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
Significant BER Upgrade Needed: The D2 BER rating indicates substantial potential for energy efficiency improvements. Upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, while reducing annual energy costs by €1,000-€1,400 compared to the current D2 rating.
Details
- Standard Size Offering: At 92.0m², the property's size is typical for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home, fitting the median bed count of 3 and median bath count of 2 within a 100km radius.
- Value Optimisation Opportunity: The current D2 BER rating presents a clear opportunity for value optimisation through energy upgrades, which are becoming increasingly important for buyers and can significantly enhance long-term holding value.
- Hypothesis: Investing in a BER upgrade from D2 to C1 would cost an estimated €6,000-€9,000 and is projected to increase the property's resale value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a strong return on investment within 1-2 years.
Amenities
Local Transport Links: Castlebar town itself is served by Bus Éireann routes, with local services connecting residents to surrounding areas, though no specific Luas or DART stops are directly accessible.
Details
- Essential Services Nearby: The area offers access to St. Mary's Hospital and Castlebar General Hospital for healthcare, with St. Patrick's Grammar School and Gaelscoil Raifteirí for educational needs, and a variety of local shops and supermarkets on Turlough Road.
- Family and Leisure Access: Castlebar boasts amenities like Lough Lannagh Park for recreation and green space, alongside various local cafes and restaurants, supporting a balanced family lifestyle.
- Hypothesis: The planned infrastructure improvements for Castlebar town centre, including enhanced public transport links and pedestrianisation initiatives, could see properties along Turlough Road experience a 5-8% increase in value due to improved connectivity and local amenity access within the next 3-5 years.
