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
Excellent BER: The B1 BER rating is a significant advantage, offering superior energy efficiency compared to the 100% unknown BER rating average in the wider market over the past 180 days.
Details
- Spacious Living: At 285.0m², this property is considerably larger than the median 3-bedroom property in the 100km radius, offering ample living space for a family.
- Value Optimization: While the BER is good, a further upgrade to A3 could potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, with estimated costs of €8,000-€12,000 for such improvements.
- Hypothesis: The current B1 BER rating of this property provides an estimated annual energy cost saving of €1,000-€1,400 compared to properties with a D-rating within a 100km radius, making it an attractive long-term investment for energy-conscious buyers.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: The provided data does not specify any direct bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops serving Ballacolla, indicating a reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Details
- Basic Retail Access: Specific local shops, supermarkets, or shopping centers in Ballacolla are not detailed, suggesting amenities may be limited or require travel to larger towns.
- Rural Connectivity: Being 'Outside Dublin' and the lack of specific transport data implies limited commuter options to major employment hubs without significant travel time.
- Hypothesis: The lack of readily available public transport and retail amenities within close proximity to Ballacolla suggests that the primary appeal of this property lies in its rural setting and spaciousness, rather than its connectivity to urban centers or convenient access to daily services.
