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 Upgrade Potential: With an E1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 but could potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Energy Cost Discrepancy: An E1 BER rating suggests annual energy costs of approximately €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 estimated for B-rated properties of similar size in the region.
- Size Efficiency: At 40m², this one-bedroom apartment is on the smaller end of the spectrum within the local market, where the median number of bedrooms is 3.0, suggesting potential limitations for families or those seeking more space.
- Hypothesis: The E1 BER rating, combined with the small apartment size of 40m², presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement through targeted energy upgrades and potentially a modest extension or re-configuration, which could align its value more closely with the 3-bedroom median properties prevalent in the 100km radius market.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: This property is located in Westport, Co. Mayo, which does not have Luas, DART, or direct Dublin Bus routes serving the immediate area; nearest services would require significant travel.
Details
- Local Retail and Services: While specific shops and services are not detailed in the provided data, Westport is known for its vibrant local retail scene, including supermarkets like Aldi and Dunnes Stores, and a range of restaurants and cafes on James Street and surrounding areas.
- Healthcare Access: Mayo University Hospital is located in Castlebar, approximately a 30-minute drive from Westport, with local medical centres and pharmacies available within the town itself.
- Hypothesis: Given Westport's designation as a tourist hub with a strong local community, the property's appeal is likely to be driven more by its lifestyle amenities and walkability within the town centre, rather than connectivity to major urban transport networks like those found in Dublin, suggesting a focus on local resident or holiday home market.
