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
BER Unknown Impact: With a BER rating of SI_666 (effectively unknown/non-compliant for standard ratings), this property likely incurs higher annual energy costs compared to properties with a C or B rating, potentially €1,000-€1,500 more per year, impacting its long-term value.
Details
- Significant Size, Limited Data: The property's substantial size of 70,823m² is significantly larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found in sales data within 100km, indicating it is an outlier and making direct comparison difficult without further land value assessment.
- Upgrade Potential: Given the unknown BER, investing in insulation, a modern heating system, and window upgrades could cost approximately €15,000-€25,000 but could potentially increase the property's market value by €20,000-€35,000 and significantly reduce annual energy expenditure.
- Hypothesis: The significant disparity between the property's large size and the typical 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration in nearby sales, coupled with an unknown BER, points towards a property that might be valued primarily for its land and potential for bespoke development rather than its current structural quality and energy efficiency, suggesting a niche buyer profile.
Amenities
Remote Connectivity: With no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas stops mentioned as serving Barran, Blacklion directly, this property's connectivity likely relies on private transport, requiring a significant drive to reach major public transport hubs.
Details
- Limited Local Services: Information on specific schools like 'St. Joseph's National School' or healthcare facilities like 'St. Joseph's Community Hospital' in the immediate vicinity is absent, suggesting potential travel for essential services.
- Rural Lifestyle Focus: The lack of data on specific shops, cafes, or parks within easy walking distance indicates that amenities in Barran, Blacklion, are geared towards a rural lifestyle, prioritizing space over urban convenience.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Barran, Blacklion, suggests a market where lifestyle amenities and natural surroundings, rather than urban connectivity, are the primary drivers of desirability, with potential buyers likely prioritizing a rural escape over proximity to urban centres or extensive public transport networks.
