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 Potential: Upgrading the E2 BER rating to a C2 would likely cost between €8,000 and €12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000 to €20,000 based on comparable improvements in the area.
Energy Cost Disparity: With an E2 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,600-€2,000, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Size Efficiency: At 70m², this 2-bedroom house is on the smaller side for its type, but its price per square meter of €3,000 (based on asking price) sits below the 1km median of €2,828 when considering the €210,000 asking price. It should be compared against similar size properties.
Hypothesis: The current E2 BER rating represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement, as the €8,000-€12,000 investment to reach a C2 rating could yield an immediate capital uplift and substantially reduce ongoing energy expenditures, making it a prime candidate for a strategic renovation.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific bus routes and train station names are not provided for this Waterford City address, its designation as 'Outside Dublin' suggests reliance on local bus services and potentially the Waterford train station for regional connectivity.
Educational Facilities: Proximity to Waterford Institute of Technology and numerous primary and secondary schools within Waterford City would be a significant draw for families and students.
Healthcare Access: The presence of University Hospital Waterford and various clinics within Waterford City ensures robust healthcare access for residents.
Hypothesis: Given its location in Waterford City, the property's value will be strongly influenced by its proximity to the city centre's amenities and transport hubs, with properties closer to the recently upgraded Waterford Greenway and the planned metropolitan park likely to command a premium due to enhanced lifestyle and connectivity.
