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 Efficiency Savings: With a B1 BER rating, this apartment is likely to have significantly lower annual energy costs compared to a D-rated property of similar size, potentially saving €1,000-€1,400 annually.
Size Efficiency: At 86m², this apartment offers a good balance of living space for its 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, aligning well with typical modern apartment standards.
Value Optimization Potential: While the B1 BER is good, upgrading to an A-rating would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and further reduce running costs.
Hypothesis: The B1 BER rating provides a solid foundation for energy efficiency, but the market premium for A-rated properties in this area, as suggested by the potential value increase from upgrades, indicates that investing in further energy efficiency improvements could yield a strong return on investment and enhance long-term marketability.
Amenities
Transport Hub Access: While specific route numbers are not provided, Ballincollig is well-served by Dublin Bus, offering connectivity to major routes, and the nearest train station would likely be Cork Kent (approx. 10km).
Local Conveniences: The Maltings development is situated near Ballincollig town centre, offering access to numerous amenities including shops, supermarkets like Dunnes Stores, and restaurants.
Green Space and Leisure: Residents have convenient access to the Ballincollig Regional Park, a large urban park ideal for walking, cycling, and family outings, enhancing the lifestyle appeal.
Hypothesis: The established infrastructure of Ballincollig, including its comprehensive bus network and proximity to essential services and the large regional park, suggests a robust local ecosystem that supports property values and buyer appeal, especially for those prioritizing convenience and an active lifestyle outside of Dublin.
