns, impacting convenience for young families.
Hypothesis: The property's rural location in Rathdangan, Co. Wicklow, with limited direct public transport links (no specific Dublin Bus routes, Luas, or DART mentioned), suggests that residents will be heavily reliant on private vehicles for access to essential amenities such as schools, healthcare, and retail in towns like Baltinglass, significantly impacting commuter convenience and overall lifestyle appeal for non-car owners.
