FAQ
Sligo property
report FAQs.
Is Sligo at risk of flooding?
As a coastal county, Sligo carries both river and coastal flood risk. Data derived from OPW floodinfo.ie records shows 271 past flood events in the county, among the higher counts nationally. Flood risk is highly local (two houses on the same road can sit in different flood zones), so a PropertyPack report checks the OPW flood maps for the specific Eircode rather than relying on county averages.
Are there radon concerns in Sligo?
EPA measurements up to 2019 found 24.9% of Sligo homes tested were at or above the 200 Bq/m³ Reference Level, above the national tested share of 14.1%. Homes that tested were often in promoted high-radon areas, so that figure is not county-wide prevalence. Radon is linked to around 350 lung cancer cases in Ireland each year and the EPA recommends testing every home. A PropertyPack report shows whether the specific address falls in an EPA High Radon Area.
What is the median house price in Sligo?
The median full-market sale price in Co. Sligo was €260,500 in 2026; the Property Price Register recorded 445 sales in the county that year. That is up 4.2% on the 2025 median of €250,000. A PropertyPack report puts the asking price of the property you're checking beside actual registered sales in the same area.
What are the main environmental risks in Sligo?
Based on official data, the main environmental considerations in Sligo are river and coastal flooding in low-lying areas, coastal erosion on exposed stretches, elevated radon readings and mica-affected concrete blocks. Every risk is local, though: a PropertyPack report checks all 18 categories (including flood zones, radon, coastal erosion, geology and mica/pyrite designation) at the exact address.
How do I check the BER rating of a property in Sligo?
Almost every home offered for sale must have a Building Energy Rating from the SEAI register. Protected structures are among the few exemptions. A PropertyPack report retrieves the property's BER details where a certificate exists, and estimates realistic running costs and upgrade costs for the rating, useful in Sligo's older housing stock, where low ratings can mean significant heating and retrofit bills.
What school options are available in Sligo?
The Department of Education lists 64 primary and 13 post-primary schools in Co. Sligo. Post-primary options concentrate in the larger towns such as Sligo and Tubbercurry, so rural buyers should factor in school transport. Your report lists the nearest schools to the property with enrolment figures and ethos.
What does a PropertyPack report cover for Sligo?
A PropertyPack report runs 18 checks for any address in Sligo: Flood Risk, Radon Risk, BER Rating, Property Prices, Planning Applications, Broadband Coverage, Schools, Crime Statistics, Air Quality, Noise Levels, Geology & Subsidence, Coastal Erosion, Mica & Pyrite, Transport & Commute, Healthcare Access, Local Property Tax, Insurance & Carrying Cost and Neighbourhood & Lifestyle. Each check uses official Irish data sources such as the OPW, EPA, SEAI, CSO and the Property Price Register.
