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 D2 Upgrade Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, but potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, presenting a clear return on investment.
Spacious Family Home: With 176.0m² of space across 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this property offers ample living area, significantly exceeding the typical size for the local market.
Value Optimization Opportunity: The current BER D2 rating suggests annual energy costs of approximately €1,800-€2,200, which could be reduced to €800-€1,200 by achieving a B2 rating, saving €1,000-€1,400 annually and enhancing market appeal.
Hypothesis: Given the property's substantial size for the area and its D2 BER rating, focusing on energy efficiency upgrades could unlock significant value; an investment of €8,000-€12,000 could not only recoup costs through energy savings but also potentially attract a higher sale price by aligning with the market's increasing demand for energy-efficient homes.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: Bailieborough, Co. Cavan, is not directly served by Luas, DART, or specific Dublin Bus routes like 25, 66, or 67; residents would typically rely on local bus services like Bus Éireann to connect to larger transport hubs.
Local Educational Access: The area is served by St. Anne's National School and Bailieborough Community School, providing core educational facilities within the town.
Healthcare and Retail Proximity: Access to healthcare would likely involve local GP services and pharmacies in Bailieborough, with further options in Navan or Cavan Town, while shopping is catered for by local supermarkets and shops in Bailieborough.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Bailieborough, while offering a rural setting, presents a connectivity challenge for Dublin commuters; the lack of direct public transport links means that potential buyers prioritizing ease of commute to Dublin will face longer travel times and multiple transfers, impacting its desirability compared to properties with direct access to major transport networks.
