Compiled independently from public records, cross-referenced against the original sale listing. We have no part in the sale of this property. This is an automated summary of public data and a computer-vision reading of the exterior — not a valuation or a survey.
“A fair bit of work in it.”
Real money needed. Factor it into what you offer. We could only check 4 of 6 sources for this address, so treat this as provisional.
01The exterior
An automated reading of Google Street View and satellite imagery at this address. It sees only the outside, and it is a machine's view — treat it as a prompt for your surveyor, not a substitute.
This property is a traditional, single-storey terraced cottage located in a convenient central urban setting. It offers excellent proximity to local town amenities, making it attractive for buyers seeking low-maintenance living or downsizing. However, its footprint is compact with limited outdoor space and no off-street parking.
02Price & comparables
Built from recent sold prices on the Property Price Register (last 12 months, index-adjusted to today) and comparable homes currently for sale, compared on a € per m² basis for this home's 78 m². An estimate, not a formal valuation.
We don't have enough comparable sales on this street or nearby to value this home independently, so this range is a wide sanity-check centred on the €475,000 asking price — not confirmed against the market. Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 34% of the time.
This compares the asking price only. It cannot see condition, interior, garden or aspect — a home priced low may need work. Use it to shortlist, not to decide. Our price model is typically within ~18%, so treat the range, not the midpoint, as the signal. Comparable data here is limited, so this is indicative.

05Energy & upgrade
Personalised to this property. Everything in this section is worked out from this home’s own BER of F, as published on its Building Energy Rating certificate, and its actual floor area of 78 m² — not an area average, and not a typical-home estimate.
This home is rated F. High heating bills and a deep retrofit needed to reach a modern standard. Also below the B3 threshold that AIB, Bank of Ireland, PTSB and Haven use for green mortgage rates.
Indicative measures and costs to bring this 78 m² home to a B2 (green-mortgage) rating, using current SEAI grant amounts. Contractor-dependent — a guide for budgeting, not a quote.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attic insulation | Cuts heat loss through the roof — the biggest quick win | €1,700 | −€1,500 | €200 |
| External wall insulation | Wraps solid walls in insulation — the largest fabric gain | €16,650 | −€8,000 | €8,650 |
| Air-to-water heat pump | Replaces the fossil boiler with efficient electric heat | €13,500 | −€6,500 | €7,000 |
| Heating controls | Zoning and timers cut waste (fully grant-funded) | €700 | −€700 | €0 |
| New windows & doors | Modern glazing reduces draughts and heat loss | €7,400 | — | €7,400 |

| Total after grants | €46,950 | −€18,500 | €28,450 | |
Reaching a B2 rating unlocks green-mortgage rates (roughly 0.2–0.5% lower) and lifts resale value. SEAI grants shown at current rates; costs vary by contractor and a technical survey. You can apply through SEAI's One Stop Shop scheme.

More than 500 applications sit within a kilometre — our search stops counting there. The register goes back decades, so it shows how actively the area has been built on rather than only what is coming.
08Before you sign
21 items, 10 of them must-do, tailored to what we found here. Budget roughly €3.5k–€7.0k for the paid ones.
The most important spend before you sign, and the only thing that examines the actual fabric of the building. Nothing in an online report replaces it.
Turns a vague "needs work" into a real number you can bid against.
Relevant for homes built in the Leinster region during the 2000s boom.
Confirms the seller owns what they are selling and that everything built has permission.
Unauthorised work can block your mortgage and becomes your problem the day you close.
An under-declared band follows the property to you, not the seller.
What gets built next door affects both how you live there and what you sell it for.
Boundary disputes are slow, expensive and surprisingly common.
The advisory report lists the specific upgrades recommended for this house.
Free, and it tells you more about the property and your negotiating room than any document.
A BER lasts ten years. An expired cert will not support a green mortgage rate application.
A seller need not volunteer problems, but must not misrepresent when asked. So ask, in writing, through your solicitor.
Worth €50,000 if vacant two years or more, or €70,000 if derelict. The property must have been built before 2008 and become your home or a rental. Apply through the local authority vacant homes officer, and note grants are paid in arrears so you fund the work first.
Traffic, noise, parking and light all change. Most buyers only ever see a house once.
It is a genuine mortgage blocker in Ireland, and treatment runs for several years.
Water pressure, drainage and rotten frames are expensive and easy to miss in a ten-minute viewing.
Insulation depth, damp and the age of the wiring are all visible where nobody looks.
Ireland is a European radon hotspot. Testing is cheap and remediation is usually straightforward.
Approval in principle is not a loan offer. The lender still has to value and approve this house.
Stamp duty is 1% up to €1m, 2% between €1m and €1.5m, and 6% above that. It is the largest cost buyers forget, and on a new build it is charged on the price excluding VAT.
The green discount plus a low-rate upgrade loan can cover a good share of the work.
