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 Rating Improvement: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, but would likely increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a positive return on investment.
Space Efficiency: With 136sqm, the property offers a generous amount of living space for a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached home, which is competitive for its size and type in the current market.
Value Optimization: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades for the D1 BER rating could reduce annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200, while simultaneously enhancing the property's market appeal.
Hypothesis: The D1 BER rating, while common, represents a significant opportunity for value uplift; properties in this area with higher BER ratings (A or B) command an average of €1,000-€1,400 less in annual energy costs, and targeting a B2 rating could position this property to attract buyers prioritizing long-term savings and environmental impact.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Dundalk benefits from the nearby Dundalk train station providing frequent services to Dublin Connolly and Belfast, alongside numerous local bus routes such as the 164 and 165 connecting residents to various parts of the town and surrounding areas.
Educational Facilities: The area is well-served with educational institutions including St. Joseph's Secondary School and Gaelscoil Dhún Dealgan, alongside Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT), ensuring ample options for all age groups.
Healthcare and Retail: Residents have convenient access to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda (approx. 30 mins drive) and local healthcare services, plus a variety of shopping options from the Marshes Shopping Centre to local retailers and supermarkets.
Hypothesis: The presence of strong public transport links, particularly the train station offering direct routes to major cities, combined with a range of educational and retail facilities, creates a compelling lifestyle proposition that could support continued property value appreciation, especially as infrastructure development in the region progresses.
