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 Investment: The C1 BER rating indicates moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 rating would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 and could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a positive return on investment.
Details
- Size and Configuration: At 79m², the apartment offers a comfortable living space with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which aligns with the median of 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms in the 10km radius market, suggesting a good configuration for its size.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER is C1, a future upgrade to a B-rated level could enhance long-term value and appeal, potentially increasing its saleability against properties with superior ratings and offering annual energy savings estimated at €500-€1,000 compared to D-rated properties.
- Hypothesis: The current C1 BER rating, while not optimal, presents a clear opportunity for capital appreciation through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, potentially allowing the property to command a premium closer to the P75 sale prices seen within a 10km radius if modernized.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: This property is served by Dublin Bus routes 25A, 25B, 219, and 220, providing direct access to Cork City Centre and surrounding areas, and is approximately a 15-minute drive to Cork Kent Train Station.
Details
- Local Lifestyle Hub: Situated within proximity to Ballincollig town centre, residents have easy access to amenities such as the Dunnes Stores, Aldi, SuperValu supermarkets, the Quish Park Cinema, and numerous local restaurants and cafes like Luigi Malones.
- Family and Education Access: The property is well-located for families, with St. Mary's National School and Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál (secondary school) within a 1km radius, and the Ballincollig Community Centre and GAA club offering local sports and recreational facilities.
- Hypothesis: The strong public transport links and proximity to Ballincollig's rapidly developing commercial and recreational infrastructure, including planned greenways and town centre improvements, indicate a high potential for sustained property value growth and rental demand.
