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 Efficiency: With a B3 BER rating, this property is in the upper quartile of energy efficiency, suggesting lower annual energy costs compared to an average D-rated property (estimated €1,800-€2,200 vs €800-€1,200).
Space and Configuration: The 106m² size with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is a standard and desirable configuration for a semi-detached home, aligning well with the median 3 beds and 2 baths observed across various radii.
Value Optimization Potential: While the BER is good, further insulation upgrades or solar panel installation could potentially enhance energy savings and property value, with estimated upgrade costs to A-rated status potentially in the €10,000-€15,000 range, offering a return on investment through energy bill reductions.
Hypothesis: The B3 rating, while good, leaves room for optimization to an A-rating; a targeted investment of €10,000-€15,000 could unlock an estimated €500-€1,000 in annual energy savings and a potential property value increase of 5-8%.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes serving Clogherhead aren't detailed, its 'Outside Dublin' location implies potential reliance on regional bus services like Bus Éireann routes and limited direct access to major public transport hubs like train stations.
Local Services Access: Clogherhead offers basic local amenities, likely including a primary school, local shops, and potentially a pharmacy, with more extensive retail and healthcare options requiring travel to nearby towns like Drogheda.
Coastal Lifestyle Appeal: The Oriel Cove address suggests proximity to coastal walks and beaches, offering a desirable lifestyle amenity for residents interested in outdoor activities and a more relaxed pace of life.
Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' designation for Clogherhead indicates that commuter benefits to the capital would likely require significant travel time or multiple transport changes, making local employment and amenities key drivers of property value rather than proximity to Dublin city centre.
