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: The E1 BER rating necessitates significant upgrades; an investment of €8,000-€12,000 to reach a B2 rating could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With 120m² and only 2 bedrooms, the property has a relatively low density of 60m² per bedroom, suggesting potential for internal reconfiguration or extension to maximize utility and value if market demand warrants.
- Value Optimization Potential: The current E1 BER rating means higher energy costs than typically seen in neighbouring properties, which average a median of 3 beds and 2 baths (100km data). Optimizing insulation and heating could cost €8,000-€12,000 but unlock significant value.
- Hypothesis: Addressing the E1 BER rating by investing in insulation and heating upgrades for an estimated €8,000-€12,000 could yield a 15-20% increase in property value and significantly reduce annual energy costs, making it a highly attractive proposition for buyers prioritizing long-term savings.
Amenities
Limited Connectivity: Castlefin is not directly served by major public transport hubs like train stations or Luas/DART stops; reliance would be on local bus services, such as Bus Éireann routes connecting to larger towns.
Details
- Local Services Gap: Specific details on primary schools, healthcare facilities, or retail centers within immediate walking distance of Coolyslin are not provided, suggesting a need for car dependency for essential services.
- Rural Lifestyle Focus: The property's location in Coolyslin, Castlefin, Co. Donegal, points towards a rural lifestyle, with potential access to natural amenities but likely limited immediate availability of specialized retail, diverse dining, or extensive childcare options found in urban centers.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links and readily available local amenities suggests that property value in this specific rural location is primarily driven by intrinsic property characteristics and lifestyle preferences rather than connectivity and convenience factors typical of more populated areas.
