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
Upgrade Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and is projected to increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a profitable investment.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 56m², this property offers a compact living space which, while efficient, is 2.6m² smaller than the average size of properties sold within a 5km radius over the past 180 days.
- Value Optimization Needed: The current D2 BER rating leads to estimated annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for properties with a B-rated BER, highlighting a significant opportunity to optimize value through energy efficiency improvements.
- Hypothesis: The property's D2 BER rating, while indicating a need for upgrades, aligns with a market where 100% of comparable properties within a 100km radius have unknown BER ratings, suggesting that the emphasis on BER may be less pronounced in the broader market data, but locally, investing in energy efficiency could yield a disproportionate value uplift due to increasing buyer awareness.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Access: Located at 1 Marie Place, Windmill Road, Cork City Centre, this property benefits from proximity to key transport links including multiple Dublin Bus routes serving the immediate area.
Details
- Urban Convenience Hub: Residents have convenient access to a wide array of amenities including the English Market, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, and the Mercy University Hospital, all within walking distance.
- Walkable City Lifestyle: The property's central location ensures excellent walkability, with numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops on nearby streets like Oliver Plunkett Street and Patrick Street.
- Hypothesis: Given the central Cork City Centre location and the likely presence of extensive local amenities and connectivity, further development or regeneration initiatives in the Windmill Road area could significantly enhance property values by improving pedestrian infrastructure and integrating more green spaces, making this property a strong contender for capital appreciation.
