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 G Rating Cost: Upgrading from a G BER rating to a C1 would likely cost €15,000-€20,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €25,000-€30,000.
High Running Costs: With a G BER rating, estimated annual energy costs for this property could be €2,500-€3,500, compared to €1,000-€1,500 for a C-rated property of similar size.
Size Efficiency: At 120.0m², this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom property offers a spacious layout that is well-suited for family living, aligning with typical dwelling sizes for this area.
Hypothesis: The significant investment required to improve the BER rating from G to a more marketable C1 suggests that properties with lower energy efficiency are being devalued in the local market more aggressively than previously understood, impacting resale potential.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: There are no specific bus routes, Luas, or DART stations directly serving Rathdowney, R32Y7W8; residents would likely rely on regional bus services to larger transport hubs.
Local Services Focus: The area's amenities appear focused on essential local needs, with indications of a pharmacy and local shops, though specific names are not provided in the data.
Walkability Uncertainty: While the property is within a residential area, the data does not provide specific walking routes or pedestrian infrastructure details for Rathdowney itself.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links to major employment centres implies that properties in Rathdowney, like this one, will continue to see a strong reliance on private car ownership, potentially limiting their appeal to a wider buyer pool and capping price growth.
