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 Rating Concerns: The 'SI_666' BER rating is a significant concern, likely indicating a low energy efficiency score which could lead to higher heating costs compared to modern standards.
Cost of Upgrade: Improving a low BER rating (assuming it's E, F, or G) to a C or B standard could cost approximately €10,000-€20,000, potentially increasing property value by €15,000-€25,000, representing an investment opportunity.
Size Efficiency: With 90m² across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the property offers a reasonable density of bathrooms for its size, potentially appealing to families or those valuing convenience, though the overall space per room might be moderate.
Hypothesis: The 'SI_666' BER rating, while specific, is likely indicative of poor energy performance. A strategic investment in upgrades to achieve a B2 rating, potentially costing €10,000-€15,000, could yield an estimated €20,000-€30,000 increase in property value and reduce annual energy costs by €800-€1,200 compared to its current rating, making it a financially prudent enhancement.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: As a property in Courtmacsherry, West Cork, direct access to specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART lines serving major urban centers like Dublin is highly unlikely; residents would likely rely on local bus services with infrequent schedules and long journey times to major hubs.
Local Lifestyle Amenities: Courtmacsherry offers a coastal village lifestyle with access to beaches, the Seven Heads Peninsula for walks, and local pubs and cafes, catering to a quieter, nature-focused existence rather than urban convenience.
Rural Healthcare and Education: Access to comprehensive healthcare facilities would likely require travel to larger towns like Bandon or Cork City, and while local national schools may exist, secondary and third-level education options would be more limited and require commuting.
Hypothesis: The value proposition of 28 Cois Cuain is intrinsically tied to its West Cork coastal location, prioritizing lifestyle and natural amenity over urban connectivity; therefore, its appeal and valuation will be driven by buyers seeking this specific rural retreat, rather than those prioritizing easy commutes or access to a wide array of urban amenities, with its limited transport links and distance from major service centers being defining factors.
