- Window seals check: While double glazed, the buyer should verify the overall condition of window seals and frames to prevent potential draughts or condensation issues.
- Fireplace compliance: The solid fuel fireplace in the living room should be professionally inspected to ensure flue safety and compliance with local smoke control regulations.
- Attic insulation status: The listing does not detail attic insulation levels, so purchasers should commission a thorough survey to check heat retention in upper spaces.

- Kitchen appliance inclusion: Buyers must clarify which white goods and kitchen appliances are included in the asking price to avoid post-sale surprises.
- Roof structure check: The pitched roof timbers and exterior tiling should be visually examined by a surveyor to confirm there are no leaks or structural sagging.

Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears slightly undervalued when compared against historical transacted figures on the same residential street and immediate surrounding neighborhood data points.
- Valuation signals show recent nearby properties achieving higher figures, indicating strong local buyer demand and steady appreciation for similar three-bedroom residential units in this specific suburban location.
- Potential factors supporting this pricing level include strong transport links and presentation, whereas a C2 energy rating could undermine buyer enthusiasm if modernization costs are anticipated.
- Additional market relevance stems from the competitive suburban Dublin environment, where family homes featuring extension potential frequently command strong premiums during open competitive bidding processes.
