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: The E2 BER rating suggests significant potential for value enhancement; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 based on typical market premiums for energy efficiency.
Details
- Size Efficiency: The 120m² detached house offers a good living space, aligning with the median of 3-4 bedrooms in the surrounding 100km radius, but it's smaller than the 4-bedroom median seen in closer proximity (10km radius), indicating it may be slightly undersized for the most discerning local buyers.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the E2 BER, a strategic investment in insulation, heating system upgrades, and window replacements could yield a strong return on investment, not only by reducing annual running costs (estimated €1,800-€2,200 for E2 vs. €800-€1,200 for B-rated properties of similar size) but also by increasing market appeal and future resale value.
- Hypothesis: The E2 BER rating, while a current detractor, presents a significant value-add opportunity for a buyer willing to invest in energy efficiency upgrades, as the market premiums for higher BER ratings in this region appear to be substantial, potentially offsetting the upgrade costs and improving long-term holding value.
Amenities
Connectivity Limitations: The property's rural location in Glen, Carrigart, means no direct bus routes or train stations are immediately accessible; for public transport, one would likely need to travel to larger towns such as Letterkenny for services like Bus Éireann routes.
Details
- Local Services Access: Essential amenities are not within immediate walking distance; the nearest supermarket, pharmacies, and healthcare facilities are likely located in nearby villages or towns such as Carrigart or Dunfanaghy, requiring car travel.
- Lifestyle Amenities Distance: While Carrigart offers some local charm with cafes and pubs, access to a wider range of restaurants, parks, or sporting facilities would necessitate travel to more populated centers like Letterkenny or tourist hubs along the Wild Atlantic Way.
- Hypothesis: The property's appeal lies in its scenic, tranquil location, but its value is significantly influenced by the need for private transport due to limited public transport and distant essential services, suggesting that its market potential is geared towards lifestyle buyers prioritizing rural seclusion over convenience.
