“Grand, bar a few jobs.”
Normal for its age. Budget for the work and you are fine. We could only check 3 of 6 sources for this address, so treat this as provisional.
01Price & 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 258 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 €850,000 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.
Change in the CSO Residential Property Price Index for South-East, to May 2026. A regional trend, not this exact home.

03Before you bid
Each finding is drawn from a named public dataset and checked at this property's exact location, not the estate or the town.
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.

04Energy & upgrade
Personalised to this property. Everything in this section is worked out from this home’s own BER of C, as published on its Building Energy Rating certificate, and its actual floor area of 258 m² — not an area average, and not a typical-home estimate.
This home is rated C. 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.
Indicative measures and costs to bring this 258 m² home to a B2 (green-mortgage) rating, using current SEAI grant amounts. Contractor-dependent — a guide for budgeting, not a quote.
| Measure | What it does | Cost | SEAI grant | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attic top-up insulation | Brings attic insulation up to current standard | €3,500 | −€1,500 | €2,000 |
| Heating controls | Zoning and timers cut waste (fully grant-funded) | €700 | −€700 | €0 |
| Solar PV panels | Generates your own electricity, cutting bills | €7,000 | −€1,800 | €5,200 |
| Total after grants | €11,200 | −€4,000 | €7,200 | |
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.

06Before you sign
18 items, 9 of them must-do, tailored to what we found here. Budget roughly €3.1k–€6.2k 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.
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.
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.
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.
