Likely range €826,000 – €1,010,000
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 348 m². An estimate, not a formal valuation.
Asking price vs comparable homes Fair confidence
Priced higherAbout rightPriced lower
The asking price sits above our fair-value estimate.
Based on comparable homes on the market now — beds, size, BER, type and area. Our estimate for a home like this is around €918,000 (€826,000–€1,010,000). Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 45% 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.

Bid coach — where to pitch your offer
Our estimate — likely to sell for€826,000–€1,200,000Priced above our fair-value range — likely to need negotiation and may close below the asking.
Open around€801,000
Fair value€826,000–€1,010,000
Needs modernisation — the listing flags work to do, so our fair value sits lower. A low price here reflects the work, not a bargain — budget for the refurbishment on top.
Based on wording in the agent's description.
Fair value blends our price model with homes of this size, type, energy rating and area; the asking is 31% above its midpoint. Homes in Ireland often sell over asking in strong areas, so the top of the range is fair value, not a ceiling. A guide for your negotiation, not a valuation — the right bid also depends on how much you want it and what you can borrow.

03Before you bid
What we found against this address
Each finding is drawn from a named public dataset and checked at this property's approximate location.
High priority€36k–€96k
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. The OPW–Insurance Ireland memorandum only helps where a completed OPW scheme protects the address.
Do this Get a written home insurance quote BEFORE you bid, and ask whether an OPW scheme protects this address.

Worth knowing€15.5k–€48.5k
BER C — reasonable, short of the green-rate threshold
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.

Worth knowing
Inside the National Broadband Plan intervention area
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.

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.
Home energy upgrade — to a B2 (green-mortgage) rating

Confirm the boundaries on the title map match what you were shownshould
Boundary disputes are slow, expensive and surprisingly common.
