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 Upgrade Opportunity: A C3 BER rating suggests potential for improvement; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Efficient Space Utilization: The property offers 120.0m² of living space with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, representing a functional layout that aligns with typical family needs in the area.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the C3 BER rating is average, focusing on targeted energy efficiency upgrades could unlock further value, as properties with higher BER ratings typically command a premium and have lower running costs.
- Hypothesis: The C3 BER rating, while not poor, presents a clear opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in insulation and heating system upgrades, estimated to cost between €8,000 and €12,000, could not only reduce annual energy bills by an estimated €400-€600 compared to a D-rated property but also boost the property's market appeal and resale value by €15,000-€20,000.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific route numbers are not provided, Portlaoise is a key hub with direct bus services to Dublin and other major towns, and the local train station offers frequent services to Dublin Heuston.
Details
- Local Conveniences: The Portlaoise area offers essential amenities including supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, a variety of local shops, and healthcare facilities such as Portlaoise General Hospital and numerous pharmacies.
- Family & Lifestyle Hub: Residents have access to educational institutions like Scoil Bhríde National School and Portlaoise College, alongside parks such as the Peoples Park, catering to family needs and leisure activities.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Portlaoise, a strategic town with improving infrastructure and connectivity, suggests that while it may lack direct urban transit like Luas or DART, its strong regional bus and rail links, coupled with a growing range of local amenities and services, position it well for future appreciation, especially if further public transport enhancements are planned.
