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 Required: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and significantly reducing energy costs.
Standard Size for Type: At 79.0m², this 3-bedroom bungalow is of a medium size, aligning with typical configurations for properties of this type in many areas.
Value Optimization Opportunity: The G BER rating indicates substantial opportunity for value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, as properties with D ratings within a 20km radius sold for a median of €260,000, €30,000 less than the current asking price.
Hypothesis: Given the G BER rating, a strategic investment in insulation, a new heating system, and improved glazing, costing an estimated €10,000-€15,000, could see the property's value increase by €20,000-€25,000, moving it closer to the €285,000 median sale price for properties with better BER ratings within a 10km radius.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The immediate Ballycommon area has limited direct public transport links, with the nearest significant service likely requiring travel to a larger town such as Tullamore for services like Bus Éireann routes to Dublin.
Essential Local Services: Ballinagar village, within a short drive, offers essential local amenities including a primary school and local shops, catering to day-to-day needs.
Rural Connectivity: While not directly on major transport arteries, the property's location offers peaceful rural living, with Tullamore (approximately 10-15 minutes drive) providing wider shopping, healthcare at the Midland Regional Hospital, and secondary education facilities.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Ballycommon, R35N446, suggests that while it offers a rural lifestyle, its value proposition is heavily tied to proximity to larger hubs like Tullamore. An increase in local public transport frequency or the development of a park-and-ride facility closer to Dublin could significantly boost its appeal and value by reducing commute times and improving connectivity.
