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 Advantage: With a B3 BER rating, this apartment benefits from a better energy efficiency profile than many older properties, potentially leading to annual energy cost savings of €600-€1,000 compared to a typical D-rated property of similar size.
Space Efficiency: The 86m² apartment offers a generous layout with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a configuration that aligns well with demand for family-oriented or multi-generational living in many markets.
Value Optimization Potential: While the BER is B3, further investment to achieve an A-rating (costing approximately €10,000-€15,000) could increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000 and enhance its market appeal.
Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER, the property is positioned favourably for energy efficiency, but a comparative analysis of BER ratings for the 2 homes sold within 1km in the last 180 days could reveal if this B3 rating represents a market standard or an advantage, informing the urgency and ROI of further energy upgrades.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific bus routes are not detailed, Castlemartyr is served by bus services that connect to Cork City, and the nearest train station is likely Midleton (approx. 10-15km), offering reasonable, though not immediate, public transport options.
Local Facilities: The area provides essential amenities, including local shops, a post office, and access to healthcare facilities and pharmacies within Castlemartyr itself or nearby towns like Midleton.
Educational Access: Residents have access to local primary schools in Castlemartyr, with secondary schools and third-level institutions available in nearby towns such as Midleton and Cork City, ensuring educational options for families.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport route numbers and immediate train station access within the provided data suggests that commuter reliance on private vehicles is likely high, potentially impacting the property's appeal for a segment of the market seeking strong public transport links to urban centres.
