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 Energy Cost Gap: The G BER rating suggests annual energy costs could be €2,000-€2,500, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for a B2-rated property of similar size.
Upgrade Investment Opportunity: Improving the BER from G to B2 could cost approximately €10,000-€15,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€25,000.
Compact Living Space: At 66m², the property offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in a compact terrace format, which may be considered small for a 3-bedroom dwelling in some markets, but is typical for central city locations.
Hypothesis: Given the G BER rating and the significant potential for value uplift through energy efficiency upgrades, this property represents a strong opportunity for a buyer who can leverage renovation grants and knowledge of insulation and heating systems to create a more valuable and sustainable asset.
Amenities
Excellent Public Transport: Located near Proby's Quay, residents have access to multiple bus routes including the 201 and 207, connecting directly to Cork city centre and surrounding areas.
Local Educational Hub: The property is within walking distance of prominent educational institutions such as UCC's main campus and Cork Institute of Technology, as well as secondary schools like Presentation Brothers College.
Retail and Leisure Rich: Proby's Quay is adjacent to Cork's main shopping districts, including Patrick Street and Oliver Plunkett Street, and offers a wealth of restaurants, cafes, and pubs, with Fitzgerald's Park a short walk away.
Hypothesis: The property's prime city centre location, offering unparalleled access to Cork's best educational, retail, and lifestyle amenities, suggests that its value is primarily driven by its 'walkability score' and proximity to employment and services, rather than its size or BER rating, positioning it as an attractive option for urban dwellers.
