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 Upgrade Potential: Upgrading this C1 BER rating apartment to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing its value by €15,000-€20,000 and attracting a wider buyer pool.
Details
- Size vs. Local Average: At 77.0m², this apartment is of a medium size, aligning with many properties in the area but offering less space than the median 3-bed, 2-bath properties typically seen with a sale price of €300,000+ within a 20km radius.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: With a C1 BER, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,800-€2,200; upgrading to a B2 rating could save €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to D-rated properties, making it a more competitive offering.
- Hypothesis: The current BER rating of C1, while not poor, represents a missed opportunity for immediate value enhancement. Investment in insulation and heating upgrades totaling €8,000-€12,000 could unlock a significant portion of the €15,000-€20,000 value increase predicted by moving to a B2, directly addressing a key differentiator in today's market where buyers increasingly prioritize running costs.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: This property is located in Drogheda, Co. Louth, which is served by Drogheda Train Station, offering direct rail links to Dublin Connolly, and multiple Bus Éireann routes connecting to Dublin and surrounding towns.
Details
- Local Shopping & Services: Nearby amenities include Scotch Hall Shopping Centre, numerous supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, and essential services such as pharmacies and healthcare clinics within a short drive or walk.
- Educational Facilities: The area is well-supported by educational institutions, including St. Mary's Diocesan School, Drogheda Grammar School, and Drogheda Institute of Further Education, providing options for various age groups.
- Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' designation is a key factor, implying a trade-off between property price and commute time. While Drogheda offers essential amenities and transport links, the absence of Luas or DART access means a longer daily commute to Dublin city centre compared to properties within the greater Dublin area, which may cap its premium appeal despite local strengths.
