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 Pending: The BER rating is pending, requiring assessment to determine potential energy efficiency costs and value.
Size Efficiency: At 120m², this 3-bedroom bungalow offers a good living space, with a price per sqm of approximately €2,325 based on the asking price.
Value Optimization: Assuming a 'D' rating, upgrading to a 'B2' could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially add €15,000-€20,000 in value, representing a sound investment.
Hypothesis: Given the pending BER, if the property achieves a rating of C or better, its appeal to buyers focused on running costs will significantly increase, potentially commanding a premium of €10,000-€15,000 over comparable D-rated properties of similar size and location.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes aren't listed, Pollerton Road is a known artery in Carlow, likely served by local bus services connecting to the town centre and regional routes.
Local Services: Carlow town centre, approximately 1km away, offers extensive retail including Fairgreen Shopping Centre, supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, and various healthcare facilities.
Educational & Family Focus: The area is well-served by educational facilities including Carlow Institute of Technology, Carlow Educate Together National School, and Scoil Mhuire gan Smál, with numerous parks and playgrounds nearby.
Hypothesis: The proximity to Carlow town centre, coupled with its status as a regional hub, suggests that properties on Pollerton Road benefit from a 'gateway' effect, attracting buyers from surrounding rural areas seeking convenience and access to a wider range of amenities, thereby supporting consistent demand.
