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 Investment Opportunity: Upgrading the C2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase property value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a return on investment.
Details
- Generous Living Space: With 141.0m² and 5 bedrooms, this property offers 28.2m² per bedroom, exceeding the typical median of 3 bedrooms for properties within 100km, providing ample space.
- Value Optimization: While the C2 BER is acceptable, investing in energy efficiency upgrades, potentially to a B2 rating, could reduce annual energy costs by €400-€600 compared to its current state, enhancing long-term value.
- Hypothesis: The property's C2 BER rating, while not poor, presents a missed opportunity for significant value enhancement; a targeted €7,500 investment in insulation and heating upgrades could unlock a €12,500 uplift in value and immediately lower running costs, making it more competitive against higher-rated properties in the wider region.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Ballina is served by Bus Éireann routes, including the 440 to Sligo and the 446 to Galway, connecting residents to regional hubs.
Details
- Local Amenities: Residents have access to Ballina town centre amenities, including shops like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, as well as healthcare facilities such as the Mayo University Hospital - Ballina.
- Family Facilities: The area offers educational options like St. Muredach's College and Quay National School, along with family services, enhancing its appeal for families.
- Hypothesis: While Ballina offers standard regional town amenities, the lack of specific mention of higher-order services like a university campus or direct high-speed rail links within the immediate vicinity suggests that the property's value appreciation potential might be more closely tied to localized infrastructure improvements and regional connectivity upgrades rather than national transport hubs.
