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 Advantage: With a C1 BER rating, this 81m² property offers an estimated annual energy cost of €1,300-€1,700, potentially saving buyers €500-€900 annually compared to a D-rated semi-detached property of similar size, which typically incurs €1,800-€2,200.
Details
- Optimal Size and Configuration: The property's 81m² layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms aligns perfectly with the median bedroom and bathroom count for properties sold across all local market radii (5km, 10km, 20km) over the last 180 days, indicating a popular and functional configuration.
- Future Value Uplift: Investing €6,000-€10,000 in targeted BER upgrades to achieve a B2 rating could further enhance energy savings and potentially increase the property's market value by €10,000-€15,000, representing a strategic and profitable improvement opportunity.
- Hypothesis: Mid-Tier BER Appeal: The C1 BER rating positions this property attractively for buyers seeking a balance between initial purchase cost and running expenses, allowing for a strategic, less expensive upgrade path to a B-rating compared to more energy-inefficient properties (D-G), thus widening its buyer pool and future re-sale appeal.
Amenities
Key Transport Access: Residents benefit from connectivity via Cobh Train Station, offering direct rail services to Cork Kent Station (approx 2.5km distance), and Bus Éireann Route 225/225L services from Cobh town centre (approx 2.5km), linking to Cork City.
Details
- Family & Lifestyle Conveniences: The area provides essential family amenities including Gaelscoil Uí Éigeartaigh (primary, approx 2km) and Cobh Community College (secondary, approx 2.5km), alongside SuperValu Cobh (approx 2.5km) for daily shopping needs and the picturesque Cobh Promenade (approx 2.5km) for leisure.
- Healthcare and Services: Access to healthcare is available at Cobh Medical Centre (approx 2.5km) and Cobh Community Hospital (approx 3km), complemented by various local pharmacies within the town centre, ensuring essential services are within a reasonable driving or walking distance.
- Hypothesis: Expanding Peripheral Appeal: While Bayview Estate is slightly removed from Cobh's immediate town centre, the area's increasing property demand and value growth suggest that buyers are increasingly prioritising quiet residential areas with good road access, viewing the short 2-3km commute to central amenities and transport as a minor trade-off for better value and space.
