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.
“Grand, bar a few jobs.”
Normal for its age. Budget for the work and you are fine. 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 single-story/bungalow style detached residence situated on a generous plot in a semi-rural setting. The property is heavily screened from the public road by high, mature evergreen hedges, delivering excellent privacy. Satellite imagery reveals significant surrounding space, flexible driveway access, and secondary outbuilding potential, making it well-suited for buyers seeking seclusion and space.
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 253 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 €495,000 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 Midland, to May 2026. A regional trend, not this exact home.

03The area
Measured at this address's small area, not the county — grouped into the environment around the home, the community, and getting around.
This property is not within any mapped OPW flood extent (CFRAM, NIFM or NCFHM).
This property is in the National Broadband Plan intervention area. High-speed fibre broadband is being rolled out by National Broadband Ireland (NBI). Speeds of up to 500Mbps download will be available once connected.
Westmeath is not a designated High Radon Area — but any home can be affected. Radon maps to a 10 km grid, so check the exact address on the EPA radon map; a home test costs about €50.

Pobal Deprivation Index for UMMA, 7.3 vs a national average of 0.
No schools mapped in the immediate area — expect a drive to the nearest town.
No GPs or pharmacies mapped nearby — the nearest are likely in the closest town.
38.8 recorded crimes per 1,000 residents in the Westmeath Garda division — 6% above the national average of 36.7. This is a Garda-division figure, so it averages across a wide area — a single division can span very different neighbourhoods, and inner-city divisions read high on small resident populations. Read it as a broad guide, not a street-level rating. Source: CSO CJA07 (recorded crime, under reservation).

04Before 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.
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 €20k–€51k.
An active area for building work, mostly small domestic jobs.
Do this Scan the list for anything that would directly overlook the property.
Planning applications register
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.

05Energy & upgrade
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 253 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.
Indicative measures and costs to bring this 253 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 | €3,450 | −€1,500 | €1,950 |
| 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 | €11,150 | −€4,000 | €7,150 | |
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.
06Aspect
Moderate - Garden gets some direct sunlight during the day. Derived from the building's orientation on the map.
07Planning
11 applications within a kilometre of this door. 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
20 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.
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.
