Market Position
Limited Transaction Data
At €1,500,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 5.0km. 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 5.0km over the past 36 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 C1 Upgrade Potential: Improving the C1 BER rating could cost €10,000-€15,000 but might increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000, especially considering lower-rated properties nearby.
Generous Size: At 380m², the property offers ample living space, which is likely a positive factor in a market where larger homes are desirable, although specific local benchmarks for size are not provided.
Value Optimization Opportunity: With a C1 BER rating, proactive energy efficiency upgrades could yield annual savings of approximately €1,000-€1,500 compared to properties with D or E ratings, enhancing long-term value.
Hypothesis: The C1 BER rating, while not poor, represents a clear opportunity for value enhancement; properties with similar size and features but achieving a B-rating could command a further €30,000-€50,000 premium in this market.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: No specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations are listed as serving Dromore Old, Kenmare directly, suggesting a reliance on private transport.
Rural Setting Amenities: Access to amenities like specific schools, hospitals, or large shopping centers requires further investigation into Kenmare town's offerings, but the address implies a more secluded lifestyle.
Walkability Challenges: The 'Dromore Old' address indicates a rural or semi-rural location, likely limiting direct walkability to major amenities and requiring car travel for most services.
Hypothesis: Given the lack of specified public transport and the rural address, the value of Swan House is heavily tied to its immediate natural environment and the quality of its private facilities rather than local infrastructure, suggesting its appeal is to a niche market seeking seclusion over convenience.
