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 C3 - Upgrade Potential: A BER C3 rating suggests an annual energy cost of approximately €1,400-€1,800; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially reduce annual costs by €400-€600, increasing property value.
Details
- Spacious Configuration: With 5 bedrooms and 120m² of space, this bungalow offers more bedrooms than the median of 3 for the 100km radius market, providing ample living space.
- Value Optimization: While the asking price is €250,000, the estimated value is €290,333, indicating a potential €40,334 opportunity for the buyer to achieve full market value by negotiating or understanding the reason for the discount.
- Hypothesis: The current C3 BER rating, while average for the broader market where BER data is unknown, represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement. A strategic investment in insulation and heating upgrades could position this 5-bedroom bungalow to command a premium price, particularly in a market where fewer high-spec homes are available.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Rosscahill, Co. Galway, is primarily served by local roads, with no direct bus routes or train stations mentioned within immediate proximity; travel to Galway City requires onward connections.
Details
- Local Services: The area offers basic local amenities, likely including a local shop and post office, but significant retail, healthcare, and educational facilities are concentrated in nearby towns like Oughterard or Galway City.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location in Doon East, Rosscahill, offers a quiet, rural lifestyle with access to natural landscapes, but walkability to major services is limited, likely requiring car transport for most errands.
- Hypothesis: The current lack of direct public transport links to major urban centres for Rosscahill suggests that demand for properties in this specific area is driven by those seeking a rural lifestyle and who prioritize private transport, meaning future development of local infrastructure or transport could significantly boost property values.
