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 Impact: The E2 BER rating suggests potential annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for B-rated properties of similar size.
Details
- Upgrade Investment Opportunity: Upgrading this E2 BER to a B2 rating is estimated to cost €8,000-€12,000 but could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a return on investment.
- Compact Living Space: At 70.0m², this semi-detached property is on the smaller side, with the median size for houses within 5km being likely larger based on the general market trend of 3-bedroom properties.
- Hypothesis: The current E2 BER rating, while costly to operate, presents a clear opportunity for value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, which are likely to be well-received by future buyers in this price-sensitive market.
Amenities
Transport Links: While specific routes are not provided for Blarney Street, Cork, typical Cork city properties of this nature are usually served by Cork City Council bus routes such as the 206, 207, and 214 which connect to the city centre and surrounding areas.
