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
Significant BER Upgrade Opportunity: With an E2 BER rating, upgrading to a C2 rating would require an estimated investment of €8,000 - €12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000 - €20,000, representing a strong return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: The property offers 96.0m² of living space with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is a standard configuration for the area but the single bathroom may be a limitation for some buyers.
- Value Optimization Potential: The E2 BER rating suggests that €1,800 - €2,200 could be spent annually on heating, significantly higher than similar-sized properties with B-rated BERs (€800-€1,200), indicating immediate savings potential through upgrades.
- Hypothesis: The E2 BER rating is a significant detractor from this property's potential value, costing approximately €300-€500 more annually in energy costs compared to a D-rated property. Strategic investment in insulation and a heat pump, costing €8,000-€12,000, could not only reduce these costs but also enhance the property's desirability and saleability, potentially yielding a 5-8% increase in market value.
Amenities
Excellent Public Transport Links: The property is well-served by a number of Dublin Bus routes, including routes 215, 220, and 226, offering convenient access to Cork city centre.
Details
- Proximity to Key Services: Located in Douglas, residents have easy access to amenities such as Douglas Court Shopping Centre, local pharmacies like Douglas Pharmacy, and healthcare facilities like the Bon Secours Hospital Cork, all within a short drive.
- Local Educational Hub: The area boasts numerous educational facilities, including St. Columba's Boys' National School, St. Columba's Girls' National School, and Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh (secondary school), making it attractive for families.
- Hypothesis: The ongoing investment in public transport infrastructure in Cork, particularly the expansion of bus corridors and potential future light rail developments, will continue to boost the connectivity of areas like Douglas. This property, situated within a well-established residential zone with strong bus links, is likely to benefit from increased accessibility and commuter convenience, potentially adding 3-5% to its value over the next two years as public transport options become even more attractive.
