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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the E2 BER rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 for insulation and heating system improvements, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and improving its marketability against higher-rated homes.
Details
- Spacious Configuration: With 223m² and 4 bedrooms, this detached property offers a generous living space that is larger than the 10km median of 3 bedrooms, providing ample room for families and potential for reconfiguring to enhance value.
- Value Optimization Potential: Despite an E2 BER, the property's substantial size and 2 bathrooms align with market trends (median 2 baths within 10km), indicating that targeted renovations focusing on energy efficiency could unlock significant value.
- Hypothesis: The E2 BER rating, while currently a detractor, represents a clear opportunity for value enhancement; by investing in energy-efficient upgrades, the owner could significantly improve the property's appeal and command a price closer to the €300,000-€350,000 range seen in the 10km radius for properties with better energy performance.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: The Mortarstown Upper location lacks specific direct bus route numbers or Luas/DART stations within close proximity, suggesting reliance on private transport for efficient travel, unlike more urban areas with dedicated public transit links.
Details
- Proximity to Carlow Town Services: The property benefits from its location near Carlow Town, implying access to amenities such as Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal primary school, Carlow Institute of Technology, and local shopping at Fairgreen Shopping Centre.
- Local Connectivity Gaps: While Carlow Town offers educational institutions like Carlow Institute of Technology and healthcare at St. Luke's Hospital, specific local childcare facilities and immediate walkability to a diverse range of shops are not detailed, suggesting a need for travel to access these.
- Hypothesis: The property's location on the outskirts of Carlow Town, while offering a sense of space, presents a trade-off in terms of immediate public transport connectivity and walkability to a dense cluster of amenities; this suggests that future development or improved public transport links to this specific area could significantly boost property values.
