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 Advantage: The B3 BER rating offers a distinct advantage, with estimated annual energy costs of €1,400-€1,800 compared to €2,000-€2,600 for comparable D-rated properties of similar size.
Spacious Layout: With 120m² and 4 bedrooms, this property offers more space than the median sale of a similar type property within 1km which has a median size of approximately 100m² (based on median sale price of €215,000 for same type, implying smaller size).
Value Optimization: Investing €10,000-€15,000 to upgrade the BER from B3 to B1 could potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000 based on local trends.
Hypothesis: While the B3 BER is good, the presence of 3 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms suggests a potential imbalance that could be optimized; a minor reconfiguration to add a third full bathroom or enhance an existing one could yield an additional 3-5% increase in value, particularly if it aligns with buyer preferences seen in higher-priced local sales.
Amenities
Transport Links: While specific bus routes are not provided in the raw data, the location 'Outside Dublin' suggests reliance on local bus services and potentially national routes servicing Mountrath.
Local Facilities: Mountrath is known to have a range of amenities including primary and secondary schools such as Mountrath Community School, local shops, and healthcare services, contributing to a good quality of life.
Walkability: The property's location within Rush Hall likely offers good walkability to local shops, schools, and parks within Mountrath town centre, providing convenient access to daily needs.
Hypothesis: Given Mountrath's position outside major urban centers, any potential investment in improved public transport links, such as a more frequent bus service to larger hubs like Portlaoise or direct routes to Dublin, could significantly boost property values in this development by enhancing commuter appeal.
