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 Rating Limitation: The SI_666 BER rating indicates potential for significant energy cost savings through upgrades, with an estimated €10,000-€15,000 investment to reach a B2 rating, potentially increasing value by €20,000-€25,000.
Space Efficiency: At 120.0m², the property offers a comfortable living space, but the 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom configuration might limit its appeal in a market segment valuing more bathrooms or additional bedrooms for larger families.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the SI_666 BER, investing in insulation, heating system upgrades, and window replacements (estimated €10,000-€15,000) could yield a significant return on investment, enhancing both marketability and long-term running costs.
Hypothesis: The SI_666 BER rating, while below current standards, suggests an older construction likely with significant potential for thermal efficiency improvements. If a comparable property with an improved BER rating (e.g., B2) sold for €50,000 more within 1km, it would justify a €15,000 upgrade investment to recoup the cost and potentially profit.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Based on the Taghmon, Co Wexford location, direct access to specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART services serving the immediate area is not evident in the provided data, suggesting reliance on private transport.
Rural Amenities: Taghmon offers essential local amenities, likely including primary schools, local shops, and healthcare services; however, comprehensive retail and lifestyle options would necessitate travel to larger towns like Wexford town.
Commuter Challenge: The property's location outside Dublin, with no specific public transport routes mentioned, implies a potentially long and complex commute to the capital, making it less attractive for daily commuters.
Hypothesis: The limited specific amenity data for Taghmon suggests a strong reliance on car ownership. The median sale price within 1km (€169,000) versus 10km (€320,000) indicates that proximity to a wider range of amenities and transport links, typically found in larger towns, strongly influences property values in Co. Wexford.
