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 Advantage: With a B3 BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, potentially saving €800-€1,200 annually in energy costs compared to properties with D-rated BERs (estimated €1,800-€2,200 for similar sized homes).
Details
- Optimised Space: The 82m² size for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom terrace property is generally well-proportioned and aligns with typical market expectations for this property type.
- Value Enhancement Opportunity: While the B3 BER is positive, upgrades to an A-rated BER, costing an estimated €8,000-€12,000, could potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
- Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER rating, the property is well-positioned for energy-conscious buyers, but a strategic investment in further energy efficiency upgrades, targeting an A-rating, could yield a return on investment exceeding 150% in terms of property value uplift compared to upgrade costs, making it a compelling proposition for future-proofing and maximizing resale value.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Without specific bus route numbers, train station names, or Luas/DART stops listed for Durrus, Co. Cork, direct public transport connectivity for commuters is likely limited, requiring reliance on private vehicles.
Details
- Local Services Access: While specific details are unavailable, Durrus is a village, suggesting access to essential local amenities such as a local shop, a primary school, and potentially a pub or cafe, catering to daily needs.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The location outside of major urban centres like Dublin offers a distinct lifestyle, often appealing to those seeking a quieter environment with access to natural landscapes.
- Hypothesis: The scarcity of specific public transport data for Durrus suggests a reliance on regional bus services that may require changes to reach larger hubs, positioning the property as more suited to individuals who prioritize a rural lifestyle or have established private transport arrangements, rather than those seeking seamless daily commutes to major employment centres.
