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

- BER Upgrade Investment Potential: With an 'Unknown' BER rating, this property likely requires energy efficiency improvements. Upgrading from a typical D/E/F/G rating to a B2 could cost approximately €15,000-€25,000, potentially increasing the property value by €20,000-€35,000 and saving an estimated €1,000-€1,500 annually in energy costs compared to a D-rated home.
- Spacious Layout for Mayo: At 120m², this property is categorized as 'Large', offering ample living space that is above average for many properties in regional markets and contributes to its strong appeal for long-term family living.
- Hypothesis: The property's attractive configuration and size, combined with its 'Unknown' BER rating and significantly low asking price, suggest it's being marketed as a prime renovation project, offering substantial 'sweat equity' potential for a buyer willing to invest in modernizing and improving its energy efficiency.
