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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the E2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, with potential value increases of €15,000-€20,000, offering a tangible return on investment.
Details
- Size Efficiency: The 120m² property offers a good living space for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home, aligning with the median 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms observed in markets within 10km and 100km radii.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the E2 BER, significant energy cost savings are achievable through upgrades, potentially reducing annual energy bills by €1,000-€1,400 compared to properties with a D rating, with a lower cost for an E2 than typical D-rated homes.
- Hypothesis: The E2 BER rating, while indicating a need for upgrades, presents a prime opportunity for value enhancement; strategically investing in insulation, heating, and ventilation could not only improve energy efficiency from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 annual cost for an E2 to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated equivalent but also directly boost the property's market appeal and resale value, turning a current weakness into a future strength.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport Links: Swinford is not directly served by national rail lines or Luas/DART services, meaning transport connectivity relies heavily on local bus services like Bus Éireann routes which are not specified in the data, requiring further investigation for specific commuter routes.
Details
- Local Services Accessibility: While specific town amenities are not detailed, Swinford generally offers essential services like primary schools (e.g., Scoil Mhuire) and local shops, but access to larger retail centres or specialized healthcare would likely require travel to larger towns like Castlebar.
- Walkability and Green Space: The property is situated in a residential area (70 Sancta Maria) which suggests reasonable walkability to local amenities within Swinford town, and likely proximity to local parks or green spaces typical of Co Mayo towns, though specific named parks are not provided.
- Hypothesis: The property's location outside Dublin suggests a reliance on local infrastructure and community development; future value appreciation in Swinford could be significantly influenced by planned or ongoing investments in public transport links, digital connectivity, and the development of further retail and community facilities to attract a wider demographic.
