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 Rating Concern: The property has a 'SI_666' BER rating, which is unclassified and likely indicates poor energy efficiency, potentially leading to higher running costs compared to properties with standard ratings.
Details
- Size Advantage: At 255m², this property is substantially larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within a 100km radius, offering ample living space.
- Upgrade Opportunity: The unclassified BER rating suggests potential for significant value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, which could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 to achieve a B2 rating and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
- Hypothesis: The 'SI_666' BER rating, while unclassified, presents a clear opportunity for value uplift. Investing in energy efficiency upgrades could not only reduce ongoing costs but also significantly improve market appeal and resale value in a market increasingly focused on sustainability.
Amenities
Rural Location Connectivity: The property is located outside Dublin, indicating limited direct access to major transport hubs like Luas or DART stations; travel to such services would likely involve driving to a nearby town.
Details
- Local Amenities Availability: While specific amenities are not detailed in the provided data, the location in Fethard, Co. Wexford, suggests it is in a rural setting, which typically offers a quieter lifestyle but requires car dependency for access to larger shopping centres, diverse dining, and specialised healthcare.
- Potential for Local Services: Based on typical rural Irish towns, one might expect a local primary school, a post office, a few local shops, and potentially a GP surgery within a few kilometres, catering to essential needs.
- Hypothesis: The property's rural location in Co. Wexford presents a trade-off: offering tranquility and potentially more space for the price, but demanding a higher reliance on private transport for accessing a wider range of services and employment opportunities, which could influence long-term desirability and value retention.
