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
Significant BER Upgrade Potential: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a C1 rating could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000 but could increase property value by €25,000-€30,000, representing a solid return on investment.
Details
- Below Average Size: The 68m² size of this terrace property is smaller than the median of 3 bedrooms and likely a higher floor area in the wider 100km market where the median number of bedrooms is 3.
- Energy Cost Burden: A G BER rating implies annual energy costs of approximately €2,500-€3,000, which is significantly higher than the €1,000-€1,500 for a C-rated property of similar size in the region.
- Hypothesis: The low BER rating presents a substantial opportunity for value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, and with careful investment, this property could significantly improve its market appeal and long-term operating costs, potentially narrowing the gap to the €209,000 median sale price.
Amenities
Regional Connectivity: While the data does not specify local transport routes for Donegal Town, the broader 100km radius shows an average of 467 monthly sales, indicating a reasonably active regional market, suggesting potential access to regional transport hubs.
Details
- Local Service Access: Donegal Town offers a range of amenities including primary and secondary schools, supermarkets like Tesco and Lidl, and healthcare facilities such as the Lifford Community Hospital, accessible within a reasonable distance from Water Street.
- Walkability and Local Services: 8 Water Street's location within Donegal Town itself suggests good walkability to local shops, cafes, and services, with the town centre offering amenities that enhance daily living.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific transport route data for Donegal Town within the provided metrics highlights a potential informational gap; however, its status as a county town implies a concentration of essential services and transport links that, if confirmed, would significantly bolster the property's attractiveness and value proposition.
