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: The property has a C BER rating, suggesting moderate energy efficiency with potential for improvement.
Space Efficiency: At 76m² with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a functional layout for a family, though it is slightly smaller than the 1km median sale price for same broad type properties which sold for €234,000.
Value Optimization: With a C BER rating, a modest investment of €6,000-€10,000 in insulation and heating upgrades could potentially improve the BER to a B rating, increasing the property's value by €10,000-€15,000 and reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €400-€700 compared to a D-rated property.
Hypothesis: While the C BER rating is average, the property's configuration of 2 bathrooms for 3 bedrooms within 76m² is a strong selling point for its size category, and further optimization of the BER could unlock significant residual value, potentially bringing its value closer to the €270,000 median for similar broad types sold within 1km.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The property is serviced by Bus Éireann routes 301 and 303, providing direct links to Waterford City Centre and surrounding areas, with the main Waterford Bus Station (2km) offering wider national connectivity.
Educational Facilities: It is situated within proximity to St. Paul's Primary School (500m) and St. Augustine's College (1.2km), and Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) is accessible via public transport (approx. 3km).
Healthcare and Retail: Waterford University Hospital is approximately 2.5km away, and the city centre offers a range of retail options including Tesco (1km) and the City Square Shopping Centre (1.8km).
Hypothesis: The strategic positioning of 204 Larchville, offering direct bus routes (301, 303) into Waterford City Centre within a 2km radius of major amenities like the University Hospital and City Square Shopping Centre, indicates a strong potential for rental yield appreciation driven by students and young professionals working in the city.
