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.

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
High Upgrade Cost Impact: The SI_666 BER rating suggests a very poor energy efficiency; upgrading from this level to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000, but could increase property value by €20,000-€25,000, representing a potentially worthwhile investment.
Size Efficiency: With a substantial 230m² of space across 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this property offers significant living area, positioning it well for larger families but potentially impacting value per square meter compared to smaller, more efficient homes.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the SI_666 BER rating, investing in energy efficiency upgrades such as improved insulation and heating systems, estimated to cost €15,000-€20,000, could unlock significant long-term savings and enhance market appeal.
Hypothesis: The extremely low BER rating (SI_666) suggests a property built to outdated standards, and while the size is generous, its market value is likely significantly depressed by energy inefficiency, requiring substantial investment to align with modern buyer expectations and environmental regulations.

Hypothesis: The property's location in Birr, Co. Offaly, implies a strong reliance on local town amenities and private transport for connectivity to wider services, suggesting that properties in this area are valued more for their rural lifestyle and community feel than for commuter convenience or extensive urban amenities.
