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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €10,000-€15,000 but could potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000, offering a significant return on investment.
Details
- Size Efficiency: With 50m² and 2 bedrooms, this property offers a compact yet functional layout, which is typical for its size category, potentially appealing to first-time buyers or those seeking lower maintenance.
- Value Optimization: The property's asking price of €149,000 is higher than its estimated value of €131,961; addressing the D2 BER rating through energy upgrades could help justify the asking price and improve future saleability.
- Hypothesis: While the property's size is modest, strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades (e.g., insulation, heating system) could unlock significant capital growth potential, as the market increasingly values lower running costs, especially in properties with lower BER ratings.
