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
Suboptimal BER Rating: The C2 BER rating suggests potential for significant energy cost savings through upgrades, as properties with a B2 rating typically save €800-€1,200 annually compared to C-rated homes of similar size.
Details
- Size Advantage: At 120m², the apartment is larger than the median of 2 bedrooms and 3 bedrooms typically seen in the wider market (100km radius), offering more usable space.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the BER from C2 to B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but may increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a strategic investment.
- Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while not dire, represents a missed opportunity for immediate value enhancement and energy efficiency savings, suggesting that properties with higher BER ratings are likely to command a premium in the local Co. Laois market, especially as energy costs continue to fluctuate.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Co. Laois, being outside the immediate Dublin commuter belt, lacks direct Luas, DART, or major Dublin Bus routes mentioned in the data, suggesting reliance on private transport for commuting.
Details
- Local Educational Access: Access to educational facilities would likely be via local schools in Portlaoise or other towns, as no specific primary or secondary schools are listed as directly serving this 'Co. Laois' address.
- Healthcare Proximity: While specific clinics aren't detailed, general healthcare access would be through local GPs and potentially Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise, the nearest major facility, approximately 15-20km away.
- Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' designation for this Co. Laois property, combined with the absence of specific public transport routes in the provided data, indicates that its value proposition is heavily tied to local amenities and community infrastructure rather than commuter benefits, implying that future development focusing on enhanced public transport links could significantly boost its attractiveness and value.
