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
Excellent Energy Efficiency: With a B3 BER rating, this property offers significant annual energy cost savings, estimated at €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to less efficient D-rated properties of similar size, which typically incur €1,800-€2,200 in annual energy costs.
Details
- Superior Configuration: The property's 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms provide a spacious 124m² layout, exceeding the local 5km median of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, offering enhanced appeal and functionality for larger families.
- Reduced Upgrade Investment: The strong B3 BER rating implies modern construction or recent energy efficiency upgrades, meaning new owners are less likely to face significant immediate capital expenditure on insulation or heating system improvements, preserving initial investment.
- Hypothesis: The property's desirable 4-bedroom layout combined with its strong B3 BER rating positions it as a highly attractive option in the market, likely appealing to buyers prioritizing both space and long-term energy cost savings, which could drive a quicker sale.
