How this is calculated
We search the Property Price Register for closed sales near this property — matching by location, beds, property type, and where available, floor area (±20%). This gives us a set of genuinely comparable transactions.
Each sale is then time-adjusted to today using local price trends, so a sale from 18 months ago is inflated (or deflated) to reflect current market conditions. Where floor area is known, sales are also size-adjusted — a 90m² sale is normalised to what it would have sold for at this property's size. This means the figures you see aren't raw prices — they're what those same homes would likely sell for today, at this size.
Your bid strategy (opening offer, sealed bid range, walk-away ceiling) is then derived from the statistical distribution of these adjusted sales — with conservative safety margins applied when data is thin or dated.
Every figure comes from actual government-recorded sale prices. No asking prices, no agent estimates, no automated valuations.

Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER Energy Costs: With a C BER rating, annual energy costs for this 120m² property are estimated to be €1,400-€1,800, compared to €1,000-€1,400 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Upgrade Potential: Upgrading from a C to a B2 BER rating could cost approximately €6,000-€10,000 and is estimated to increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, presenting a modest return on investment.
Space Efficiency: The property offers 120m² of living space with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which is a good configuration for family living, aligning with the typical needs of households in this size bracket.
Hypothesis: Given the prevalence of C BER ratings locally (as implied by the subject property), a strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades to a B rating could differentiate this property and capture a price premium of up to 5% in a competitive Kells market, especially if neighbouring properties remain at lower BER standards.
Amenities
Transport Links: Kells is served by Bus Éireann routes such as the 109 towards Dublin City Centre, providing direct commuter access.
Local Education: The area benefits from educational facilities like St. Colmcille's National School and the Headfort School within close proximity.
Retail and Services: Residents have access to local shopping in Kells town centre, including supermarkets like SuperValu and a variety of local shops and pharmacies.
Hypothesis: The recent investment in infrastructure projects like the M3 motorway bypass has significantly improved connectivity from Kells to Dublin, potentially increasing the desirability and property values for commuters seeking a more rural lifestyle with manageable travel times, a trend likely to continue as more remote working options become standard.
