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 Impact on Value: The C3 BER rating is likely a significant factor in the property's lower estimated value of €245,833 compared to the asking price, as properties with lower BER ratings often command lower prices.
Energy Cost Projection: A C3 BER rating suggests annual energy costs could be approximately €1,500-€2,000 for a property of this size, compared to €900-€1,300 for a B-rated property, representing a potential annual saving of €600-€700.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the BER rating from C3 to B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a clear return on investment.
Hypothesis: The C3 BER rating, while not the lowest, acts as a significant ceiling on this property's perceived value; buyers may be factoring in the cost of future upgrades or accepting a lower immediate value, suggesting that a focus on energy efficiency improvements could unlock substantial hidden value.
Amenities
Connectivity to Dublin: As a property outside Dublin, direct public transport to the city centre is limited; for example, there are no direct DART or Luas lines serving Ardee, and bus services would likely involve multiple changes.
Local Infrastructure: Ardee offers essential local amenities including a SuperValu supermarket, St. Mary's National School, and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda (approximately 20km away) for healthcare access.
Limited Local Walkability: Stoney Lane is a rural address, meaning walkability to shops, schools, or public transport is limited, likely requiring private transport for most daily needs.
Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' classification and the specific rural address at Stoney Lane suggest that while Ardee offers core local services, the lack of direct, high-frequency public transport to major employment hubs like Dublin will continue to suppress property values compared to more connected commuter towns, creating a niche market for those prioritizing rural living over urban accessibility.
