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 B3 Efficiency: The B3 BER rating offers good energy efficiency, estimated to result in annual energy costs of €1,300-€1,700, which is €500-€900 lower than comparable D-rated properties.
Details
- Spacious Family Home: At 120m² with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this semi-detached property is well-configured for family living, offering more space than the median 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom properties commonly found in the market.
- Investment in Efficiency: While the B3 BER is commendable, upgrading to an A-rated BER would cost approximately €10,000-€15,000 and could potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000 based on market trends for highly efficient homes.
- Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER rating, the property is well-positioned for current energy efficiency standards, but a targeted investment in upgrading to an A2 or A3 rating, estimated to cost €10,000-€15,000, could unlock a further 5-7% increase in market value, especially as energy performance becomes a more critical factor in buyer decisions.
Amenities
Limited Local Connectivity: As Butler's Bridge is a smaller settlement, direct access to major public transport routes like Dublin Bus routes, Luas, or DART lines is not specified in the provided data, suggesting reliance on private transport for commuting.
Details
- Local Services Access: While specific amenities for Butler's Bridge are not detailed, typical rural service hubs offer essential shops and basic healthcare, but access to larger shopping centres like the one in Cavan Town (approx. 15-20km away) would require a car.
- Educational Proximity: The property's location outside Dublin implies proximity to local primary and secondary schools; however, specific school names or further education institutions in the immediate vicinity are not provided, requiring further local investigation.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport routes and major amenities listed for Butler's Bridge, combined with the property's 'Outside Dublin' classification, suggests that its value proposition heavily relies on its affordability and suitability for those who prioritize a quieter lifestyle and have access to private transportation, with commuter access to larger centres like Cavan Town being a key factor.
