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
Moderate BER Efficiency: With a C1 BER rating, this property offers moderate energy efficiency, with estimated annual energy costs likely between €1,500-€1,900 compared to €1,000-€1,400 for B-rated properties of similar size.
Spacious Configuration: This 120sqm apartment with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom offers a generous living space per bedroom ratio, potentially appealing to individuals or couples seeking ample room.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER is C1, potential upgrades to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and increase the property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a strategic investment.
Hypothesis: Given the significant size (120sqm) for a 1-bedroom apartment and a C1 BER, this property presents an opportunity for a buyer to significantly enhance its market value by investing in targeted energy efficiency upgrades that could yield a higher return than typically seen in smaller, better-rated units.
