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 Rating Concern: The 'SI_666' BER rating is very poor, and upgrading from this level to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000, potentially increasing property value by €20,000-€25,000.
Costly Upgrades: Assuming a D-rated BER equivalent for cost comparison, the current annual energy costs are likely €2,000-€2,500, whereas a B-rated property of this size would be €1,000-€1,500, a saving of €1,000-€1,500 annually.
Generous Space: With 137.0m², this property offers a larger living area than many comparable terrace homes, potentially adding a value premium of 5-10% if well-maintained.
Hypothesis: The significant disparity between the property's current BER rating and the typical B or C ratings of recently sold properties within a 1km radius suggests a prime opportunity for value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, potentially unlocking a higher market appeal and sale price.
