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
Significant BER Upgrade Potential: With a BER rating of SI_666 (Unknown), upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a smart investment.
Details
- Average Size for Type: The 120m² floor area for a detached property is standard, but could be optimized with efficient internal layout, especially given the 3-bedroom configuration.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the unknown BER rating, investing in insulation and heating system upgrades could significantly reduce annual running costs, estimated at €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property, compared to potentially €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size.
- Hypothesis: The property's unknown BER rating and estimated value of €152,355, coupled with a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, suggests a potential for value uplift through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, particularly if it addresses the scarcity of higher-rated homes in its rural locality.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations mentioned as serving Farranthomas, Newcestown directly, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Details
- Basic Local Services: While specific shops, schools, or healthcare facilities are not detailed, the property's rural location suggests limited immediate access to a wide range of amenities, likely requiring travel to larger towns.
- Low Walkability: The rural setting of Farranthomas, Newcestown, implies limited pedestrian infrastructure and walkability, with residents likely needing to drive for most daily needs and services.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Farranthomas, Newcestown, likely signifies a significant reliance on private transportation due to a lack of readily available public transport links and amenities within easy walking distance, which could influence its long-term desirability and value, particularly for commuters or those seeking convenient access to services.
