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 Rating Concern: The SI_666 BER rating suggests significant potential for energy efficiency upgrades; moving from a 'SI' (assume equivalent to a low rating like E or F) to a B2 rating could cost €10,000-€15,000 but potentially increase property value by €20,000-€25,000, while reducing annual energy bills by an estimated €1,000-€1,500.
Details
- Size Efficiency: With 91.0m² and 2 bedrooms, the property's size and configuration appear modest, especially given its asking price, meaning a buyer might seek more space for value in this price bracket.
- Value Optimization: Investing €10,000-€15,000 in BER improvements could unlock a €20,000-€25,000 value uplift, making this a strategic financial move for a buyer seeking to maximize return.
- Hypothesis: The current BER rating represents a significant opportunity for a capital investment to improve long-term running costs and market appeal, potentially closing the valuation gap with higher-performing properties in the wider county if upgrades are implemented effectively.
Amenities
Transport Disconnect: As this property is located outside Dublin, specific bus routes, train stations, Luas or DART stops serving the immediate Masonbrook, Loughrea area are not provided in the raw data, indicating potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Services Assessment: Specific schools, hospitals, pharmacies, shops, and restaurants in Masonbrook, Loughrea are not detailed in the provided amenities analysis, limiting assessment of local convenience.
- Family and Childcare Gaps: Without specific names of childcare facilities or family services in the immediate vicinity of Masonbrook, Loughrea, a clear picture of its family-friendliness based on the data is unavailable.
- Hypothesis: The property's rural location in Loughrea, Co. Galway, with limited data on specific local amenities and transport connectivity, suggests that its value proposition will heavily depend on its proximity to Loughrea town centre and the amenities it offers, rather than broader regional connectivity.
