Is Varenne worth the asking price?

Asking above our estimated range. The asking price is 33% above our €959,000 midpoint.

Our estimate €959k
Asking €1.28m
€803kEstimated range €863k to €1.06m€1.36m

If you bid, think in €863,000 to €1,055,000. Opening near €837,000 would be aggressive in this market. Priced above the range, so it may need negotiation and close below the asking.

Price per m²
€6,220/m²

Asking price divided by the 205 m² floor area. Too few comparable homes for sale nearby to rank it.

Confidence
High

24 comparable sales within 3 km in the last two years, and 8 comparable homes for sale in the area. Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 74% of the time.

Condition adjustment
Held

The house is in good order. We never lift an estimate for a finish, only trim the low end of the range.

Price trend, Mid-East

+6%1 year
+23%3 years
+49%5 years

Change in the CSO Residential Property Price Index for Mid-East, to May 2026. A regional trend, not this exact house.

What it costs a month

About €5,550 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?

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.

9 must-do checks, tailored to this house. Budget €2.9k to €5.8k 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 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
8 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
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.

€30 to €50
