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 F Rating Cost: Upgrading this F-rated BER property to a B2 rating could cost between €15,000-€20,000, potentially increasing its value by €25,000-€35,000, representing a worthwhile investment.
Details
- Size Advantage: The property's 140m² size is substantial, positioning it as a 'Large' property category, which is larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and potentially more desirable in areas where space is valued.
- Configuration Mismatch: With 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this property exceeds the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found within a 100km radius, offering more space but potentially at a higher upkeep cost if not fully utilized.
- Hypothesis: Given the F BER rating, a comprehensive energy efficiency audit costing approximately €300-€500 would be prudent, identifying specific insulation, heating, and ventilation upgrades that could significantly reduce the estimated €2,500-€3,500 annual energy costs and boost the property's market appeal.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Killybegs, Co. Donegal, is not directly served by train stations or Luas/DART lines; the nearest significant transport hubs would require considerable travel, impacting direct commuter access to major urban centers.
Details
- Local Services Assessment: While specific nearby amenities like schools, shops, and healthcare facilities are not provided for Killybegs in the raw data, its location suggests access to essential services typical of a coastal town, likely including a primary school, local shops, and a local medical practice.
- Walkability Challenge: The 'Outside Dublin' classification and the property's address ('The Old Boathouse, Roshine Road') strongly imply that walkability to a wide range of amenities will be limited, likely requiring car travel for most daily needs.
- Hypothesis: The strategic location in Killybegs, a known fishing port and tourist destination, suggests that local amenities will likely cater to tourism and maritime activities, with potential for boutique shops and seafood restaurants, rather than high-street retail or extensive public transport networks typically found closer to larger towns or cities.
