Limited Transaction Data
At €700,000, 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.

Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 1 comparable transaction within 3.0km over the past 24 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 Unknown Cost: With a BER rating of SI_666 (effectively unknown), significant investment will be required to obtain a rating, potentially costing €8,000-€12,000 for upgrades that could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, aligning with market expectations for energy efficiency.
Details
- Generous Space: The property boasts a substantial 246m² floor area, significantly larger than the median 3-bedroom properties in the 100km radius, offering ample living space that commands a premium in the current market.
- Configuration Mismatch: While the 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms are unique, they may not align with typical buyer preferences in the region, as the median property in the 100km radius has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, potentially impacting resale value and speed.
- Hypothesis: The significant deviation from the typical 3-bed/2-bath configuration in the wider market suggests this 8-bed property might appeal to a niche buyer, such as an investor for multiple lettings or a large multi-generational family, and its long-term value may be more sensitive to shifts in demand for oversized properties than smaller, more conventional homes.
