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
Energy Inefficiency: With a G BER rating, this property's estimated annual energy costs are likely in the range of €3,000-€4,000, significantly higher than average.
Upgrade Investment: Upgrading from a G BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €15,000-€25,000 but could potentially increase the property's value by €25,000-€35,000.
Space Configuration: This 219m² detached property with only 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms may present a layout challenge for many buyers, potentially impacting resale appeal.
Hypothesis: The substantial difference in value uplift (€10,000-€15,000 net gain) after undertaking a BER upgrade suggests that energy efficiency is a key driver of value in this market, and investing in upgrades could offer a strong return on investment, particularly as energy prices are projected to rise.
Amenities
Transport Limitations: Direct public transport links to major centres are limited in Ballyshannon; commuters likely rely on local bus services, with connections to larger towns such as Sligo requiring multiple changes.
Local Services: The area provides essential services including local shops and primary schools, with specific educational facilities like Gaelscoil Bhun an Leaca and clinics supporting the community.
Lifestyle Offerings: Residents can enjoy local amenities such as the Bundoran Golf Club and scenic walks along the River Erne, providing leisure opportunities.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport to major employment hubs means that properties in Ballyshannon will continue to appeal primarily to local buyers or those seeking a more rural lifestyle, creating a ceiling on value growth tied to commuter demand.
