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 C Rating: With a BER rating of C, this property offers moderate energy efficiency. Upgrading from a C rating to a B2 rating could potentially cost €6,000-€9,000 and might increase property value by €10,000-€15,000, while potentially reducing annual energy costs by €400-€700 compared to D-rated properties.
Generous Size: At 120.0m², this property offers a good amount of space for a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom end-of-terrace home, providing ample living area compared to potentially smaller typical properties in the immediate 1km radius where 29 properties are located.
Value Optimization: The property's estimated value of €409,836.22 is slightly higher than its asking price of €395,000, offering a potential immediate upside of approximately €14,836 if the market supports the estimated valuation.
Hypothesis: While the BER C rating is acceptable, the 3 bathrooms for 3 bedrooms suggest a layout focused on convenience, which might be a key selling point that commands a premium over properties with more standard 3-bed, 1-bath configurations, especially if located in a high-demand area for family amenities.
Amenities
Transport Links: While specific route numbers are not provided for Castletownshend, Co. Cork, areas outside Dublin typically rely on Bus Éireann services for regional connectivity, with local hubs often providing access to larger towns or cities.
Local Services: Castletownshend is a village known for its picturesque harbour and local amenities, likely including small convenience shops, cafes, and potentially a local pub, contributing to a tranquil lifestyle.
Walkability: Coastal villages like Castletownshend are generally highly walkable, with pedestrian access to local shops, the waterfront, and surrounding scenic routes, enhancing the quality of life for residents.
Hypothesis: The value of this property is significantly driven by its lifestyle appeal as a coastal village home rather than its connectivity to major urban centers; therefore, improvements in local infrastructure, such as enhanced public transport links or the development of new community facilities, could disproportionately boost its market value.
