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: The F BER rating necessitates significant investment; upgrading to a C1 rating (improving energy efficiency by approximately 150 kWh/m²/year) could cost an estimated €12,000-€18,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €18,000-€25,000.
Suboptimal Energy Costs: An F-rated BER means annual energy costs are estimated to be €2,500-€3,500, which is €1,200-€1,700 higher than for a B-rated property of similar size in the local area.
Standard Size, Lower BER: At 120m², the bungalow is a standard size for the region, but its F BER rating significantly detracts from its overall quality and market appeal compared to better-rated properties.
Hypothesis: Investing in a comprehensive BER upgrade from F to B2 would represent a significant capital outlay of approximately €15,000-€20,000 but could yield an ROI of 10-15% through increased market value and reduced operational costs, making it a crucial consideration for long-term ownership.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations directly serving Thureeny, Whitegate, Derrygoolin, indicating a high reliance on private transportation.
Sparse Local Services: Specific schools, healthcare facilities, and retail outlets are not mentioned as being in close proximity, suggesting residents would need to travel significant distances for essential services.
Low Walkability: The rural location of Thureeny, Whitegate, Derrygoolin indicates limited walkability and pedestrian infrastructure, requiring car dependency for most daily needs.
Hypothesis: The absence of readily available public transport and a close cluster of essential amenities suggests that the property's appeal is limited to buyers prioritizing rural living and possessing private transport, which may constrain its resale market compared to properties with better connectivity.
