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 F BER rating to a C2 could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000 but is likely to increase property value by €25,000-€30,000.
High Running Costs: With an F BER rating, estimated annual energy costs are likely between €2,600-€3,400, significantly higher than the €1,000-€1,400 for a C-rated property of similar size.
Space Efficiency: At 120m² with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property offers a decent living space, but the single bathroom could be a limitation for families or guests, potentially impacting resale value.
Hypothesis: The F BER rating, while currently a detractor, represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement. A strategic investment in insulation, heating upgrades, and window replacements, targeting a B2 rating, could yield a return on investment of over 100% when factoring in increased property value and long-term energy savings.
Amenities
Connectivity Reliance: Skibbereen is served by Bus Éireann routes, with specific local services connecting to larger towns, but lacks immediate access to train or Luas lines.
Local Services Available: Within Skibbereen, residents have access to essential amenities including supermarkets like SuperValu, local shops, the Skibbereen Medical Centre, and various cafes and restaurants such as The Abbey.
Educational Options: Proximity to educational facilities includes Skibbereen Community School and St. Fachtna's Boys National School.
Hypothesis: The value of properties in Skibbereen is intrinsically linked to its self-sufficiency and the quality of its local services, rather than extensive commuter links. As such, improvements in local infrastructure, such as enhanced broadband or community facilities, will likely have a more pronounced impact on property values than minor changes in regional transport schedules.
