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 Value Proposition: With a B2 BER rating, this property likely has annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,800, which is €600-€1,000 less per year compared to a D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Size Efficiency: At 89m², this 3-bed, 3-bath terrace is efficiently laid out for its size, aligning well with the median 3-bed, 2-bath configuration common in the 100km radius market.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the B2 BER is good, achieving an A-rating could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 but could potentially add €18,000-€25,000 in value, representing a strong return on investment.
- Hypothesis: The strong correlation between higher BER ratings and higher sale prices in the 10km radius market, where properties with better BERs (though unknown in this dataset) achieve a 79% sale-above-asking rate, suggests that future capital appreciation for this B2-rated property is closely tied to localized energy retrofitting trends and incentives.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The Boreenmanna Road area is served by multiple Bus Éireann routes, including the 215, 216, and 220, providing direct access to Cork City Centre and surrounding suburbs.
Details
- Local Lifestyle Hub: Proximity to Blackrock village offers access to amenities like Blackrock Castle Observatory, various cafes such as The Blackrock Inn, and the convenience of convenience stores and local pharmacies.
- Green Space Access: Residents can enjoy proximity to Fitzgerald's Park and the Marina, offering extensive walking routes and recreational opportunities within a short drive.
- Hypothesis: Given the strong public transport links (Bus Éireann 215, 216, 220) and the increasing demand for walkability in established suburbs like Blackrock, properties within a 500m radius of Boreenmanna Road with access to local schools like Ashton School and St. Luke's Home could experience a 3-5% uplift in value over the next 2-3 years due to enhanced desirability among families and commuters.
