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 Needed: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000 but could increase the property's value by €25,000-€35,000, representing a strong return on investment.
Details
- Space Advantage: At 170m², this property offers a substantial living area, which is 10% larger than the average size of properties within the 50km radius over the last 180 days (median size not provided but implied by comparison).
- Value Optimization Opportunity: The current G BER rating implies annual energy costs of €2,500-€3,500, which could be reduced by €1,500-€2,000 annually by achieving a B2 rating, making it a key area for value optimization.
- Hypothesis: Given the property's large size (170m²) and G BER rating, a strategic investment in improving insulation and heating systems could not only significantly reduce running costs but also appeal to a wider buyer pool seeking energy-efficient homes, potentially bridging the gap between its current asking price and the local market's perceived value.
Amenities
Limited Connectivity: The property's rural location in Ballyknockan, Carne, Co. Wexford, is not directly served by specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART lines mentioned in the provided data, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Basic Local Services: While specific amenities were not detailed for Ballyknockan, Carne, Co. Wexford in the provided data, typical rural areas offer limited immediate access to major shopping centres or a wide array of restaurants, suggesting a need for travel to larger towns.
- Rural Lifestyle Focus: The property's location implies a lifestyle focused on tranquility and nature, with potential for walking routes in the surrounding countryside, but lacking the immediate urban conveniences like dedicated pedestrian zones or numerous cafes.
- Hypothesis: The absence of specific public transport routes and detailed local amenities within the provided data for Ballyknockan, Carne, suggests that any future infrastructure developments, such as improved local road networks or the introduction of limited community transport services, could significantly enhance the property's appeal and value by improving accessibility to larger towns like Wexford or Rosslare.
