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 Below Average: The property has an unknown BER rating (SI_666), which would typically position it at the lower end of energy efficiency, potentially leading to higher annual energy costs compared to average homes.
Details
- Generous Size: With 212m² of living space and 4 bedrooms, the property offers ample accommodation, exceeding the median of 3 bedrooms noted in the 100km radius market data.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the unknown BER, investing approximately €8,000-€12,000 to achieve a C or B rating could potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and significantly reduce future running costs, representing a clear value optimization opportunity.
- Hypothesis: The discrepancy between the property's substantial size and its unknown BER rating suggests an opportunity for value enhancement. Future buyers may prioritize energy efficiency upgrades, potentially increasing the property's attractiveness and saleability over time, especially if the local market begins to align with broader trends favouring greener homes.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Public transport connectivity for Killykeen, Kilnaleck is not detailed, but typical rural areas would require significant travel to access major bus routes or train stations like those found closer to urban centres.
Details
- Rural Lifestyle Amenities: While specific local amenities are not detailed, Killykeen's rural setting suggests access to natural landscapes and community-focused services rather than extensive retail or entertainment options typically found in larger towns.
- Potential for Local School Access: While not specified, rural areas like Kilnaleck generally have local primary schools, however, secondary education and further facilities would likely require travel to larger towns such as Cavan or Ballyjamesduff.
- Hypothesis: The limited detailed amenity data for Killykeen suggests a property that appeals primarily to those seeking a secluded rural lifestyle. Any future development or infrastructure improvements in nearby towns like Cavan could significantly enhance the property's appeal and accessibility, leading to potential long-term value appreciation.
