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 Impact: The property's G BER rating indicates significant energy inefficiency; upgrading from G to a C rating (e.g., C2) could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000.
Size Efficiency: At 101 sqm with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property offers a reasonable living space for its size, but the single bathroom could be a constraint for larger families or frequent guests.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the G BER rating, a comprehensive renovation focusing on insulation, windows, and heating systems could significantly enhance its market appeal and reduce running costs, turning a current liability into a future asset.
Hypothesis: The significant cost of upgrading from a G BER to a more desirable rating, coupled with a single bathroom, suggests that this property is priced primarily for investors or buyers with substantial renovation budgets, rather than those seeking immediate move-in readiness, potentially limiting its appeal to a niche market segment.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Cootehill is served by Bus Éireann routes, including the 948 to Cavan and 975 to Dublin, offering regional connectivity but lacking direct access to rapid transit like Luas or DART.
Local Services: Drumgoon is a rural area with limited immediate amenities; residents typically rely on Cootehill town (approximately 7km away) for major shopping centres like Aldi and local pharmacies such as Boots.
Educational and Healthcare Access: Nearby educational facilities include Drumgoon National School (within 2km), and further options in Cootehill town; healthcare access would primarily be through the HSE Primary Care Centre in Cootehill.
Hypothesis: The property's location, while offering rural tranquility, presents a significant reliance on Cootehill town for most amenities and services; this car-dependent lifestyle, combined with limited public transport options for daily commutes, may suppress its appeal and value compared to properties with better access to employment hubs and varied services.
