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 Potential: Upgrading from the C2 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €7,000-€10,000 and could increase the property's value by approximately €10,000-€15,000, offering a modest return on investment.
Space Efficiency: With 179.0m² and 5 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms, this bungalow offers a high ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms (1.25 bathrooms per bedroom), which is a strong selling point and indicates good space utilization.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER is C2, there are no specific metrics on the property's internal condition. Investing in minor upgrades to reach a B-rated BER could yield a value increase of up to €15,000, assuming an upgrade cost of €10,000.
Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while not poor, positions the property in the middle of the energy efficiency spectrum for bungalows sold within 1km (average price per sqm €2,195.12), suggesting that future buyers might increasingly favour properties with a B-rated BER or higher, potentially impacting resale value over 5-10 years if no improvements are made.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Ballina town is served by Bus Éireann routes connecting to various regional centres, and the nearest train station is Ballina Railway Station, offering services to Dublin Heuston.
Healthcare Access: Mayo University Hospital is located in Castlebar, approximately a 30-minute drive from Ballina, while local clinics and pharmacies are available within Ballina town.
Educational Facilities: The area includes primary schools such as St. Muredach's Primary School and secondary schools like St. Muredach's College, catering to local families.
Hypothesis: Given Ballina's status as a key hub in Co. Mayo, the presence of a railway station and multiple bus routes, the property's connectivity supports its value proposition for those seeking a balance between rural living and access to larger urban centres, however, the lack of specific local amenities within easy walking distance will limit its appeal to a more localised buyer pool.
