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: The BER rating is pending, which means its energy efficiency is currently unknown and could impact future running costs and market appeal.
Size Limitation: At 50m², the property is on the smaller side for a detached 2-bedroom house, which may limit its appeal for families or those seeking more space.
Potential Upgrade Costs: Upgrading a property from an unknown BER rating to a B2 standard could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing its value by €15,000-€20,000, but this is speculative until the current rating is known.
Hypothesis: The 'BER_PENDING' status is a significant unknown; if the rating falls into the D, E, or F categories, the cost of essential upgrades to meet modern energy efficiency standards could significantly erode the apparent discount from the asking price, shifting the value proposition.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Elphin is served by Bus Éireann routes, with local services connecting to larger towns like Roscommon and Carrick-on-Shannon; there are no Luas, DART, or train stations in Elphin itself.
Educational Facilities: The area includes Scoil Mhuire National School and Coláiste Mhuire, providing local primary and secondary education options.
Healthcare Access: Local amenities include Elphin Primary Care Centre and pharmacies, with Roscommon County Hospital approximately 15km away.
Hypothesis: While Elphin offers basic local amenities, its connectivity is primarily reliant on bus services to regional hubs, which could limit its appeal for daily commuters to major employment centres and suggests a stronger focus on local community living rather than urban accessibility.
