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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading this D-rated property to a B2 BER would typically cost between €8,000 and €12,000, but could increase its market value by €15,000 to €20,000.
Details
- Energy Cost Savings: Currently, annual energy costs for a D-rated property of this size are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, whereas a B-rated property would typically incur €800-€1,200 annually, offering significant savings post-upgrade.
- Optimal Family Configuration: With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 151m², the property's layout and generous size align well with the demand for larger family homes in the area, exceeding the median 3 beds and 2 baths.
