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 Improvement Opportunity: A G BER rating suggests significant energy inefficiencies; upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€30,000, recouping the investment and enhancing marketability.
Size Efficiency: The property's 75m² size with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while providing sufficient sleeping accommodation, may be considered modest for a detached dwelling in areas with higher market values, potentially limiting its appeal to larger families or those seeking more spacious living.
Value Optimization: Given the G BER rating and a potential €47,000 difference between estimated value and asking price, focusing on energy efficiency upgrades offers a clear path to not only improve living comfort but also to significantly boost market value and achieve the higher estimated value.
Hypothesis: The substantial cost to upgrade from a G BER to a more competitive rating, coupled with the property's limited size, suggests that future value appreciation will be heavily dependent on significant investment in both energy efficiency and potentially minor internal reconfigurations to optimize space, implying that the initial purchase price must reflect these future improvement costs.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: Doonbeg, Co. Clare, is not served by specific Dublin Bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART lines, indicating a reliance on private transport for connectivity outside the immediate village.
Local Lifestyle Options: While specific detailed data on local restaurants, cafes, or parks in Doonbeg is not provided, the area is known for its coastal setting which typically offers access to natural amenities and local village facilities.
Family Services Gap: Without specific named schools, childcare facilities, or family services for Mountrivers, Doonbeg, a comprehensive assessment of family-friendliness and convenience for families with young children is challenging based on provided data.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links to major urban centers from Doonbeg suggests that property values are primarily driven by local desirability, scenic beauty, and community, rather than commuter convenience, meaning that any infrastructure development, such as improved regional bus services, could significantly impact future property valuations in this specific locale.
