Is Sligo Bay Lodge worth the asking price?

We can only give a rough guide here.

Asking €925,000. Our rough guide is €434,000 to €723,000, a wide band around €578,000, because only 18 comparable sales within 25 km in the last three years fed it. A guide at this level lands within 20% of the sale price about a third of the time, so treat it as a starting point only.

Asking price divided by the 276 m² floor area. Too few comparable homes nearby to rank it.

Confidence
Low

1 comparable sale within 8 km and 18 within 25 km in the last three years. Enough for a rough guide, not for a verdict on the asking price.

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 €4,010 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?

Front of Sligo Bay Lodge from the street
Street View, read automatically. Outside only. A prompt for your surveyor, not a substitute.

The property comprises a prominent two-storey coastal building situated along the waterfront roadway facing Sligo Bay. Characterised by traditional rendered masonry construction under pitched slate roofs, the property enjoys direct sea views and high footfall/drive-by prominence, making it ideal for hospitality, holiday letting, or a coastal lifestyle residence. Visual inspection from available imagery indicates a generally well-maintained exterior.

In its favour

  • Prime frontline coastal position offering uninterrupted panoramic sea and bay views
  • Strong commercial or holiday-let potential given the scenic seaside location and established tourism profile
  • Apparent sound structural envelope with well-maintained pitched slate roofing and updated glazing units
  • Charming traditional coastal vernacular architecture with excellent roadside visibility

Watch for

  • High exposure to harsh marine elements, wind, and salt spray, demanding frequent exterior maintenance
  • Direct roadside frontage with minimal setback, creating potential traffic noise and pedestrian disturbance
  • On-street parking restrictions (double yellow lines) directly outside the front entrance
  • Potential coastal flood risk and moisture penetration inherent to low-lying waterfront environments

Inside: well maintained character home

What should I check before I sign?

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. Ask what would get it to B3 and price that against the rate saving.

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. Check the NBI rollout status for this Eircode before you bid, and ask the occupants what they actually get.

10 must-do checks, tailored to this house. Budget €3.6k to €7.7k for the paid ones.

Get your surveyor to

Commission a pre-purchase survey from a chartered building surveyor
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.
MUST
€500 to €1.1k
Get defective concrete block (mica/pyrite) testing
County Sligo is a designated county. Lenders generally require certification, and without it the house may be unsellable.
MUST
€500 to €1.5k

Get your solicitor to

Instruct a solicitor for title, planning and local authority searches
Confirms the seller owns what they are selling and that everything built has permission.
MUST
€2.2k to €4.5k
Get Certificates of Compliance with planning and Building Regulations for any extension or attic conversion
Unauthorised work can block your mortgage and becomes your problem the day you close.
MUST
Check the Local Property Tax band is correctly declared and paid up
An under-declared band follows the property to you, not the seller.
MUST

Ask the seller or agent

Ask for the BER certificate and the advisory report that goes with it
The advisory report lists the specific upgrades recommended for this house.
MUST
Ask why they are selling and how long they have owned it
Free, and it tells you more about the property and your negotiating room than any document.
MUST

Do this on your viewing

View a second time at a different time of day
Traffic, noise, parking and light all change. Most buyers only ever see a house once.
MUST

Sort with your lender or broker

Confirm your approval covers this specific property and price
Approval in principle is not a loan offer. The lender still has to value and approve this house.
MUST
€150 to €200
Budget for stamp duty and check what other costs land at closing
Stamp duty is 1% up to €1m, 2% between €1m and €1.5m, and 6% above that.
MUST
10 more worth doing
Confirm the boundaries on the title map match what you were shown
Boundary disputes are slow, expensive and surprisingly common.
SHOULD
Check the BER certificate has not expired
A BER lasts ten years. An expired cert will not support a green mortgage rate application.
SHOULD
Look for Japanese knotweed in the garden and along boundaries
It is a genuine mortgage blocker in Ireland, and treatment runs for several years.
SHOULD
Ask whether the property has ever flooded, and about any insurance refusals
A seller need not volunteer problems, but must not misrepresent when asked. So ask, in writing, through your solicitor.
SHOULD
Run every tap, flush every toilet, open every window
Water pressure, drainage and rotten frames are expensive and easy to miss in a ten-minute viewing.
SHOULD
Get into the attic and look under the stairs
Insulation depth, damp and the age of the wiring are all visible where nobody looks.
SHOULD
Get a SEAI Home Energy Assessment and a retrofit quote
Turns a vague "needs work" into a real number you can bid against.
SHOULD
€180 to €300
Raise the 3 items our report could not confirm
Where public data is missing, pre-contract enquiries are how you close the gap.
SHOULD
Do a radon test if you buy, or ask if one has been done
Ireland is a European radon hotspot. Testing is cheap and remediation is usually straightforward.
WORTH IT
€30 to €50
Ask your broker what the rate would be at B3, and about the Home Energy Upgrade Loan
The green discount plus a low-rate upgrade loan can cover a good share of the work.
WORTH IT
