- Strong energy upgrade potential: The BER report suggests the home has a theoretical potential to reach an A1 energy rating.
But keep in mind:
- Moderate BER rating: The current C energy rating indicates that substantial insulation or heating upgrades may be required to achieve optimal energy efficiency.
- Historical extension date typo: The listing text humorously claims the kitchen was extended in 1918, suggesting potential typos in documentation that require legal verification.
- A1 rating feasibility: Achieving the stated potential A1 energy rating would likely require extensive and costly deep retrofitting works.
- Untested services disclaimer: The agents explicitly state that apparatus, fixtures, fittings, and services have not been tested by them.
- Boundary verification needed: Buyers should independently verify exact boundary lines and fence ownership as the agent does not define them.
- Planning permission caveats: The large detached garage and outbuildings may require checked planning compliance depending on intended future uses like home offices.
- Build year considerations: Constructed in 1982, the property is over forty years old and may require closer inspection of older plumbing and wiring.
- North-west garden orientation: The back garden has a north-west aspect which might limit direct sunlight during certain parts of the day.
- Single main bathroom load: Serving four bedrooms with only one main family bathroom and one ensuite could create morning bottlenecks.
- Gas heating system age: Buyers should have the gas-fired central heating boiler and associated radiators thoroughly inspected by a qualified professional.
- Attic insulation status: Pull-down attic stairs provide easy access, but insulation levels should be verified against modern standards.
- Potential window seals: PVC double-glazed windows should be checked for condensation or seal failure given the property's age.
- Drains and sewerage condition: As mains sewerage is connected, a CCTV drain survey is recommended to check for root ingress or pipe damage.
- Electrical fuse box check: The listing mentions an older-style fuse box in the hallway which may require an electrical safety upgrade.
- Management or estate fees: Buyers should verify if there are any active residents associations or maintenance fees for communal green areas.
- Title and covenant review: Legal advisors should carefully examine property deeds for any restrictive covenants typical of mature estates.
- Local development plans: Buyers should check local Kildare county development plans for any nearby zoning changes or future construction projects.
- Fittings condition report: Although appliances are included, their working lifespan cannot be guaranteed without an independent surveyor's check.
- Roof timber inspection: A thorough structural survey should check the roof timbers for any signs of damp, rot, or sagging.
- Asking price reflection: At €695,000, buyers should commission an independent valuation to ensure the price aligns with recent comparable local sales.
