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 Potential: With a D1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 but is estimated to increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a strong return on investment.
Size Advantage: At 169m², this property is very large for its 2-bedroom configuration, offering substantial living space that could be reconfigured or extended to add significant value.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the D1 BER rating, estimated annual energy costs are likely between €1,800-€2,200, whereas a comparable B2 rated property of similar size would incur costs of €800-€1,200 annually, presenting a clear opportunity for cost savings through upgrades.
Hypothesis: The juxtaposition of a large, potentially underpriced detached house with a low BER rating suggests a prime candidate for renovation and energy efficiency improvements, which, if executed strategically, could unlock substantial capital growth in this segment of the market.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: As a rural property in Carne, Co. Wexford, direct public transport links are sparse; the nearest significant bus services would likely be from larger towns like Wexford Town, requiring onward travel.
Community Focus: The property is located in a rural setting with limited immediate commercial amenities; the closest services, such as supermarkets and healthcare, would be in nearby towns like Kilmore or Wexford Town, necessitating car travel.
Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The location offers a tranquil lifestyle with access to coastal areas and countryside walks, appealing to those seeking a quieter pace of life away from urban centres.
Hypothesis: The property's rural isolation, while contributing to a lower asking price, may present a significant challenge for buyers reliant on public transport or seeking immediate access to a wide range of amenities, potentially limiting its buyer pool to those with private transport and a preference for a secluded environment.
