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: The property's BER rating is listed as 'Unknown' (SI_666), indicating a crucial missing piece of information for energy efficiency assessment and potential future running costs.
Details
- Upgrade Opportunity: Should the 'Unknown' BER prove to be a low rating (E, F, or G), an upgrade to a B2 standard could require an investment of €15,000-€25,000, but could significantly increase property value by €25,000-€40,000.
- Standard Size, Limited Bathroom: At 93m² with 3 bedrooms, the property is a standard size for a family home, matching the 10km median bedroom count; however, its single bathroom is below the 10km median of 2 bathrooms, potentially limiting appeal for some buyers.
- Hypothesis: Given the bungalow's unknown BER and below-median bathroom count, its potential for substantial value appreciation lies heavily in a buyer's willingness to invest in modernizing and improving its energy efficiency, transforming it into a more competitive offering in a market where higher BER properties command a premium.
Amenities
Rural Transport Reliance: Located in Culmore, Kilkelly, Co. Mayo, transport connectivity primarily relies on private vehicles, as specific public transport services like Luas, DART, or frequent numbered Bus Éireann routes are not prevalent; the nearest train stations would be in towns such as Ballyhaunis or Claremorris, requiring car access.
Details
- Local Educational & Services: Kilkelly village offers essential local amenities, including Kilkelly National School, and local pharmacies; for secondary education, St. Joseph's Secondary School in nearby Charlestown serves the wider community.
- Lifestyle & Space Focus: Lifestyle amenities reflect a rural setting, with local village shops and community facilities, while specific restaurants or cafes are limited to local establishments; the property's 2.9 acres provide significant private outdoor space, compensating for a lack of expansive public parks typically found in urban areas.
- Hypothesis: While traditional urban amenities are limited, the property's generous 2.9-acre plot and proximity to essential village services like the local national school position it as an ideal choice for buyers prioritizing space, privacy, and a quieter, community-focused lifestyle over extensive public transport or urban retail, potentially appealing to those seeking a countryside retreat.
