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 Opportunity: Upgrading the C1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs by €600-€1,000 compared to its current rating.
Details
- Spacious Configuration: With 120m² and 4 bedrooms, the property offers a generous living space, aligning with the higher end of the market for detached homes in the area.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the C1 BER rating, targeted energy efficiency upgrades, such as improved insulation and heating systems, could significantly enhance long-term value and reduce running costs, making it a more attractive investment.
- Hypothesis: While the C1 BER is acceptable, a significant portion of the value perception in this market might be tied to properties achieving B3 or higher, suggesting that achieving a B-rating could unlock a premium in resale value, especially given the area's context of being outside major urban centres where energy efficiency is increasingly a selling point.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The property is located outside Dublin and the provided data does not specify any direct bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations serving Derrylusk, Mountrath, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Services Assessment: While specific local amenities like schools (e.g., Gaelscoil Moin Dearg, Mountrath Community School) and shops (e.g., local supermarkets in Mountrath) are likely available, the provided data does not detail their proximity or specific offerings for this exact address.
- Rural Connectivity: The absence of specific public transport links suggests that connectivity to larger towns or cities will likely involve significant travel or reliance on private vehicles, potentially impacting daily commutes and accessibility.
- Hypothesis: The development potential of the R32DX44 area in Mountrath may hinge on future investment in public transport infrastructure, such as a connecting bus service to Portlaoise or improved regional bus routes, which could significantly enhance its appeal to a broader range of buyers and commuters.
