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
Pending BER: The BER rating is pending, meaning potential buyers lack crucial energy efficiency information, which could impact long-term running costs and resale value.
Compact Footprint: At 60m², this 3-bedroom bungalow is relatively small, suggesting efficient use of space but potentially limited living area for families compared to larger local properties.
Minor Updates Potential: With 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms, there may be an opportunity to add value through a second bathroom renovation, potentially costing €5,000-€10,000 and increasing desirability.
Hypothesis: Given the bungalow's size and pending BER, future value enhancement could be significant if a positive BER rating is achieved and minor renovations like a second bathroom are implemented, especially if local comparable sales show a premium for improved energy efficiency and updated facilities.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: Attanagh, Abbeyleix, Co. Laois is outside Dublin and does not appear to be directly served by specific bus routes like Dublin Bus 25, 66, 67, nor is it near Luas or DART stations.
Local Services Available: The area benefits from basic local amenities, with Abbeyleix town offering primary schools like Scoil Mhuire SNS, secondary education at Scoil Mhuire, and local shops and healthcare facilities within driving distance.
Rural Lifestyle: The location offers a more rural lifestyle with access to natural surroundings, though walkability to extensive amenities like parks or large shopping centres is limited, requiring car transport for most needs.
Hypothesis: The property's 'outside Dublin' location suggests that its value growth will be more closely tied to regional infrastructure developments and the attractiveness of Abbeyleix as a service town, rather than proximity to major urban transport hubs.
