Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €395,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 3.0km. More local transactions are needed before the data can support a market position estimate.
Sources: PPR, SEAI, OPW, planning records.
Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 1 comparable transaction within 3.0km over the past 18 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this property.
This can happen for properties in lower-turnover areas or very specific property types. Check back as new transactions register on the Property Price Register, or search for a nearby comparable property.

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 Pending Cost: With a BER rating of 'Pending', potential buyers should budget for an energy audit and any necessary upgrades, as a D-rated property could incur annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Size Advantage: The 148.0m² size is substantial for a 3-bedroom house, offering good space efficiency and potentially commanding a premium over smaller properties in the area.
Value Optimization: Given the BER is pending, investing in insulation and heating upgrades could cost €8,000-€12,000 to achieve a B2 rating, potentially increasing property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Hypothesis: The 'BER Pending' status is a critical factor; a future low rating (E or F) could significantly reduce the property's appeal and require substantial investment to meet modern energy efficiency standards, potentially decreasing its market value by €25,000-€35,000 if not addressed proactively.
Amenities
Limited Transport: Carrick, Co. Donegal, is served by limited public transport; typically, Bus Éireann routes would be the primary option, but specific route numbers and frequencies require local verification, and train or Luas access is non-existent in this rural setting.
Rural Services: Access to healthcare, shopping, and educational facilities will likely be at least 15-30 minutes away by car, requiring travel to larger towns like Carrick or Dungloe for specific services such as pharmacies or supermarkets.
Walkability Challenge: The property's rural location in South Straleel implies limited walkability to amenities, with pedestrian access likely restricted to local roads and potentially requiring a car for most daily needs.
Hypothesis: The significant reliance on private transport for accessing essential services, education (no specific schools named in vicinity), and employment in this rural Donegal location will be a primary determinant of future property value, potentially creating a price ceiling compared to more amenity-rich areas.
