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 Advantage: The A3 BER rating offers significant energy efficiency, positioning it among the top tier of properties and suggesting potential annual energy cost savings of approximately €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Size Competitiveness: At 120.0m², this terrace property is well-sized, aligning with the median of 3 bedrooms and offering ample space for a family.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While the A3 BER is excellent, focusing on minor interior aesthetic updates could further enhance its market appeal and potentially add €5,000-€10,000 to its value without major expenditure.
- Hypothesis: Given its A3 BER rating, this property is already highly efficient; however, a further €3,000-€5,000 investment in smart home technology could potentially elevate its BER to A2 and command a 3-5% price premium in a market that increasingly values technology integration.
Amenities
Connectivity Gap: As a property in Ballymote, Co. Sligo, direct public transport to major hubs like Dublin is limited, likely requiring multiple bus connections or a significant journey time, with no Luas or DART stations serving the immediate area.
Details
- Local Services: The property is situated in Ballymote town, which would typically offer essential local services such as a post office, local shops, and potentially primary schools within a reasonable distance.
- Limited Walkability to Major Hubs: While Ballymote itself is walkable for local amenities, commuting to larger employment centres like Sligo town or further afield would likely necessitate private transport due to the absence of direct high-frequency public transport links.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct high-speed rail or frequent bus services to larger urban centres like Sligo town (20km away) means that while Ballymote offers a quieter lifestyle, its connectivity limits its appeal to those seeking easy daily commutes to distant employment, potentially capping its value appreciation compared to better-connected regional towns.
