4 Spencer Place, Ballybough, Dublin 3, D03 X651
Sale agreed · 19 September 2026
Bungalow · 1 bed · 1 bath · BER EXEMPT
Sale agreed on 19 September 2026. The price shown is the last asking price and the report stays as a record; a sale agreed can still fall through, so it may return to the market.
A fair bit of work in it.
A 1-bed bungalow in Dublin 3. Asking €180,000. We can't place that against comparable sales with confidence, so treat the price as unverified. The main thing to check is inside a high flood-risk zone.

Is 4 Spencer Place worth the asking price?
We can't place this price with confidence.
Asking €180,000. There aren't enough comparable sales near here for our model to stand over a range, so we don't show one. Use the sold prices below and your own surveyor's view instead.
No floor area on record for this home, so we can't compare it per square metre.
No comparable sales within 8 km in the last two years. Too few to stand over a range, so we don't show one.
Price trend, Dublin
Change in the CSO Residential Property Price Index for Dublin, to May 2026. A regional trend, not this exact house.
What it costs a month
About €780 a month on a 90% mortgage over 30 years at a typical current rate, plus property tax. Work it out for your own deposit.
How we estimate
We take recent sold prices from the Property Price Register, adjust each to today's money with the CSO price index, and weight them by how close and how recent they are. We blend that with a model trained on 5,000 matched sales that knows how price moves with floor area, bedrooms, BER, type and area, and we correct for condition read. Our estimate is the blend; the range is where 80% of homes like this actually sold.
Tested on sales the model had never seen: half land within 8% of the sale price, four in five within 20%. It never sees the survey. An estimate, not a valuation.
What's the house like?
This end-of-terrace, two-storey period property sits on a compact footprint at the corner of Spencer Place. Located in a high-density urban neighborhood, it presents a traditional urban layout ideal for modern interior reconfiguration. While space is constrained, its position offers strong location value for central living. Fair external condition overall. The pebble-dash render appears intact on upper levels but should be inspected at ground line for moisture ingress.
In its favour
- Prime Central Urban Location: Located in a established inner-city residential area with strong access to public transport and amenities
- Durable External Finish: Pebble-dash/dash render finish provides a low-maintenance, weather-resistant exterior protective layer
- Dual-Aspect Light Potential: Corner position on the lane allows side elevation windows for improved natural light compared to mid-terrace
- Compact & Efficient Footprint: Smaller overall surface area leads to lower heating demands once insulated and easier routine maintenance
Watch for
- Lack of Private Outdoor Space: Very tight site boundary with virtually no dedicated private garden, yard, or patio area
- Privacy and Noise Concerns: Front entrance and ground floor open directly onto a narrow shared lane/footpath
- Sub-Optimal Energy Efficiency (BER): Older timber window units and uninsulated solid masonry walls will require retrofit insulation and
- Restricted Parking and Refuse Logistics: No off-street parking available; bin storage is forced onto the public alleyway/lane
BER EXEMPT and the cost to reach B2
A poor rating. Expect high heating bills and a deep retrofit to get to a green-mortgage grade. About €38,850 after SEAI grants gets this 110 m² home to B2.

What should I check before I sign?
Inside a high flood-risk zone. In Ireland this shows up as loaded premiums (roughly €400–1,500 a year), a flood excess of €5,000–25,000, or cover declined outright. No cover can mean no mortgage, and it follows you to resale. Get a written home insurance quote BEFORE you bid, and ask whether an OPW scheme protects this address.
BER exempt, no energy rating available. Usually a protected structure or a building outside the BER rules. It means you have no standard measure of running costs, and most lenders cannot apply a green rate. Ask why it is exempt. If it is protected, check what upgrades are even permitted before you budget.
12 must-do checks, tailored to this house. Budget €3.3k to €6.8k for the paid ones.
