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
Excellent BER Rating: The B1 BER rating for this 121.0m² property indicates good energy efficiency, suggesting annual energy costs of approximately €1,000-€1,400 compared to €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Generous Proportions: With 121.0m² of living space across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the property offers a good size and configuration for a family, exceeding the typical offering in some markets.
Value Enhancement Potential: While already B1, upgrading to an A-rated BER could cost €10,000-€15,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000, offering a solid return on investment.
Hypothesis: The B1 BER rating combined with a substantial 121m² size suggests this property is well-positioned for long-term value retention and growth, particularly as energy efficiency becomes an increasingly significant factor for buyers and a key differentiator in resale value.
Amenities
Connectivity Focus: While specific bus routes or train stations are not detailed for Manorcunningham, the location implies reliance on local bus services for broader connectivity, likely necessitating onward travel to larger hubs.
Local Services Limited: Specific shopping centres, primary schools, or major healthcare facilities are not detailed for Manorcunningham, suggesting residents may need to travel to nearby towns like Letterkenny for a wider range of amenities.
Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location in Manorcunningham, Co. Donegal, points towards a more rural lifestyle with potential access to local walking routes and natural landscapes, though precise details are not provided.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific transport and amenity data for Manorcunningham suggests this property appeals to buyers prioritising a quieter, rural setting over immediate access to extensive urban facilities, with potential development or infrastructure improvements in nearby Letterkenny being a key future value driver.
