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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a good return on investment.
Details
- Substantial Space: With 120m² of living space, this bungalow offers a generous footprint, exceeding the median size for properties in the broader 100km radius.
- Limited Bedrooms: The single bedroom configuration may limit its appeal in a market where the median for the 100km radius is 3 bedrooms.
- Hypothesis: Given the D2 BER rating and the typical market preference for more bedrooms, the property's single bedroom and energy efficiency could be significant detriments; however, strategic investment in insulation and renewable energy sources could transform its appeal and unlock considerable value appreciation, making it an attractive prospect for renovators.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: While the property is located in Co. Cork, the raw data does not specify direct bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations serving Maglin, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Services Nearby: Based on typical Cork suburban areas, one can anticipate proximity to local primary schools such as Scoil Naomh Eoin and secondary schools like Gaelcholaiste Mhuire AG, along with essential services like pharmacies and local GP clinics.
- Shopping and Recreation: Proximity to areas like Ballincollig would offer access to shopping centres like the Ballincollig Shopping Centre, with various retail outlets and supermarkets, alongside recreational facilities such as the Ballincollig Regional Park.
- Hypothesis: The absence of specific transport links in the provided data suggests that Maglin's appeal is likely tied to a more rural or suburban lifestyle, potentially benefiting from developing local infrastructure over time if planning permits new transport links or residential developments, which could enhance its value proposition for those seeking quieter living with access to essential services.
