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 Advantage: With a B BER rating, this property is well-positioned, likely incurring annual energy costs of €800-€1,200, potentially saving €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to typical D-rated properties of similar size in the region.
Details
- Spacious Configuration: At 225m² with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the property offers a generous size and layout that aligns with the '4+ Bed' and '3 Bath' median configurations within a 100km radius (median 4 beds, 2 baths).
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While the B BER is good, achieving an A-rating through further insulation and heating upgrades, costing an estimated €8,000-€12,000, could potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
- Hypothesis: The 'B' BER rating, while positive, does not fully capitalize on the potential for value uplift through further energy efficiency improvements, which could position the property more competitively against the highest quality homes in the local market.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Buncrana is served by Bus Éireann routes such as the 237 to Letterkenny and the 236 to Derry, providing regional links, though specific commuter routes to major employment hubs are less direct than urban areas.
Details
- Local Lifestyle Options: The property is situated near Buncrana town centre, offering amenities like SuperValu, cafes such as The Drift Inn, and recreational spaces like Swift's Park, catering to daily needs and leisure.
- Family Amenities Nearby: Educational facilities in the vicinity include St. Mary's Community National School and Scoil Mhuire Buncrana, with childcare options likely available in the town centre, supporting family needs.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Buncrana, while providing access to local amenities and regional transport, lacks the direct, high-frequency public transport links (like Luas or DART) and proximity to major employment centres typically associated with higher property valuations seen in urban markets.
