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 Unknown Costs: With a SI_666 BER rating (effectively unknown for practical purposes), potential annual energy costs could be €2,000-€2,800 compared to €800-€1,200 for an A2-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Upgrade Potential: Upgrading from an unknown BER to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 but may increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment for long-term savings and marketability.
- Size Efficiency: The property offers 120m² of living space across 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is a standard configuration but could be improved with an additional bathroom to align with the 100km radius median of 2 bathrooms.
- Hypothesis: The significant discrepancy between the property's estimated value and its asking price, coupled with an unknown BER rating, strongly suggests that major renovation or remediation work is required, potentially costing tens of thousands of euros beyond the initial purchase price.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Information on specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas stops directly serving Castleforward Demesne is not provided in the raw data, suggesting a reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Details
- Rural Amenities: As it is outside Dublin, specific nearby educational facilities, healthcare access points, shopping centers, or lifestyle amenities like restaurants and parks within Newtown Cunningham are not detailed in the provided data.
- Unspecified Connectivity: The absence of concrete transport routes and specific local amenities in the provided data makes it difficult to assess walkability, pedestrian access, or commute times to major employment hubs.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Newtown Cunningham, Co. Donegal, likely means it is served by local rural bus services rather than extensive public transport networks, and amenities such as larger shopping centers and specialized healthcare facilities would require travel to Letterkenny or Derry.
