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 Limitation: The property has an unknown BER rating (SI_666), offering no quantifiable energy efficiency information which is a significant drawback for potential buyers focused on running costs.
Details
- Size for Property Type: With 120.0m² and 2 bedrooms, the property has a lower bedroom density than the median of 3 beds within a 100km radius, potentially limiting its appeal to families seeking more sleeping accommodation.
- Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading from an unknown BER to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, a worthwhile investment for improved marketability and reduced future energy costs.
- Hypothesis: The lack of a defined BER rating and the 2-bedroom configuration for a detached property of this size suggest it is not optimized for the typical market demand within the 100km radius, which favors 3-bedroom properties and increasingly prioritizes energy efficiency, indicating potential value uplift through targeted improvements.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations explicitly mentioned as serving Oldcastle Meelick, Swinford, Co. Mayo in the provided data, indicating potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Services Assessment: Without specific details on schools like Swinford National School, healthcare facilities like the health centre in Swinford, or retail outlets like local supermarkets, it is difficult to assess the immediate amenity richness of the area.
- Walkability Concerns: The provided data does not detail specific walking routes or pedestrian infrastructure in Oldcastle Meelick, Swinford, suggesting that walkability to amenities might be limited.
- Hypothesis: The absence of specific transport and amenity data for Oldcastle Meelick, Swinford, suggests that its value proposition lies primarily in its rural setting rather than its connectivity or access to established urban amenities, implying that future value growth would likely be driven by localized infrastructure development rather than broad regional trends.
