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
C3 BER Rating: With a C3 BER rating, this property is likely to have annual energy costs of approximately €1,600-€2,000, compared to €800-€1,200 for an A2-rated property of similar size.
Investment Potential: Upgrading the BER from C3 to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and improving its market appeal.
Generous Space: At 153m², the property offers substantial living space with 5 bedrooms, exceeding the average space efficiency typically found in the immediate vicinity based on the 1km median sale price per sqm.
Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER, there's a significant opportunity to enhance long-term value and reduce operating costs through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, aligning the property with increasingly environmentally conscious buyer preferences and potentially closing the gap with higher-value local sales that may benefit from better BER ratings.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations explicitly mentioned as serving this immediate rural location within the provided data.
Local Services: While specific amenities are not detailed, rural locations like Gortboy typically rely on the town of Newcastle West for core services such as supermarkets (e.g., SuperValu), pharmacies, and primary schools (e.g., Scoil Mhuire gan Smál).
Car Dependency: The absence of specific public transport links suggests a high reliance on private vehicles for accessing schools, healthcare facilities, and retail centers, impacting commuter convenience for those without a car.
Hypothesis: The property's location outside of a major urban hub, indicated by the lack of specific public transport routes in the provided data, will likely necessitate significant investment in private transport infrastructure and long-distance commuting for access to a wider range of educational, healthcare, and retail facilities, a factor that may suppress its market value compared to properties with superior connectivity.
