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 C2 Potential: The C2 BER rating suggests potential for energy cost savings of approximately €800-€1,000 annually compared to D-rated properties of similar size in the area.
Details
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the BER from C2 to B2 could cost an estimated €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a good return on investment.
- Compact Living Space: At 75m², the property offers a standard, efficient living space for a 3-bedroom terrace, aligning with the median size of properties in the 5km radius.
- Hypothesis: Given the C2 BER rating, targeted insulation and heating upgrades could push the property towards a B rating, a threshold that demonstrably commands a 2-3% price premium in markets with increasing energy cost sensitivity.
Amenities
Transport Hub Access: The property is well-connected with Waterford City Centre's bus services, offering access to routes serving various parts of the city and surrounding towns.
Details
- Local Educational Proximity: Within close proximity are primary schools such as St. Paul's Primary School and secondary options like St. Augustine's College, enhancing family appeal.
- Urban Convenience: Residents benefit from the numerous shops, supermarkets, and healthcare facilities available within walking distance in Waterford City Centre, promoting a convenient lifestyle.
- Hypothesis: The ongoing regeneration projects within Waterford City Centre, evidenced by recent planning applications for mixed-use developments, are likely to further enhance the walkability and amenity offering, potentially boosting property values in this specific location over the next 2-3 years.
