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 Uncertainty: The BER rating is 'Pending,' meaning its energy efficiency is currently unknown, making it difficult to assess potential running costs or environmental impact.
Details
- Upgrade Potential: If the BER is found to be D, E, or F, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
- Space Configuration: With 120m² and 3 bedrooms, the property offers a reasonable living space, aligning with the median 3-bedroom configuration in the broader 100km market.
- Hypothesis: Given the 'Pending' BER, a proactive approach to securing an energy audit and identifying cost-effective upgrades could unlock significant value. For instance, achieving a B2 rating from a D could halve annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200, representing a €1,000 annual saving which, over a decade, amounts to a substantial return on a modest investment.
Amenities
Connectivity Limitation: Oughterard's location outside the immediate Dublin transport network means there are no Luas, DART, or direct Dublin Bus routes serving the immediate vicinity, necessitating reliance on local bus services like Bus Éireann routes connecting to Galway City.
Details
- Local Services: The area benefits from local amenities such as Oughterard National School and Scoil Fhursa, along with health services including Oughterard Medical Centre and local pharmacies.
- Recreational Access: Residents have access to lifestyle amenities like Connemara National Park, various cafes and restaurants in Oughterard village, and walking routes along Lough Corrib.
- Hypothesis: While lacking direct public transport links to Dublin, the property's appeal to buyers prioritizing a rural lifestyle and proximity to natural amenities like Lough Corrib and Connemara National Park will be strong, likely offsetting the longer commute times for those working outside the immediate region, particularly if supplemented by increasing remote work trends.
