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 Investment Opportunity: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Size Efficiency: With 172.0m² spread across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a reasonable space allocation of 43m² per bedroom, which is generally adequate for family living.
Value Optimization: Given the D1 BER, there is a clear opportunity to enhance market appeal and reduce long-term running costs through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, potentially closing the gap to higher-valued properties in the area.
Hypothesis: The presence of a single sale of the same broad property type within a 3km radius over 90 days suggests a very limited comparable market for bungalows, implying that buyers may be unfamiliar with pricing for this specific dwelling type, making well-executed BER upgrades a critical factor in achieving optimal value.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not provided for Castlebellingham, its location outside Dublin implies reliance on local bus services and proximity to national road networks like the M1 for access to Drogheda and Dundalk.
Healthcare Access: The nearest major hospital would likely be Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, approximately 15-20km away, with local GP services and pharmacies available in Castlebellingham or nearby villages.
Lifestyle Facilities: Castlebellingham offers local amenities including pubs, a post office, and is a short drive from coastal towns like Blackrock and Dundalk, providing access to restaurants, cafes, and leisure activities such as parks and coastal walks.
Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' classification, coupled with a lack of specific public transport data (bus routes, train stations), suggests that the primary value driver for this property will be its connectivity to major arterial routes (M1) for commuting or regional access, and the quality of local amenities will be paramount for daily living, likely increasing its appeal to those seeking a quieter lifestyle with essential services nearby.
