We found 3 comparable transactions within 5.0km over the past 36 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this property.
This can happen for properties in lower-turnover areas or very specific property types. Check back as new transactions register on the Property Price Register, or search for a nearby comparable property.
Price Distribution Analysis
3 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median transaction level. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed.
This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position.
Financial Exposure · 22% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

Limited recent transaction volume reduces trend precision. Strategy remains anchored to closed-sale distribution.

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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading the C1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €6,000-€10,000, potentially increasing property value by €10,000-€15,000 and reducing annual energy costs by €400-€600 compared to its current rating.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With 80m² and 2 bedrooms, the property offers 40m² per bedroom, which is slightly less than the median of 50m²/bedroom in the 10km radius market (which averages 4 beds).
- Condition Opportunity: While not explicitly detailed, the C1 BER suggests potential for energy efficiency upgrades which can enhance overall property appeal and reduce long-term running costs.
- Hypothesis: Investments in improving the BER rating of C1 properties in this region, particularly towards B2 or A3, could unlock a significant value uplift of 5-7% due to a growing buyer preference for energy-efficient homes, outperforming the general market growth.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The nearest public transport options are likely bus services, with no specific routes or station names provided for this rural location, requiring private transport for most journeys.
Details
- Essential Services Access: Bailieborough town centre, approximately 5km away, would offer essential amenities such as supermarkets (e.g., SuperValu), pharmacies, and local shops, along with St. Anne's National School.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location offers a quieter, rural lifestyle, with potential for outdoor activities in the surrounding countryside, but lacks immediate walkability to extensive amenities.
- Hypothesis: The development of a new rural transport initiative or enhanced bus service connecting Bailieborough with larger towns like Cavan or Kells could significantly boost property values in this area by improving accessibility and reducing reliance on private vehicles.
