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 Improvement Opportunity: The 'SI_666' BER rating is classified as 'Unknown' by the data, but if it represents a lower band (e.g., D or E), upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Spacious Configuration: With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this property offers a good configuration for larger families, exceeding the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found within the 100km radius.
Value Optimization Potential: The current 'Unknown' BER rating presents an opportunity for value enhancement; if the property has a poor rating, investing in insulation and heating upgrades could yield a 2-3% uplift in market value.
Hypothesis: The unknown BER rating for this property represents a significant blind spot for potential buyers, and assuming it falls into the D-rated category (common for older stock outside Dublin), a proactive €10,000 investment in energy efficiency upgrades could not only reduce annual running costs by an estimated €800-€1,200 but also make the property significantly more attractive, potentially commanding a 5-7% higher sale price in the medium term.
Amenities
Transport Links: While specific routes are not detailed, its 'outside Dublin' location suggests reliance on local bus services and potentially national train services from nearby Waterford City, impacting commuter times.
Local Services: Faithlegg is a village setting, likely offering basic local amenities; however, access to larger shopping centres, diverse restaurants, and comprehensive healthcare facilities would necessitate travel to nearby Waterford City.
Green Space Access: The Faithlegg area is known for its scenic surroundings, with opportunities for outdoor activities likely available through nearby parks and coastal areas, enhancing quality of life.
Hypothesis: The 'outside Dublin' classification for Faithlegg, Co. Waterford, implies a need to investigate specific local public transport links, as an assumed lack of direct bus routes or train stations within close proximity to Willow Wood could add 20-30 minutes to daily commutes to key employment hubs compared to properties within immediate Dublin catchment areas.
