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 Deficit: The current 'G' BER rating indicates substantial room for improvement. Upgrading to a 'B2' rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, while reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Standard Size, Lower Spec: With 120.0m² of space and 3 bedrooms, this property aligns with the median bed count (3.0) within 100km but falls short of the median bathroom count (2.0) and the higher specifications (4 beds, 3 baths) seen in the more active 10km radius market.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the 'G' BER and single bathroom, the property presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades and a potential second bathroom installation, which could bridge the gap to the higher-spec properties in the immediate vicinity.
- Hypothesis: The estimated value of €136,269 for this G-rated, 1-bathroom property is substantially below the €361,000 median sale price for similar-sized properties in the 10km radius that feature higher BER ratings and more bathrooms. Strategic investment in energy upgrades and bathroom additions could reposition this property to capture a more significant portion of local market demand, potentially increasing its value by over €100,000.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: The property's rural location in Headford, Co. Galway, means it is outside the reach of Dublin's extensive public transport network, including Luas, DART, or specific Dublin Bus routes.
Details
- Local Amenities - Headford Focus: Access to amenities would be primarily through Headford town, which typically offers local schools such as Presentation College Headford and Gaelscoil Riabhach, as well as essential services like pharmacies and small supermarkets.
- Rural Lifestyle Setting: The property is situated outside densely populated urban centers, suggesting a lifestyle focused on rural tranquility rather than immediate access to major shopping centers, diverse restaurants, or numerous parks typically found closer to larger towns or cities.
- Hypothesis: The property's designation as 'Outside Dublin' and its rural address suggest that local transport relies heavily on private vehicles, with Headford town serving as the primary hub for essential services. Commuters would likely face longer travel times to employment centers, impacting its appeal to a broader buyer demographic compared to properties with direct access to metropolitan transport links.
