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 C1 Potential: The C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with potential for improvement. Upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Generous Size: At 130m², this 4-bedroom semi-detached property is larger than the 3-bedroom median (3.0 beds) seen within a 100km radius, offering more living space.
- Value Optimization: While not a premium BER, the C1 rating is common. Focusing on minor cosmetic upgrades and ensuring optimal functionality could align its presentation with the median sale prices for 4-bedroom homes in the area, rather than demanding a significant premium.
- Hypothesis: Given that 100% of properties within a 100km radius have an unknown BER rating in the provided data, the specific C1 rating, while not exceptional, provides a concrete benchmark that could be leveraged to justify a higher asking price if presented alongside a detailed energy audit and a clear plan for improvement, potentially adding 5-10% to its value with targeted upgrades.
Amenities
Limited Local Connectivity: Ballina, Co. Mayo does not have a Luas, DART, or direct commuter train line serving it, relying primarily on Bus Éireann routes such as the 440 (Sligo-Ballina) and local services for public transport.
Details
- Local Education & Healthcare: The area is served by St. Muredach's College and Gaelscoil na gCeithre Gorm, along with Ballina District Hospital and local pharmacies like McGorisks Pharmacy, providing essential services.
- Retail & Lifestyle Hub: Ballina town centre offers shopping at stores like Dunnes Stores and Aldi, with dining options including The LOFT and Great House Restaurant, and outdoor amenities at Belleek Park.
- Hypothesis: The relative lack of direct public transport links to major urban centres from Ballina suggests that properties like this will appeal more to local buyers or those seeking a quieter lifestyle, potentially limiting immediate resale value uplift compared to properties with strong commuter links, unless significant investment in regional transport infrastructure is announced.
