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
Spacious Family Home: This 170m² detached property with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms offers generous living space, aligning with the strong demand for larger family homes, reflected in the 4-bedroom median for sales within a 10km radius.
Details
- Efficient BER C1: With a C1 BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, potentially resulting in annual energy cost savings of €700-€800 compared to a D-rated property of similar size, which might incur annual costs of €2,200-€2,800.
- Upgrade Value Potential: While already good, an upgrade from C1 to a B2 BER could further enhance value and market appeal, potentially adding €8,000-€12,000 to the property's value for an estimated investment of €4,000-€8,000.
- Hypothesis: The property's combination of a sought-after detached type, generous size, and good BER rating positions it as a desirable, long-term asset, likely to outperform smaller or less efficient properties in future market upturns, particularly as energy costs remain a key buyer consideration.
Amenities
Strategic Transport Links: The property benefits from its proximity to Longford Train Station, approximately 6km away, offering direct rail services to Dublin Connolly and Sligo, alongside convenient access to Bus Éireann Route 23 which serves Longford town.
Details
- Local Convenience & Education: Essential services are well within reach, including Newtownforbes National School and Little Learners Childcare (both likely within 1km), a local Spar shop (within 1km), and Newtownforbes Medical Centre, providing excellent daily convenience.
- Enhanced Lifestyle Access: Residents have access to a range of lifestyle amenities, with The Bent Elbow pub in Newtownforbes (within 1km), and broader options like Longford Town Park and major supermarkets (Dunnes Stores, Tesco) just a 5-6km drive in Longford town.
- Hypothesis: The property's blend of immediate village amenities and rapid access to Longford town's broader services creates a unique appeal, suggesting a premium for its semi-rural tranquility combined with practical urban connectivity, especially for families seeking a balanced lifestyle.
