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.

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: With a B3 BER rating, this property likely incurs annual energy costs of €1,100-€1,500, representing potential savings of €700-€1,100 annually compared to D-rated properties in the same size bracket within a 100km radius.
Space Efficiency: At 120m², this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom semi-detached property offers an average of 40m² per bedroom, which is comparable to the median of 3-bedroom properties sold within a 10km radius.
Value Optimization: While the BER is good, upgrading from B3 to B2 (potentially costing €2,000-€4,000) could increase its market appeal and potentially add €4,000-€6,000 in value, optimising its positioning against the B3 median.
Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER rating, focusing on improving insulation and heating controls could cost approximately €4,000-€7,000 to reach a B1 rating, potentially unlocking an additional 3-5% in market value based on comparable B1 rated properties within a 20km radius.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Access to public transport in Virginia, Co. Cavan is primarily via Bus Éireann routes such as the 182 to Dublin City Centre, offering a direct link to the capital.
Local Amenities: The property is located in Virginia, which typically offers essential amenities like supermarkets (e.g., SuperValu), local pharmacies, and primary schools such as St. Mary's National School.
Walkability: The Drumlins development itself offers pedestrian pathways, and Virginia town centre is generally walkable for daily necessities, with local parks and the Virginia Show Centre providing recreational spaces.
Hypothesis: The limited direct public transport options beyond Bus Éireann routes to Dublin may create a perceived disconnect for commuters, suggesting that any future infrastructure development, such as improved local bus services or enhanced park-and-ride facilities, would significantly boost property values in this area.
