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
Exceptional BER Rating: The A2 BER rating suggests significantly lower annual energy costs, estimated to be €800-€1,200, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property of similar size, resulting in annual savings of €1,000-€1,400.
Generous Configuration: With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this property significantly exceeds the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms sold within a 1km radius over the last 90 days, offering superior utility and potential for larger families or guests.
Size Advantage: The 120m² size is double the average property size of 60m² recorded within a 1km radius over the last 180 days, providing substantial living space and a clear advantage in terms of comfort and perceived value.
Hypothesis: Given the A2 BER rating, the property is positioned for lower long-term running costs, a key factor for future buyers, and the configuration of 4 beds and 4 baths is ideal for attracting families or those seeking multi-generational living, further supporting potential value appreciation beyond current market trends.
