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 (effectively unknown/poor), upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €12,000-€18,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Size Discrepancy: The property's 1079m² is considerably larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms typical in the 100km radius market, suggesting potential for underutilization or higher running costs for its configuration.
- Value Optimization Needed: The stark difference between the €105,985 estimated value and the €290,000 asking price, alongside a single bathroom for its size, points to significant potential for value optimization through renovations and modernisations.
- Hypothesis: The property's unusually large size (1079m²) combined with a single bathroom and poor BER rating suggests it was potentially built for a different purpose or era, offering a unique opportunity for a buyer willing to invest substantially in modernising and reconfiguring it to meet contemporary family living standards, potentially unlocking significant value beyond its current perceived worth.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: As of the provided data, there are no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops directly referenced as serving Glencoagh Lower, Mountcharles, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Details
- Scarce Local Services: The provided data does not list any specific schools, healthcare facilities, or significant retail centres within immediate proximity to Glencoagh Lower, Mountcharles.
- Remote Connectivity: Given the lack of specific local transport and amenities mentioned, residents of Glencoagh Lower, Mountcharles would likely need to travel significant distances to access major educational institutions, hospitals, or shopping centres.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Glencoagh Lower, Mountcharles, suggests a highly rural setting with a significant reliance on private vehicles for all amenities, which could negatively impact its appeal to a broad range of buyers and limit its rental potential, placing greater emphasis on its intrinsic value as a secluded residence.
