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 C2 Efficiency: With a C2 BER rating, this property's annual energy costs are estimated to be between €1,500-€2,000, compared to €2,200-€2,800 for a D-rated property of similar size in the area, offering moderate annual savings of €700-€800.
Details
- Spacious Layout: The 103m² size for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home is slightly larger than the typical configuration in the broader 100km radius market where the median size is not specified but likely similar, offering comfortable living space.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the current BER is C2, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment for improved energy efficiency and market appeal.
- Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while not poor, presents a clear opportunity for value enhancement through targeted insulation and heating system upgrades, potentially increasing saleability and future capital growth in a market increasingly driven by energy performance.
Amenities
Connectivity Options: New Ross is served by Bus Éireann routes, including the 360 to Waterford and the 360A to Wexford, providing regional transport links, though no direct Luas or DART services are available within the immediate area.
Details
- Local Services Hub: Residents have access to a range of amenities including primary schools like St. Mary's National School and secondary schools such as Our Lady of Fatima Secondary School, along with supermarkets like Dunnes Stores and Tesco, and the local St. Luke's Hospital.
- Walkable Town Centre: The property's location provides reasonable walkability to New Ross town centre, offering access to local shops, cafes like The Crafty Cow, and parks such as the JFK Memorial Park and Arboretum, contributing to a good quality of life.
- Hypothesis: The absence of direct rail connectivity to major urban centres like Dublin means that while New Ross offers a self-sufficient community with good local amenities, its appeal for daily commuters to Dublin may be limited, impacting its potential valuation compared to towns with direct rail links.
