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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Size Efficiency: With 126m² spread across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a good balance of living space, though internal configuration optimization could be explored.
- Current Value vs. Potential: The property's estimated value of €289,674.16 is based on its current D1 BER rating; significant value uplift is achievable through energy efficiency improvements.
- Hypothesis: The current D1 BER rating, while indicative of moderate energy performance, significantly caps the property's immediate valuation potential. Investing in targeted insulation, heating system upgrades, and potentially renewable energy sources could not only reduce ongoing energy expenses by an estimated €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to similar D-rated properties but also unlock a substantial portion of its untapped market value.
Amenities
Connectivity Hub: Castlebar benefits from the presence of Bus Éireann services, providing regional connectivity. Nearest train station is Castlebar Train Station, connecting to wider national rail networks.
Details
- Local Amenities: Proximity to Mayo General Hospital ensures excellent healthcare access. Shopping facilities include TF Royal Hotel & Theatre, and various local shops and supermarkets in Castlebar town centre.
- Educational and Family Facilities: The area is served by schools such as St. Joseph's Primary School and Davitt College, alongside various childcare facilities within Castlebar, making it a potentially family-friendly location.
- Hypothesis: While Castlebar offers a good range of local amenities and basic connectivity, the lack of direct, high-frequency public transport to major employment hubs or international airports within a short commute necessitates reliance on private transport, potentially limiting its appeal to certain buyer demographics and impacting resale value compared to areas with more integrated transport networks.
