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 Investment: Improving the E BER rating to a C or B would likely cost between €10,000 and €18,000, but could increase the property's value by €18,000 to €25,000, offering a potential return on investment.
Energy Cost Comparison: With an E BER rating, annual energy costs for this 118m² property are estimated to be €2,000-€2,600, significantly higher than the €900-€1,400 for comparable C-rated homes in the area.
Space Efficiency: While the property offers 118m² with 2 bedrooms, the E BER rating suggests potential for outdated insulation and heating systems, which may impact overall living comfort and utility costs.
Hypothesis: The E BER rating, combined with the asking price significantly above comparable sales, implies that the market in this specific locale is currently undervaluing the capital expenditure required for essential energy efficiency upgrades, creating an opportunity for savvy buyers to negotiate further based on these necessary improvements.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: This property is located in Dromahair, Co. Leitrim, a rural area with limited public transport; it is not directly served by specific Dublin Bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART lines as these are typically Dublin-centric.
Local Services: Dromahair offers basic amenities such as local shops and cafes; for broader retail, healthcare, and educational facilities, residents typically rely on nearby larger towns like Manorhamilton or Sligo.
Walkability and Access: The immediate area around Carricknacroghery is likely to be rural, offering walking routes along local roads and potentially scenic paths, but lacking structured pedestrian infrastructure or immediate access to parks or dedicated recreational facilities.
Hypothesis: The strong emphasis on property value in surrounding areas seems to be driven by proximity to specific transport hubs like train stations or major bus corridors; in a location like Dromahair, the lack of such connectivity will continue to suppress property values relative to urban or suburban areas, requiring a significant price adjustment to attract buyers prioritizing convenience over rural living.
