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 Rating Advantage: With a B3 BER rating, this property is energy efficient, likely incurring lower annual energy costs compared to an average D-rated property (estimated saving of €1,000-€1,400 annually).
Details
- Size and Configuration: The 90m² terrace property offers 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is a higher bedroom count than the 3-bedroom median within 100km, potentially appealing to larger families but with a lower bathroom count.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the B3 BER rating, further insulation or heating system upgrades could potentially elevate the BER, although specific cost-benefit analysis for this property is needed.
- Hypothesis: While the 4-bedroom configuration is a positive for space, the single bathroom in a property of this size and bedroom count may be a limiting factor in its market appeal and long-term value appreciation, potentially leading to a discount compared to similar properties with more bathrooms, despite the good BER.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations explicitly mentioned as serving Smithborough, Co. Monaghan, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Amenities Gap: The provided data does not specify any particular schools, healthcare facilities, shopping centres, or lifestyle amenities within the immediate vicinity of Smithborough.
- Walkability Uncertainty: Without specific details on local walking routes or pedestrian infrastructure, the walkability and pedestrian access for this property are not clearly defined.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport and detailed amenities in the provided data for Smithborough suggests that property values in this location are likely less influenced by commuter convenience and urban lifestyle factors, and more by rural charm, agricultural proximity, or proximity to larger regional towns which would require further investigation.
