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 C3 Standard: The C3 BER rating indicates moderate energy efficiency, suggesting potential for improved annual savings with targeted upgrades.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With a size of 120m² and 5 bedrooms, the property offers a good space-to-bedroom ratio, providing ample living area for a family.
- Upgrade Opportunity: Improving from a C3 BER to a B2 rating could involve costs of €6,000-€10,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, representing a sound investment.
- Hypothesis: While the current C3 BER rating is acceptable, the property's value could be significantly enhanced by investing in insulation and heating upgrades, targeting a B1 or A3 rating. This would not only reduce annual energy costs by an estimated €500-€800 compared to its current rating but also align it with increasingly stringent energy efficiency expectations, potentially adding a further €10,000-€20,000 in resale value in the medium term.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Bettystown is served by Dublin Bus routes 101 and 103, offering direct links to Dublin city centre, and is within reasonable driving distance of Laytown train station for commuter services.
Details
- Local Educational Hub: The area boasts multiple educational facilities, including Gaelscoil Phortlairge and St. Mary's National School, along with Coláiste na hIníonce nearby, providing good options for families.
- Retail and Leisure Access: Residents have access to local shops in Bettystown village, with larger retail parks and shopping centres like Drogheda Town Centre within a short drive, offering diverse shopping and dining options.
- Hypothesis: The ongoing development of the 'Boyne Valley to Dublin Cycle Network' project, which aims to improve cycling infrastructure and connectivity between towns like Drogheda and Bettystown, presents a significant future amenity. This could enhance walkability and cycleability, reduce reliance on public transport for shorter journeys, and potentially increase local property values by an estimated 3-5% over the next 3-5 years due to improved sustainable transport options.
