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
Moderate BER Investment: With a C1 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, offering a good return on investment.
Spacious Living Area: At 315m², the property offers substantial living space, which is likely above the average for comparable properties in the surrounding rural areas, providing excellent value for its size.
Upgrade Potential: The property's 4 bathrooms suggest a good configuration for a 5-bedroom home, but ensuring modern fixtures and fittings throughout would optimize its appeal and market value.
Hypothesis: Given the C1 BER, a strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades, targeting a B1 or A3 rating, could not only reduce annual energy costs by an estimated €800-€1,200 compared to a D-rated property but also significantly enhance its long-term marketability in an increasingly climate-conscious property market.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific Dublin Bus routes, Luas, or DART stations listed as serving Elfeet, Newtowncashel directly, suggesting a reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Local Services Required: Specific local schools, healthcare facilities, or significant retail centres are not detailed, indicating that residents would likely need to travel to larger towns for comprehensive amenities.
Rural Lifestyle Focus: The property's location suggests a focus on rural lifestyle amenities, likely including local parks, walking trails along Lough Ree, and quiet country roads rather than urban conveniences.
Hypothesis: The lack of readily available public transport and detailed urban amenities in the immediate vicinity suggests that the property's appeal is strongly tied to its rural setting, and future value appreciation will be more dependent on improvements to regional infrastructure connecting Longford to major employment hubs rather than hyperlocal amenity development.
