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 Improvement Potential: With an E1 BER rating, upgrading to a C1 BER would likely cost between €10,000 and €15,000, potentially increasing the property's market value by €18,000 to €25,000, representing a valuable investment.
Size and Configuration: The property offers 120m² with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is a somewhat unusual configuration for its size, potentially impacting its appeal to a wider range of buyers compared to a 3-bedroom layout.
Cost Optimization Opportunity: Given the E1 BER, annual energy costs are estimated at €1,700-€2,100; optimizing this through insulation and heating upgrades could save €700-€1,000 annually, and significantly enhance buyer appeal.
Hypothesis: The €190,488 standard deviation in sale prices within 1km suggests significant variability in property quality or location factors affecting value, meaning that even with a BER upgrade, the final sale price will be highly dependent on the property's specific condition and micro-location within the 1km radius.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not listed, the T12HFN3 Eircode in Blackrock, Co. Cork, typically benefits from extensive bus services, likely including Cork's Bus Éireann routes serving the wider city and surrounding areas.

Hypothesis: The strong walkability score associated with Blackrock village, combined with proximity to educational facilities like 'St. Michael's National School' and 'Coláiste an Spáinnéar', suggests that properties in this area are highly desirable for families prioritizing convenience and local amenities, which could drive sustained demand and value appreciation.
