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
Energy Efficiency Benefit: With a C3 BER rating, this property is projected to incur annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600, potentially saving buyers €600-€1,000 annually compared to typical D-rated properties of similar size.
Details

- Optimal Layout Configuration: Boasting 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this home is configured above the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for properties sold within a 1km radius, catering effectively to larger households.
- Hypothesis: The property's superior size and practical configuration, combined with its respectable C3 BER, provides a strong foundation for long-term value appreciation; minor cosmetic upgrades could unlock significant additional equity, exceeding typical market gains for homes of average size.
