Confidence Level
Sale prices in this area vary more than usual, so there is some uncertainty in the figures. Bid conservatively and in small increments.
Limited recent transaction volume reduces trend precision. Strategy remains anchored to closed-sale distribution.
PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the F BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a significant return on investment.
Details
- Space Inefficiency: With 9,508 bedrooms and 120m² size, the density of bedrooms per square meter is exceptionally high (approx. 79 bedrooms per m²), indicating a highly unusual and likely impractical configuration that deviates significantly from typical apartment layouts.
- Value Optimization Gap: The F BER rating suggests potential for substantial savings; an upgrade to a B2 rating could reduce annual energy costs from an estimated €2,200-€2,800 (for an F-rated property of this size) to €900-€1,300, a saving of €1,300-€1,500 annually.
- Hypothesis: The unprecedented number of bedrooms (9,508) for a 120m² apartment, combined with an F BER rating, strongly suggests that this property is not a standard residential unit but a unique, potentially commercial or institutional property that has been miscategorized as an apartment, leading to a severe misinterpretation of its true market value and appeal to typical residential buyers.
Amenities
Limited Direct Connectivity: As an 'outside Dublin' property, specific local transport links like Dublin Bus routes, Luas stops, or DART stations serving Whitesland, Rathbride Road are not detailed, suggesting reliance on private transport for accessing wider amenities.
Details
- Kildare Town Hub: Kildare Town offers essential amenities including Tesco Supermarket, Kildare Healthcare Centre, and St. Brigid's National School, providing a convenient local service base.
- Local Lifestyle Access: Within Kildare Town, residents can access restaurants like The Silken Thomas, cafes, and parks, contributing to a comfortable local quality of life.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Kildare Town, outside the immediate Dublin transport network but with access to local services and retail via Tesco and healthcare at Kildare Healthcare Centre, suggests it appeals to a demographic prioritizing a provincial lifestyle with some urban connectivity, rather than a daily commuter; this niche appeal, amplified by its unusual configuration, could limit its resale potential within the broader Dublin market but create strong demand from a specific buyer profile seeking multi-unit or specialized accommodation.
