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 Advantage: With a B3 BER rating, this property is positioned favorably, likely resulting in annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600, which is €400-€800 less than comparable D-rated properties of similar size in the area.
Size and Space: At 149.0m², this property offers substantial living space, exceeding the typical size for an end-of-terrace property, providing excellent value for families or those requiring ample room.
Value Optimization: While already B3, upgrading to a B2 BER rating could cost an estimated €2,000-€4,000, potentially increasing its market value by €5,000-€8,000 and further reducing energy bills by an additional €200-€400 annually.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating provides a strong foundation for energy efficiency, and with minimal investment in specific insulation upgrades or window enhancements, this property could achieve an A3/B2 rating, significantly enhancing its appeal and value in a market increasingly focused on sustainable living.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Monaghan Town is served by Bus Éireann routes 63, 175, and 181, providing regional connectivity, though direct Luas or DART services are not available locally.
Educational Facilities: The property is in proximity to Gaelscoil Ultain, St. Louis Girls' Primary School, and Monaghan Collegiate School, offering a range of educational options for families.
Lifestyle and Retail: Nearby amenities include Monaghan Shopping Centre, Tesco, and Lidl for retail needs, with local restaurants like Whitean and The Squealing Pig contributing to the town's social scene.
Hypothesis: While Monaghan Town offers solid local amenities and bus connectivity, the absence of urban rail links (Luas/DART) positions it as a strong candidate for potential future infrastructure investment, such as improved commuter bus services to larger hubs, which could significantly boost property values.
