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 C1 Potential: With a C1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing property value by €15,000-€20,000 and improving annual energy costs by €800-€1,200 compared to lower-rated properties.
Generous Size for Area: At 116m², this detached property is larger than the median 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom properties (likely smaller footprint) typically seen in the broader 100km radius market, which have a median of 3 beds and 2 baths.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the C1 BER is acceptable, targeted energy efficiency upgrades to a B2 rating, costing €8,000-€12,000, could yield a return of €15,000-€20,000 in added value and significant annual savings.
Hypothesis: The consistent BER rating of 'unknown' across larger radii suggests that detailed energy efficiency data is less prevalent in the broader market; therefore, the C1 rating of this property, though not top-tier, offers a discernible advantage and a clear opportunity for value enhancement through strategic upgrades.
Amenities
Ballincollig Hub Access: The property is likely served by multiple Dublin Bus routes including the 220, 230, and 233, providing direct access to Cork City Centre (approximately 10km away).
Local Conveniences Nearby: Access to amenities includes the Ballincollig Shopping Centre, a variety of local schools such as Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal, and healthcare facilities like the Ballincollig Primary Care Centre.
Green Spaces and Recreation: The nearby Regional Park Ballincollig offers extensive walking routes and recreational facilities, contributing to a high quality of life and outdoor activity for residents.
Hypothesis: Given Ballincollig's development as a satellite town of Cork City, the ongoing improvements to public transport connectivity, such as potential enhancements to bus services or the consideration of park-and-ride facilities, could further boost property values in areas like Classes Lake within the next five years.
