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 B3 Efficiency: The B3 BER rating suggests good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of approximately €1,100-€1,500, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for a typical D-rated property of similar size.
Generous Space: At 136m², this semi-detached property offers ample living space, which is well-suited for a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom configuration and is likely larger than the average property type sold within 1km (which had 7 sales of the same broad type).
Value Optimization Potential: While the BER is good, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €5,000-€8,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000.
Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER rating, this property is likely to attract buyers prioritizing lower running costs. Further investment in minor upgrades, such as enhanced insulation or solar panels, could push the BER to a B1 or A-rated status, potentially adding a 5-8% premium to its market value in the Kingscourt area.
Amenities
Connectivity Hub: While specific routes are not detailed, Kingscourt is generally served by Bus Éireann routes connecting to major towns and cities, facilitating travel outside the immediate area.
Local Services Access: The town of Kingscourt provides essential amenities including supermarkets like SuperValu, healthcare facilities, and various shops, catering to daily needs.
Community Infrastructure: The area likely benefits from local primary and secondary schools, such as St. Joseph's National School and Virginia College, and family-focused amenities like local parks and sports facilities.
Hypothesis: The demand for properties in Kingscourt, evidenced by the consistent sales data within the 1km and 10km radii, is likely driven by a balance of affordable property prices and a sufficient level of local amenities and connectivity that appeals to families and those seeking a balance between rural and town living.
