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.

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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the F BER rating to a C2 could cost an estimated €12,000-€18,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€30,000, representing a strong return on investment.
Size Efficiency: At 132m², this semi-detached home offers a reasonable size, but its value perception may be impacted by the lower BER rating compared to contemporary standards.
Value Optimization: The F BER rating suggests potential for significant energy efficiency upgrades. Investing €15,000 in insulation, heating, and ventilation could improve the BER to a B2, potentially adding €25,000 in market value and reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €1,500-€2,000.
Hypothesis: Given the F BER rating, a strategic focus on energy efficiency upgrades to at least a C rating could unlock significant buyer appeal, particularly as energy costs continue to be a primary concern, potentially making the property more competitive against higher-rated homes in the €500,000-€600,000 range within 3km.
