Is Fort View worth the asking price?
Asking above our estimated range. The asking price is 23% above our €426,000 midpoint.
If you bid, think in €383,000 to €469,000. Opening near €372,000 would be aggressive in this market. Priced above the range, so it may need negotiation and close below the asking.
Asking price divided by the 209 m² floor area. Too few comparable homes for sale nearby to rank it.
12 comparable sales within 8 km in the last two years. Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 58% of the time.
The house is in good order. We never lift an estimate for a finish, only trim the low end of the range.
Price trend, Border
Change in the CSO Residential Property Price Index for Border, to May 2026. A regional trend, not this exact house.
What it costs a month
About €2,270 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?
The subject property is situated in an appealing semi-rural setting on the boundary of open countryside, enjoying a generous plot with extensive driveway space and mature boundary greenery. It offers a strong balance between rural tranquility and suburban connectivity. Aerial views show a well-defined footprint and substantial curtilage; however, street-level elevations are heavily obscured by mature hedgerows.
In its favour
- Desirable semi-rural setting directly bordering open agricultural fields and green space
- Generous plot size featuring a substantial private driveway and ample off-street parking
- High level of natural privacy and seclusion provided by mature boundary hedges
- Good scope for future extensions, outbuildings, or landscaping improvements (subject to planning)
Watch for
- Heavily overgrown roadside vegetation obscures sightlines and requires immediate cutback and maintenance
- Presence of overhead utility lines traversing near the property boundary
- Limited street-level visual access from public roads, requiring a comprehensive physical survey to verify facade condition
- Edge-of-village location likely offers limited immediate access to shops and public transit on foot

Large-format tiled flooring, recessed ceiling lights, and an integrated media wall provide a complete walk-in environment.
