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 Efficiency Advantage: With a B BER rating, this apartment will incur annual energy costs estimated at €1,000-€1,400, significantly lower than the €1,800-€2,200 expected for a D-rated property of similar size.
Spacious Apartment Design: Measuring 120m² with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this apartment offers a generous 60m² per bedroom, exceeding the average space allocation for similar local apartment types.
Value Optimization Potential: While BER B offers good efficiency, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €3,000-€5,000 and potentially increase property value by €5,000-€8,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Hypothesis: The presence of only 3 'same broad type' sales within 1km over 180 days, compared to 271 total sales within 10km, suggests a niche market for this specific apartment type, where unique features like the 2 bathrooms and B BER rating could command a premium if marketed effectively.
Amenities
