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 Efficiency: With a B2 BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs between €1,300 - €1,700, significantly lower than the €2,500 - €3,000 for a G-rated property of similar size.
Generous Space: The property offers 269m² of living space with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, providing substantial room for a large family or potential for multi-generational living, exceeding the average size for many properties in this price bracket.
Value Optimization: While the BER is good, focusing on minor upgrades to reach an A-rating could further enhance value and reduce annual running costs by an estimated €500-€700, representing a €7,000-€10,000 investment for a potential €15,000-€20,000 value increase.
Hypothesis: The substantial size of this 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom property, coupled with its B2 BER rating, positions it as a prime candidate for a premium 'lifestyle' property, where its primary value driver is not just its immediate market comparable but its capacity to attract buyers seeking space and comfort over strict per-square-meter metrics.
Amenities
Transport Links: Ballinasloe is served by Bus Éireann routes including the 440 and 50 to Galway and Dublin respectively, providing regional connectivity, though lacking local Luas or DART services.
Local Conveniences: The property is situated near Ballinasloe town centre, offering access to supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, along with St. Joseph's Hospital and various local pharmacies.
Family Amenities: The area offers educational facilities such as St. Mary's Boys' National School and Ardscoil Mhuire Secondary School, alongside local parks like Gulliver's Travels Park, contributing to family appeal.
Hypothesis: While Ballinasloe offers essential amenities and regional transport, its 'outside Dublin' location means that direct access to high-frequency public transport like the Luas or DART is absent, which will likely limit its appeal to a specific buyer segment prioritizing space and a more rural setting over urban commute convenience.
