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 Advantage: The B3 BER rating positions this property favorably, with estimated annual energy costs of €1,300-€1,700 compared to €2,000-€2,700 for a typical D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Configuration Mismatch: The property lists an unusual 5,004 bedrooms, which is a significant anomaly and does not align with standard residential property configurations, potentially impacting market appeal and valuation.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER is B3, an investment of €7,000-€10,000 to upgrade to B1 or A3 could potentially increase the property's value by €12,000-€18,000 and further reduce annual energy costs.
- Hypothesis: The unusual bedroom count of 5,004 is likely a data entry error, and assuming a standard number of bedrooms for a property of this size (e.g., 4-5), the B3 BER rating provides a solid baseline. However, the market may be undervaluing properties with this BER in a rural setting unless significant energy efficiency upgrades are visually apparent and marketed.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: The property's rural location in Ballinalee, Co. Longford, means it is not served by direct Luas, DART, or mainline train services, requiring significant travel to access these. Bus Éireann routes are the primary public transport option but specific route numbers serving this exact location are not provided.
Details
- Local Services Access: Nearby amenities include a local shop in Ballinalee, and potential access to schools like Scoil Naomh Treasa. Larger towns like Longford provide broader retail and healthcare access.
- Walkability Concerns: While rural, the immediate area around The Anchor may offer limited pedestrian infrastructure. Access to parks or extensive walking routes requires venturing out from the property, with specific local walking paths not detailed.
- Hypothesis: The property's location, while offering rural tranquility, presents a significant challenge for buyers prioritizing direct public transport access or extensive local walkability. Future value appreciation might be significantly influenced by any planned improvements to public transport links or the development of local community amenities that enhance connectivity and accessibility.
