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 C3 Opportunity: While a C3 BER rating is not poor, strategic upgrades to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000 based on typical market uplift for energy efficiency.
Optimised Size: At 61.0m², this 2-bedroom apartment offers a sensible space-to-bedroom ratio, aligning well with typical demand for starter homes or small families in Kilkenny, avoiding the inefficiency of overly large or cramped units.
Value Enhancement Potential: Addressing the C3 BER rating through targeted insulation and heating upgrades could lead to annual energy cost savings of an estimated €400-€700 compared to a D-rated property of similar size, enhancing its long-term appeal and reducing operational expenses.
Hypothesis: Given that the median sale price per square meter within a 1km radius is €3,376, and the property is 61.0m², optimizing its BER from C3 to B2 could unlock an additional €3,376 per sqm in perceived value, yielding up to €205,900 in potential value enhancement if the full uplift is realized.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: This property is located outside Dublin, and the provided data does not specify direct bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations serving this specific Kilkenny address, suggesting reliance on local bus services or private transport.
Local Convenience: Kilkenny city offers a range of amenities including St. Patrick's Boys National School and St. Brigid's Boys National School for education, a Lidl supermarket for retail, and St. Luke's Hospital for healthcare, all within reasonable proximity.
Walkability and Green Space: While specific walking routes are not detailed, Kilkenny city centre, with its shops, cafes like Kilkenny Design Centre, and parks such as the Medieval Mile, is accessible, promoting a lifestyle with local amenities within walking or short driving distance.
Hypothesis: The absence of specific public transport mentions like Dublin Bus routes or Luas stops suggests that properties in this Kilkenny location primarily rely on private vehicle transport, which could impact rental yields and desirability for commuters who prioritize direct public transit links to larger urban centers.
