Our estimated real value

Asking price vs comparable homes Fair confidence
Priced higherAbout rightPriced lower
The asking price sits in line with our fair-value estimate.

Based on comparable homes on the market now — beds, size, BER, type and area. Our estimate for a home like this is around €1,118,000 (€1,006,000–€1,230,000). Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 45% 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.

Open around€976,000
Fair value€1,006,000–€1,230,000
Needs modernisation — the listing flags work to do, so our fair value sits lower. A low price here reflects the work, not a bargain — budget for the refurbishment on top. Based on wording in the agent's description.
Price per m²€5,682/m² here vs €5,892/m² typical across 8 comparable homes for sale in the wider area

Fair value blends our price model with the price per m² of 8 comparable homes for sale; the asking is 57% above its midpoint. Homes in Ireland often sell over asking in strong areas, so the top of the range is fair value, not a ceiling. A guide for your negotiation, not a valuation — the right bid also depends on how much you want it and what you can borrow.

What we found against this address

Each finding is drawn from a named public dataset and checked at this property's approximate location.

Worth knowing €13.5k–€43k

BER C2 — reasonable, short of the green-rate threshold

Comfortable enough, but under the B3 most lenders want for a green mortgage discount. The discount is modest (roughly 0.1–0.35 points) but the comfort gain is real.

Do this Ask what would get it to B3 and price that against the rate saving.

SEAI BER register · Net of SEAI grants. Gross before grants roughly €25k–€62k.

Worth knowing

Inside the National Broadband Plan intervention area

Commercial operators did not cover this address, so it depends on the State rollout. Where the build is complete the connection is free; where it is not, you are on whatever copper or satellite is available.

Do this Check the NBI rollout status for this Eircode before you bid, and ask the occupants what they actually get.

04Energy & upgrade

BER C2 — running costs and the upgrade to a green rating

Personalised to this property. Everything in this section is worked out from this home’s own BER of C2, as published on its Building Energy Rating certificate, and its actual floor area of 308 m² — not an area average, and not a typical-home estimate.

This home is rated C2. Comfortable enough, but under the B3 most lenders want for a green mortgage discount. The discount is modest (roughly 0.1–0.35 points) but the comfort gain is real.

Home energy upgrade — to a B2 (green-mortgage) rating

Indicative measures and costs to bring this 308 m² home to a B2 (green-mortgage) rating, using current SEAI grant amounts. Contractor-dependent — a guide for budgeting, not a quote.

3 items
  1. Commission a pre-purchase survey from a chartered building surveyormust · €500–€1.1k

    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.

  2. Get a SEAI Home Energy Assessment and a retrofit quoteshould · €180–€300

    Turns a vague "needs work" into a real number you can bid against.

  3. Ask whether the ground floor has been tested for pyrite (IS 398)should · €400–€900

    Relevant for homes built in the Leinster region during the 2000s boom.

Get your solicitor to

  1. Instruct a solicitor for title, planning and local authority searchesmust · €2.2k–€4.5k

    Confirms the seller owns what they are selling and that everything built has permission.

  2. Get Certificates of Compliance with planning and Building Regulations for any extension or attic conversionmust

    Unauthorised work can block your mortgage and becomes your problem the day you close.

  3. Check the Local Property Tax band is correctly declared and paid upmust

    An under-declared band follows the property to you, not the seller.

  4. Confirm the boundaries on the title map match what you were shownshould

    Boundary disputes are slow, expensive and surprisingly common.

Ask the seller or agent

  1. Ask for the BER certificate and the advisory report that goes with itmust

    The advisory report lists the specific upgrades recommended for this house.

  2. Ask why they are selling and how long they have owned itmust

    Free, and it tells you more about the property and your negotiating room than any document.

  3. Check the BER certificate has not expiredshould

    A BER lasts ten years. An expired cert will not support a green mortgage rate application.

  4. Ask whether the property has ever flooded, and about any insurance refusalsshould

    A seller need not volunteer problems, but must not misrepresent when asked. So ask, in writing, through your solicitor.

Do this on your viewing

  1. View a second time at a different time of daymust

    Traffic, noise, parking and light all change. Most buyers only ever see a house once.

  2. Look for Japanese knotweed in the garden and along boundariesshould

    It is a genuine mortgage blocker in Ireland, and treatment runs for several years.

  3. Run every tap, flush every toilet, open every windowshould

    Water pressure, drainage and rotten frames are expensive and easy to miss in a ten-minute viewing.

  4. Get into the attic and look under the stairsshould

    Insulation depth, damp and the age of the wiring are all visible where nobody looks.

  5. Do a radon test if you buy, or ask if one has been doneworth it · €30–€50

    Ireland is a European radon hotspot. Testing is cheap and remediation is usually straightforward.

Sort with your lender or broker

3 items
  1. Confirm your approval covers this specific property and pricemust · €150–€200

    Approval in principle is not a loan offer. The lender still has to value and approve this house.

  2. Budget for stamp duty and check what other costs land at closingmust

    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.

  3. Ask your broker what the rate would be at B3, and about the Home Energy Upgrade Loanworth it

    The green discount plus a low-rate upgrade loan can cover a good share of the work.
