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 A3 Advantage: The A3 BER rating means annual energy costs are likely €800-€1,200, potentially saving €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to a D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Spacious Living: At 110m², this property offers a comfortable living space, aligning well with the median of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the 10km radius, suggesting good configuration for families.
- Value Optimisation: The 110m² size and A3 BER rating provide a strong foundation; further optimisation could involve cosmetic upgrades to align with current interior design trends to potentially achieve a 5-10% increase on its current estimated value of €308,961.
- Hypothesis: Given the A3 BER rating, a future investment in enhancing this to an A1 rating, costing an estimated €5,000-€8,000, could boost the property's value by an additional €10,000-€15,000 due to increasing buyer demand for peak energy efficiency, especially outside major urban centres.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: As it's outside Dublin, direct links to Dublin city via DART or Luas are absent; nearest train services would require travel to Portlaoise (approx. 15km).
Details
- Local Services: The Stradbally area offers essential amenities like a local primary school, pharmacy, and small retail outlets, supporting daily needs within a short drive.
- Green Spaces: Residents have access to local walking routes and potentially countryside trails, contributing to a good quality of life for those seeking a quieter environment.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Ballaghmore, Stradbally, Co. Laois, while offering a rural feel, means any reliance on public transport for commuting to larger employment hubs like Dublin would involve significant travel time and multiple changes, making car dependency high and potentially limiting its appeal to a specific buyer demographic focused on a provincial lifestyle.
