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
Good BER Rating: With a B3 BER rating, this property benefits from good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs around €1,000-€1,300, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for properties with D-rated BERs in the area.
Details
- Efficient Layout: The 106m² size with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is well-configured for a semi-detached family home, aligning with the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found in nearby sales within 100km.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the B3 BER is positive, upgrading to an A-rated BER would likely cost €9,000-€13,000 and could potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000, offering a clear return on investment.
- Hypothesis: The B3 BER, while good, represents a missed opportunity for significant value uplift in a market where premium energy efficiency is increasingly sought after, suggesting that minor targeted upgrades could yield a disproportionately higher return than reflected in the current market data for similar properties.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no direct Luas, DART, or specific Dublin Bus routes mentioned as serving Millstreet directly, indicating potential reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Details
- Local Essentials Available: While specific shop names are not provided, the area likely offers basic local retail and services due to its residential nature, catering to daily needs.
- Health & Education Access: Millstreet's health services would typically be provided by local GPs and potentially a regional hospital in Cork city (over 70km away), with primary and secondary schools likely situated within the town itself.
- Hypothesis: The relative lack of direct public transport links from Millstreet to major employment hubs like Cork city suggests that properties in this specific locale are primarily catering to local employment or a lifestyle choice for remote workers, a factor that may limit broader buyer appeal and suppress property value growth compared to better-connected areas.
