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
High Upgrade Costs: The F BER rating suggests that significant investment is needed; upgrading to a C rating could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000.
Details
- Small Footprint Value Gap: At 30m², this property is substantially smaller than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms typically seen in comparable properties within a 5km radius, indicating a potential mismatch in size expectations.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades from the current F rating could transform this property, with an estimated €1,000-€1,500 annual saving compared to similar G-rated properties, representing a clear value-add opportunity.
- Hypothesis: Given the F BER rating and the small size, the property's current valuation may be inflated by the 'Dublin' model type, and a realistic price would require factoring in the substantial costs of necessary upgrades to meet modern energy and space standards prevalent in the wider Dublin market.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: While stated as 'Dublin', Ratoath, Co Meath, is not directly served by Luas or DART, with the nearest Dublin Bus routes being at a considerable distance and likely requiring onward travel.
Details
- Basic Local Services: Ratoath offers essential amenities like national schools and local shops, but lacks the comprehensive public transport, major healthcare, and diverse retail options typically found within a 5km radius of established Dublin suburbs.
- Low Walkability Score: The property's location in Ratoath, Co Meath, is unlikely to offer the high walkability to extensive amenities and public transport hubs that would be expected for a 'Dublin' located property, with most services requiring car access.
- Hypothesis: The property's inclusion under 'Dublin' likely inflates its perceived value due to proximity to the city, but the actual lack of direct public transport and fewer immediate amenities compared to typical Dublin locations means buyers may be overpaying for convenience that is not directly accessible.
