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: The C2 BER rating suggests that an investment of €8,000-€12,000 to upgrade to a B2 could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, while also reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €500-€1,000 compared to similar D-rated properties in the area.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With 120m² of living space across 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, this bungalow offers a moderate 40m² per bedroom, which is typical for its size category but could be optimized for better layout flow.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the C2 BER is acceptable, targeting an upgrade to a B-rated BER could unlock significant value and appeal, especially given that the median number of bathrooms within 10km is 4, suggesting a potential gap in this property's configuration for some buyers.
- Hypothesis: The substantial difference between the property's estimated value (€478,285) and its asking price (€340,000), combined with a C2 BER rating, indicates that the market is currently undervaluing the property's inherent potential. A strategic focus on improving the BER rating and potentially adding a second bathroom could unlock a significant portion of this estimated value gap, making it a strong value proposition for a proactive buyer.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: Castletown Geoghegan is primarily served by Bus Éireann routes, with the nearest major train station likely requiring travel to Mullingar, and no Luas or DART lines accessible within a reasonable commuting distance to Dublin.
Details
- Local Services Availability: The area offers basic local amenities, with shops and schools typically found in nearby towns like Kilbeggan or Mullingar, and local healthcare facilities likely comprising smaller clinics or pharmacies.
- Walkability Constraints: While local roads offer some pedestrian access within Castletown Geoghegan, extensive walking routes or dedicated pedestrian infrastructure beyond the immediate village centre are limited, suggesting a reliance on car travel for most amenities.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links to Dublin and limited immediate amenities in Castletown Geoghegan suggest that properties here are valued more for their rural lifestyle and lower price point compared to commuter towns. Future development of enhanced local transport links or a significant amenity boost could dramatically increase property values by attracting a broader buyer pool seeking a quieter pace of life without complete isolation.
