But keep in mind:
- High asking price: At €995,000, buyers should verify that recent comparable sales in the immediate Malahide area fully justify this substantial capital outlay.
- Attic conversion cost: Although planning permission exists under reference F24A/0399, buyers must budget separately for the substantial construction expenses to actually complete the loft conversion.
- Compact rear garden: While west-facing, the total plot size may be relatively modest due to the substantial footprint of the rear house extension.
- B3 energy rating limit: While respectable, a B3 rating falls short of an A rating, meaning you might need further eco-upgrades to achieve maximum energy efficiency.
- Maintenance of render: The extensive exterior rendering and modern facades will require regular cleaning and periodic repainting to maintain their pristine showroom appearance.
- Traffic congestion: Biscayne is a popular coastal neighbourhood, so prospective buyers should check local rush hour traffic patterns around Malahide village.
- Surface water drainage: Given the newly paved driveway and expanded footprint, verify that adequate sustainable drainage systems are installed to prevent surface pooling.
- Party wall considerations: The extensive structural alterations and extensions mean buyers should check that all party wall agreements with neighbours were properly executed.
- Boiler servicing: The high-output combi boiler will require regular annual professional servicing to maintain its warranty and avoid unexpected heating breakdowns.
- Appliance warranties: Buyers must check whether warranties for the integrated Neff and BORA kitchen appliances transfer directly to the new homeowner.
- Insurance premiums: High specification finishes, custom carpentry, and quartz worktops may increase home contents and buildings insurance replacement valuations.
- Boundary verification: Buyers should instruct their solicitor to meticulously check the title maps to confirm the exact legal boundaries of the widened driveway.
- Ventilation systems: Highly insulated and airtight modern renovations require proper mechanical or passive ventilation to prevent condensation and indoor moisture build-up.
- Future local development: Investigate county development plans nearby to ensure no large-scale commercial or high-density housing projects will obstruct local views or traffic.
- Shed compliance: Verify that the substantial steel shed on its concrete base complies fully with local planning exemptions and building regulations.
- Stove clearance: Ensure the Dik Geurts cassette stove installation has been fully certified by a registered professional for fire safety and chimney integrity.
- Electrical certification: Request a formal completion certificate for the full rewiring works to guarantee compliance with current electrical safety standards.
- Plumbing guarantees: Ask for contractor guarantee documentation relating to the complete replumbing and new pipework concealed behind the newly finished walls.
- Property tax band: Check the exact Local Property Tax valuation band assigned to the remodelled property to accurately calculate recurring annual property taxes.
- Open plan acoustics: The extended open plan kitchen and dining layout can create sound reverberation issues, which buyers sensitive to noise should consider.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price of €995,000 appears moderately aligned to slightly full given recent comparable transactions on the same estate that span from €850,000 up to €1,035,000 for properties of varying sizes and conditions.
- Upward valuation signals stem from the extensive modern turnkey renovation, front and rear extensions, B3 energy rating, premium Kube kitchen, and active planning permission for a future attic conversion.
- Market support relies heavily on buyer willingness to pay a premium for a completely modernised house with sea views in a highly sought-after coastal Dublin suburb, though over-reliance on high-end finishes could cap further growth.
- Potential factors that could undermine this pricing level include competition from other recently transacted properties in the immediate neighbourhood that achieved lower figures, as well as broader macroeconomic interest rate pressures.
