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
Significant BER Upgrade Cost: Upgrading the E2 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €12,000-€18,000 and could potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000.
Sub-Optimal Energy Efficiency: With an E2 BER, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size, resulting in an annual saving potential of €1,000-€1,400.
Size Efficiency: The property offers 120m² across 3 bedrooms, providing a reasonable 40m² per bedroom, which is generally considered efficient for family living.
Hypothesis: The E2 BER rating significantly hinders the property's market appeal and long-term cost-effectiveness, suggesting that a proactive buyer willing to invest in substantial insulation and heating upgrades could unlock considerable value and achieve a stronger resale position against competitors with better energy ratings.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: Turbot Island's remote location offers no direct access to specific bus routes like Dublin Bus routes 25, 66, 67, or Luas/DART stations, necessitating reliance on private transport for most amenities.
Remote Shopping and Services: Access to specific shops, supermarkets, or shopping centers requires travel, with the nearest significant retail options likely in Clifden town, which would involve a journey.
Rural Lifestyle Focus: The area is characterized by natural beauty and coastal access, offering lifestyle amenities such as scenic walks and potential for water-based activities, but lacking readily available parks, gyms, or specific cafes within easy walking distance.
Hypothesis: The property's isolation on Turbot Island, while offering tranquility, presents a significant amenity deficit in terms of direct public transport and immediate access to essential services, suggesting that its value proposition is heavily weighted towards lifestyle and seclusion rather than convenience and connectivity.
