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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000 and €12,000, with a potential value increase of €15,000 to €20,000, representing a worthwhile investment.
Energy Cost Gap: With a D1 BER, annual energy costs are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for comparable B-rated properties, representing an annual saving potential of €1,000.
Configuration Mismatch: A 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom end-of-terrace property of 277m² is substantial, but its suitability depends heavily on local demand for such large, mixed-use or multi-generational homes, as this configuration is not the most common within the 1km radius data.
Hypothesis: Targeted energy efficiency upgrades on this D1-rated property, focusing on insulation and heating systems, could unlock a 10-15% uplift in market appeal and value, bringing it closer to the typical property standards of the higher-rated homes observed in more sought-after coastal areas.
Amenities
Transport Links: Bundoran is served by Bus Éireann routes, with key routes connecting to major towns and cities; however, there are no direct train lines or Luas/DART stops within the immediate vicinity.
Local Conveniences: Main Street location provides immediate access to local shops, cafes like Waves Surf Café itself, and various eateries, enhancing daily convenience.
Recreational Access: The property is situated in a prime location for coastal activities, with immediate access to beaches and surf spots, as well as proximity to Bundoran's golf course and leisure facilities.
Hypothesis: The strong appeal of Bundoran as a tourist and lifestyle destination, driven by its surf culture and coastal amenities, coupled with improving regional transport links (e.g., potential N15 upgrades), will continue to support property values, particularly for properties that can capitalize on the inherent location benefits, like this café/residential unit.
