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 Efficiency: With a BER rating of 'C', this bungalow offers moderate energy efficiency, likely incurring annual energy costs in the range of €1,500-€1,900, which is €300-€700 higher than a B-rated property of similar size.
Size and Space: The property offers 130m² of living space with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a standard configuration for family homes, aligning with common buyer needs.
Value Optimization: While the BER is 'C', targeted upgrades to achieve a 'B' rating (e.g., improved insulation, heating system) could cost approximately €7,000-€10,000, potentially increasing the property's market value by €10,000-€15,000 and reducing annual running costs.
Hypothesis: The 'C' BER rating represents an opportunity for value enhancement; investing in energy efficiency upgrades could not only reduce long-term running costs by an estimated €300-€700 annually but also enhance resale value, making it a strategic investment for buyers prioritizing sustainability and lower utility bills.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not provided, Bagenalstown is served by local bus services connecting to Carlow town, offering a baseline for public transport access outside major urban centres.
Local Services: The area provides access to essential amenities including schools like Bagenalstown Primary School and Presentation Secondary School, and local shops and pharmacies supporting daily needs.
Lifestyle & Recreation: Residents can enjoy local parks and recreational facilities within Bagenalstown, and proximity to scenic countryside for outdoor activities.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Bagenalstown, while offering reasonable local amenities and connectivity within Co. Carlow, may present a challenge for daily commuters to Dublin, requiring a significant travel time or reliance on private transport, which could cap its appeal to a purely local buyer base.
