Grand, bar a few jobs.
A 2-bed detached house in Ballon, 104 m². Asking €1,700,000, well outside what typical sales nearby would suggest, so treat the price as one only a surveyor can test. Budget for damp treatment, replastering, energy efficiency upgrades, and replacing the kitchen and heating system.

Is Lisnavagh worth the asking price?
We can't place this price with confidence.
Asking €1,700,000. The asking price sits far outside what typical sales nearby would suggest, which usually means the home has land, size or character our model can't see. We don't show a range rather than show a misleading one. Use the sold prices below and your own surveyor's view instead.
Asking price divided by the 104 m² floor area. Too few comparable homes for sale nearby to rank it.
The asking price sits far outside what sales nearby would suggest, so this home has something our model can't see. We don't stand over a range for it.
Price trend, South-East
Change in the CSO Residential Property Price Index for South-East, to May 2026. A regional trend, not this exact house.
What it costs a month
About €7,440 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 should I check before I sign?
BER G, among the least efficient homes. High heating bills and a deep retrofit needed to reach a modern standard. Also below the B3 threshold that AIB, Bank of Ireland, PTSB and Haven use for green mortgage rates. Price the upgrade before bidding, and check the SEAI One Stop Shop and the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant.
Inside a mapped flood 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.
