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 Advantage: The B3 BER rating offers a good energy efficiency level, suggesting moderate annual energy costs compared to lower-rated properties.
Size Offering: With 120.0m² across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the property offers a generous living space for its type, potentially commanding a premium for families.
Value Optimization: While the BER is good, a strategic upgrade from B3 to B2 could cost approximately €3,000-€5,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €5,000-€8,000 by meeting higher energy performance standards, and would reduce annual energy costs by an estimated €100-€200 compared to its current B3 rating.
Hypothesis: The presence of a B3 BER rating suggests a commitment to energy efficiency, but the market trend towards A-rated homes means that investing in further insulation and renewable energy sources could yield a significant return on investment, potentially recouping upgrade costs through increased resale value and long-term savings, especially if the 1km radius median price per sqm (€1,959) indicates a market willing to pay for quality.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not detailed for Charlestown, Co Mayo, the area's connectivity to larger transport hubs would be a key consideration for commuter appeal, likely relying on Bus Éireann services.
Local Services: Charlestown typically offers essential local amenities such as primary schools (e.g., St. Attracta's National School), local shops, and healthcare facilities, contributing to everyday convenience.
Walkability: The walkability in Charlestown would depend on its specific layout, but access to local shops, cafes like 'The Diamond Cafe', and community spaces like the Charlestown Arts Centre would be key selling points for residents.
Hypothesis: Given Charlestown's location outside major urban centres, the presence of a functioning local community hub, potentially including a library, community centre, and a few well-established local businesses and services, would significantly enhance its desirability and property values, especially for families and those seeking a more rural lifestyle with essential conveniences readily available.
