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 C1 Efficiency: With a C1 BER rating, the property's annual energy costs are estimated to be approximately €1,200-€1,600, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Spacious Living: The 137m² size positions this 3-bed, 2-bath semi-detached property as comfortably large for its type, aligning with the median 3-bed, 2-bath configuration common in the market.
Value Optimization: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades from a C1 BER to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €6,000-€10,000 and potentially increase property value by €9,000-€15,000.
Hypothesis: While the C1 BER is respectable, a strategic investment in further insulation and heating upgrades could significantly boost its energy efficiency score and long-term value, particularly given the rising energy costs and increasing buyer preference for A/B rated homes.
