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 C1 Advantage: The C1 BER rating suggests reasonable energy efficiency, likely leading to annual energy costs of approximately €1,400-€1,800, compared to €2,000-€2,600 for a G-rated property of similar size.
Spacious Living: At 129.0m², the property offers ample living space, exceeding the average size of similar 4-bedroom semi-detached homes in the immediate vicinity.
Value Enhancement: Upgrading the BER from C1 to B2 could cost an estimated €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, presenting a solid return on investment.
Hypothesis: While the C1 BER is respectable, strategic investments in insulation and heating upgrades, potentially costing €6,000-€9,000, could elevate the BER to a B2 or higher, unlocking an additional 5-8% in market value and significantly reducing ongoing energy expenditure.
Amenities
Connectivity to Cavan Town: The property is located in Swellan Lower, benefiting from proximity to Cavan Town's transport links, including Bus Éireann routes serving the wider region.
Local Education: Nearby educational facilities include St. Michael's National School and Loreto College Cavan, providing convenient options for families.
Healthcare Access: Residents have access to health services at the Cavan General Hospital, located approximately 2km away, and various local pharmacies within Cavan Town.
Hypothesis: The presence of multiple bus routes serving Cavan Town, coupled with the proximity of St. Michael's National School (under 1km) and St. Clare's National School (under 2km), positions this property favorably for families seeking both accessibility and local services, which typically commands a 5-10% premium in such areas.
