The Department of Land and Surveys publish a land valuation.
Is that the price that sellers base their selling price for vacant land?
Thank You!

Hi Onewisdom and welcome to the forum.

The Land Registry valuation is for taxation purposes only and will included everything shown in the title - house, apartment, etc. (Also the Interior Minister has admitted that there are massive mistakes in the recent land registry valuations).

The actual 'value' of land/immovable property is what someone is prepared to pay for it. Sellers tend to set the price of a property on how much they would like to get for it - in many cases these prices are overblown.

Regards,
