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 Improvement Opportunity: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a C2 would require an estimated investment of €10,000 - €15,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000 - €20,000 and improving its marketability significantly.
Details
- Size and Configuration: The property offers 70m² with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is a standard configuration for its size, but the single bathroom may be a limiting factor for larger families or higher valuations compared to similar-sized properties with 2 bathrooms.
- Value Optimization: The current asking price of €249,000 for a G-rated 70m² property with 3 beds and 1 bath suggests a price per square meter of €3,557, which is higher than the median sale price per square meter in the 5km radius for comparable properties, indicating room for negotiation or value-add through improvements.
- Hypothesis: The G BER rating, while currently a disadvantage, presents a clear and quantifiable opportunity for value enhancement; strategic energy upgrades, costing an estimated €10,000-€15,000 to reach a C2 rating, could unlock a €15,000-€20,000 capital gain and reduce ongoing energy costs by an estimated €700-€1,000 annually compared to its current rating.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The nearest public transport links are likely to be local bus services from Barntown village, with the closest train station being Wexford O'Hanrahan, approximately a 15-minute drive away, offering limited direct commuter routes to major urban centres.
Details
- Local Services: Barntown offers essential local amenities including St. Anne's National School, a local post office, and a small selection of shops and pubs, providing a convenient base for daily needs.
- Recreational Access: Residents can enjoy nearby natural amenities such as Johnstown Castle Estate & Gardens, approximately a 5-minute drive away, offering extensive grounds for walking and leisure activities.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Barntown, while offering rural tranquility and proximity to local attractions like Johnstown Castle, presents a challenge for daily commuters to Dublin, with current public transport options requiring significant time and multiple transfers; however, planned road infrastructure improvements in County Wexford, such as upgrades to the N25, could significantly enhance accessibility and property value within 2-3 years.
