- Established neighbourhood: Built around 1971 in a mature residential setting, benefiting from well-established community roots and mature landscaping.
But keep in mind:
- Sub-optimal energy rating: Holds a D1 Building Energy Rating, which indicates higher than average heat loss and signals that further energy upgrades may be needed.
- Oil-fired heating system: Relies on an oil-fired central heating system rather than a modern natural gas or heat pump setup, which can involve higher fuel management costs.
- Mid-terrace property type: As a mid-terrace home, party walls are shared on both sides, which can occasionally transmit sound from immediate neighbours.
- Single bathroom facility: Features only one main bathroom upstairs and a downstairs WC, which may cause morning queues in a busy three-bedroom household.
- Compact third bedroom: Bedroom three measures 2.7m by 2.4m, offering relatively tight quarters that may restrict furniture layouts or double bed placement.
- Potential parking constraints: While rear drive-in access exists, front parking arrangements should be verified to confirm if dedicated street or driveway spaces are guaranteed.
- Age of original structure: Built in 1971, the underlying plumbing, electrical wiring, and structural elements should be thoroughly inspected by a surveyor for wear.
- Attic conversion compliance: Buyers should verify whether the floored attic space and its usage comply with current local planning permissions and building regulations.
- Boundary line clarity: The exact boundaries of the rear garden and shared vehicular laneways should be checked against land registry maps during legal conveyancing.
- Ventilation and damp checks: Given the 2015 external insulation upgrade, buyers should instruct a surveyor to check internal ventilation to ensure trapped moisture is not an issue.
- Roof timber inspection: The roof structure dating back to the 1970s should be examined for signs of timber fatigue, woodworm, or sagging under the weight of the floored attic.
- Electrical system safety: The fuse board and circuit wiring should be professionally tested to ensure they meet contemporary safety standards for a home of this vintage.
- Plumbing system condition: Older pipework associated with a 1971 build can be prone to corrosion or leaks, making a comprehensive plumbing check advisable.
- Surface water drainage: Buyers should check the rear yard and surrounding area for proper surface water drainage, especially around the vehicular access point.
- Broadband availability: High-speed fibre broadband speeds should be independently verified with service providers to ensure remote working capabilities are adequate.
- Local traffic congestion: Proximity to major roads and the city centre may result in peak-hour traffic congestion along commuter routes into Corbally.
- Refuse and waste management: Local council or private waste collection arrangements and charges should be investigated prior to closing the purchase.
- Home insurance costs: Properties with older construction dates or D1 energy ratings can sometimes attract higher buildings insurance premiums or specific policy conditions.
- Future retrofit expenses: Bringing a D1-rated home up to modern nearly-zero energy standards will require significant capital investment in heating and insulation upgrades.
- Lack of structural guarantees: As a mature resale property, no builder warranties apply, meaning the buyer assumes full financial responsibility for all future maintenance.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears slightly below current market expectations when evaluated against recent transaction figures recorded for equivalent properties situated within the immediate locality.
- Upward pricing signals are driven by steady transactional benchmarks nearby reaching into the mid-two-hundred-thousands, reflecting strong localized demand for established residential housing units.
- Potential factors that could undermine this competitive valuation include the property energy rating standing at a modest level requiring future efficiency upgrades by purchasers.
- Additional factors supporting the current pricing strategy involve the inclusion of various white goods and furnishings alongside convenient proximity to regional urban amenities.
Build Analysis
What we know from similar construction types
- The property was built in 1971, indicating a traditional construction era which may involve older wiring, plumbing, and layout conventions that a buyer should have inspected.
- The listing notes external insulation and attic insulation were installed in 2015, alongside PVC double glazed windows fitted in 2015, which significantly enhances the thermal efficiency compared to original builds of this age.
- A buyer should verify the condition of the oil-fired central heating system and check compliance and building records for any alterations, such as the ground floor WC or attic conversion/flooring work.
- The property features drive-in access to the rear, which should be checked for proper planning permission and right-of-way access if applicable.
Retrofit Cost*
Possible renovating / insulating expenditure
- The property holds a D1 BER rating, indicating that energy efficiency is moderate and further upgrades would be required to reach a modern standard.
- Estimated deep-retrofit cost is approximately 35,000 to 50,000 euros.
- Reasoning: While external insulation and windows were upgraded in 2015, achieving a higher BER rating (such as B or A) would likely necessitate upgrading the oil-fired heating system to a heat pump, installing solar panels, and addressing any remaining thermal bridging or ventilation improvements.
Heating cost*
Estimated expense to heat this property every year
- Estimated annual heating cost is around 1,500 to 2,000 euro.
- Explanation: This property features oil-fired central heating and a D1 BER rating, though it also benefits from external insulation and attic insulation installed in 2015, which helps mitigate some energy loss.
