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 Opportunity: Upgrading the C1 BER rating could cost between €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and enhancing its long-term appeal.
Space Efficiency: At 90m², the property offers a standard size for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home in the area, with a median sale price per square meter of €3,612 within 1km indicating good value for space.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the C1 BER and an estimated value of €345,213 compared to an asking price of €295,000, a strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades could capitalize on this valuation gap and further boost resale value.
Hypothesis: The relatively average C1 BER rating, coupled with the asking price being 14.5% below estimated value, suggests that the market may be discounting properties with moderate energy efficiency. Investments in higher BER ratings (B or C) could unlock a premium in this specific segment, moving beyond the current €3,612 per sqm metric.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The property is served by multiple Dublin Bus routes, including routes 215 and 202, providing direct links to Cork City Centre and surrounding areas.
Educational Access: Proximity to notable educational institutions like Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) and Scoil Ghobnatan Naofa makes this an attractive location for families and students.
Healthcare and Retail Hub: Residents benefit from convenient access to Cork University Hospital and nearby shopping facilities such as Dunnes Stores in Ballyvolane Shopping Centre, within easy reach.
Hypothesis: The presence of well-established bus routes like the 215, which directly serves Cork City Centre, combined with the concentration of amenities within a 3km radius (indicated by a median price per sqm of €4,339), suggests that properties in this area are poised for continued appreciation due to sustained demand from both families and urban commuters.
