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 Rating Investment: With a SI_666 BER rating (likely poor), upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €10,000-€15,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000, offering a good return on investment.
Details
- Spacious Footprint: The property's 1,286,900.0m² size is significantly larger than the typical 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom properties sold within a 10km radius, offering substantial space and potential for expansion or alternative uses.
- Configuration Mismatch: While the property boasts 4 bedrooms, the median number of bedrooms for sales within 100km over 180 days is 3, suggesting the 4-bedroom configuration is a positive feature but the overall size may exceed typical demand without further development.
- Hypothesis: The exceptionally large land size (128.7 hectares) attached to the 4-bedroom property, which has a high BER rating of SI_666, indicates a potential for significant value uplift through phased energy efficiency upgrades and strategic land development, potentially transforming it into a high-yield rural estate or multiple dwelling units.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: As Killykeen is outside Dublin, specific bus routes, train stations (like Cavan Station), or Luas/DART services are not directly detailed but it is implied to be a rural location with limited public transport connectivity.
Details
- Rural Lifestyle Amenities: Kilnaleck and surrounding areas likely offer local amenities such as small shops, primary schools like St. Aidan's National School, and community centres, but are not specified in the provided data.
- Remote Connectivity Assessment: The property's location in Killykeen, Kilnaleck, Co. Cavan suggests it's in a rural setting, implying longer travel times to major towns and cities, with limited walkability to extensive retail or professional services.
- Hypothesis: The extensive landholding at Killykeen, Kilnaleck, Co. Cavan, despite its rural isolation, presents an opportunity to develop on-site amenities such as private recreational facilities or a community garden, enhancing its self-sufficiency and appeal to buyers seeking privacy and land-based activities, thereby compensating for a lack of immediate public services.
