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
Substantial BER Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading from the current C2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 58m², this 1-bedroom apartment is in the medium size category, aligning with its bed count but potentially offering less space than the median 3-bedroom properties typically sold in the wider market.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the C2 BER is acceptable, targeted energy efficiency upgrades could significantly enhance its market appeal and reduce long-term running costs, especially compared to the 100km 180d BER unknown percentage of 100%.
- Hypothesis: The current C2 BER rating, while functional, represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; investing in insulation and heating upgrades, costing approximately €7,000, could achieve a B1 rating, translating to an estimated €12,000-€18,000 uplift in market value and an annual saving of €600-€900 on energy costs compared to a D-rated property.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport Links: Ballina is served by Bus Éireann routes, but specific route numbers are not provided; however, the nearest train station is Ballina Train Station, offering connections to Dublin Heuston.
Details
- Local Conveniences Available: Within Ballina town, residents can access essential services including pharmacies, supermarkets like Aldi and Tesco, and local healthcare facilities such as the Mount Falcon Medical Centre.
- Walkable Town Centre Access: Earls Mews is located within walking distance of Ballina town centre, providing easy access to restaurants like Davies Fish & Chips, cafes, and the popular Belleek Park for recreational activities.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Ballina, Co. Mayo, a regional hub with existing infrastructure, suggests that while direct public transport may be limited compared to urban centres, proposed regional development plans for improved road networks and potential greenway expansions could significantly boost connectivity and desirability in the next 5-10 years.
