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 C3 Efficiency: The C3 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with potential annual energy costs of approximately €1,500-€2,000 for a property of this size, compared to €800-€1,200 for an A-rated home.
Details
- Cost-Effective Upgrades: Improving the BER from C3 to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €7,000-€10,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a sound investment for future energy savings.
- Standard Size Configuration: At 85m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached home offers a standard layout for its type, fitting well within the median property mix of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms observed across various radii.
- Hypothesis: Investing in targeted insulation and a more efficient heating system to elevate the BER rating from C3 to B1 could unlock significant annual savings of €500-€800 and a notable uplift in market appeal, especially given the strong trend of properties selling above asking.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Cobh is served by Bus Éireann routes 240 and 249, providing direct access to Cork City Centre, and has its own train station on the Cork Suburban Rail line, offering frequent services to Cork Kent station.
Details

- Educational & Healthcare Access: Proximity to Scoil Iosagain and Cobh Community College ensures good educational options, while Cork University Hospital is accessible via a direct bus route or a 30-minute drive, and local pharmacies are readily available.
- Hypothesis: The combination of direct rail connectivity to Cork City and accessible local amenities, including a UNESCO site, enhances Cobh's appeal as a liveable commuter town, potentially supporting sustained property value growth beyond general market trends.
