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 Rating: The BER rating of SI_666 is effectively unknown or very poor, meaning significant investment would be required to improve energy efficiency; upgrades from a D-rating (typical for older stock) to a B2 could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially add €15,000-€20,000 to the property's value.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With a size of 232m² and 4 bedrooms/4 bathrooms, the property offers ample space, aligning with the '2X Very Large' size category, which is favourable for larger families or those seeking spacious living.
- Value Optimization: Given the unknown BER rating and the significant difference between the estimated value (€331,727) and the asking price (€695,000), focusing on BER upgrades could be a key strategy to improve the property's marketability and a more realistic value proposition.
- Hypothesis: The 'Unknown' BER rating suggests a potential for substantial value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, which, if executed effectively, could bridge the significant gap between the property's asking price and its perceived market value, particularly if local market comparisons trend towards higher BER properties.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Located in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, the property's transport connectivity would likely rely on local bus services, such as those operated by Bus Éireann, connecting to regional hubs like Derry and Dublin, with no immediate Luas or DART stations mentioned in the provided data.
Details
- Local Facilities: The area around Golf Course Road in Letterkenny typically offers access to Letterkenny University Hospital, various primary and secondary schools like Coláiste Ailigh and Loreto Community School, and retail options including Letterkenny Shopping Centre.
- Family Services: Letterkenny is a significant regional town in Donegal, likely to have multiple childcare facilities and family support services, alongside amenities such as Letterkenny Town Park which offers green space for recreation.
- Hypothesis: The positioning of this property outside of major urban centres suggests that its value is more intrinsically linked to local amenities and the unique lifestyle appeal of Co. Donegal rather than commuter links to larger cities, implying that the local environment and community services will be key drivers of buyer interest.
