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: With a BER rating of F, significant energy efficiency upgrades are recommended; improving to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €25,000-€40,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €35,000-€55,000, offering a strong investment return and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €3,000-€3,800 for an F-rating to €1,400-€2,000 for a B-rating, saving over €1,600-€1,800 annually.
Details
- Generous Footprint, Bathroom Deficit: This 120m² detached property is considered 'Large' for the area, but its single bathroom falls short of the local median of 2 bathrooms for properties within a 5km radius, indicating potential for a valuable addition or upgrade to meet market expectations.
- Investment to Maximise Value: While currently underpriced, significant value uplift exists; investing in the BER upgrade and adding a second bathroom could potentially elevate this property's sale potential towards the 75th percentile of sales, which stands at €363,250 within a 5km radius over the past 30 days, indicating a potential €98,250 increase from the asking price.
- Hypothesis: The substantial gap between the property's current BER F rating and the higher energy standards of newer builds, combined with its single bathroom, suggests that properties in Limerick with multiple bathrooms and improved energy ratings will command a disproportionately higher premium in future sales, making strategic renovations essential for optimal value realization.
Amenities
Central Transport Hub: Located proximate to Limerick Colbert Station (trains and Bus Éireann), this property benefits from excellent public transport access, including numerous Bus Éireann routes (e.g., 301, 302, 304, 305) providing vital city and regional connectivity.
Details
- Education & Health Access: The property is ideally situated within easy reach of primary schools like St. John's National School and secondary schools such as Ardscoil Rís, with Barringtons Hospital and various city centre pharmacies close by for immediate healthcare needs.
- Vibrant Urban Living: Enjoy high walkability to Limerick's bustling O'Connell Street for retail, the Limerick Milk Market for artisan goods, and leisure at People's Park, with numerous cafes and restaurants just steps away, ensuring a dynamic and engaging city lifestyle.
- Hypothesis: Given Limerick's ongoing urban regeneration projects, particularly along the riverside and within the city centre, the value uplift from this property's immediate access to established and improving amenities, combined with planned public realm enhancements, will increasingly outweigh the typical premium associated with suburban locations, making central properties like this more desirable for a broader range of buyers seeking a car-independent lifestyle.
