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.

- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a C or B rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a clear return on investment.
Spacious Accommodation: With 120.0m² of living space, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached property offers ample room, exceeding typical space requirements for similar properties in many areas, providing good value for its size.
Value Optimization: While the property is priced attractively, its D1 BER rating represents the primary area for immediate value optimization, as improvements could significantly enhance its market appeal and long-term cost-efficiency.
Hypothesis: Investing in a BER upgrade from D1 to B2 would not only directly increase the property's market value by an estimated €15,000-€20,000 but also align it with evolving buyer preferences for energy efficiency, potentially shortening its time on market in the future.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Specific public transport routes serving Fahan, Inch, Co. Donegal (F93TH73) are not detailed in the provided data, suggesting potential reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Local Services Focus: While specific details are absent, locations like Fahan generally offer access to local primary schools, shops, and potentially a local health clinic or pharmacy, catering to daily needs.
Walkability Assessment: Walkability in rural and semi-rural areas like Fahan typically depends on local infrastructure; specific walking routes and pedestrian access are not detailed in the provided data.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific transport and amenity data for Fahan, Inch, Co. Donegal suggests that its appeal is likely tied to its natural surroundings and a more tranquil lifestyle, meaning buyers are likely seeking a rural escape rather than urban convenience, thus impacting its premium for transport-centric buyers.
