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
Major Energy Upgrade Needed: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a B2 would likely cost €12,000-€18,000, potentially increasing property value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €2,500-€3,000 to €900-€1,300.
Compact Living Space: At 67.0m², this 2-bedroom semi-detached property is on the smaller side for family accommodation, potentially limiting appeal to larger households.
Value Optimization Opportunity: The G BER rating represents a significant opportunity for value optimization; investing in insulation, heating systems, and window upgrades could yield a substantial return on investment through increased saleability and energy savings.
Hypothesis: Given the G BER rating and size, the property's current estimated value is heavily discounted due to its condition and efficiency, implying that a comprehensive renovation focused on energy performance and modernization could unlock a premium of 15-20% over its current estimated value.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: Castleblayney is served by Bus Éireann routes like the 175, connecting to regional hubs, but lacks direct train or Luas links, necessitating onward travel for major city connectivity.
Local Services Accessible: The town centre offers essential retail with Lidl and a Centra supermarket, along with local cafes and restaurants, providing daily convenience within walking distance.
Educational Access: St. Mary's National School and Castleblayney College are located within 1km, offering convenient local educational options for families.
Hypothesis: The property's value is primarily driven by its affordability and local amenities within Castleblayney itself, rather than its proximity to major urban centres, suggesting that its appeal is strongest to those prioritizing a rural lifestyle with essential services nearby.
