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 Potential: With a C1 BER rating, potential upgrades to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000, likely increasing property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Cost Savings Opportunity: A C1 BER rating suggests annual energy costs of approximately €1,500-€1,900, compared to €800-€1,200 for similar-sized A/B-rated properties, offering potential annual savings of €700-€1,100.
Space Efficiency: At 95.0m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached home is a common and desirable configuration for families in the area.
Hypothesis: Given the C1 BER rating and the generally improving energy efficiency standards in new builds, properties with lower ratings like this may see a progressive discount in value over the next 5-10 years unless significant retrofitting is undertaken, making immediate upgrades a strategic long-term investment.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Fermoy is served by Bus Éireann routes, with key services connecting to Cork City, making it a viable commuter town for those working in larger urban centers.
Local Services: The area benefits from proximity to Fermoy town centre, which offers a range of essential services including supermarkets like Dunnes Stores and Lidl, along with local shops and pharmacies.
Family Amenities: Proximity to schools such as Fermoy National School and Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh, along with local parks like Fitzgerald Park, supports family living.
Hypothesis: The ongoing development and potential future expansion of public transport links serving Fermoy, driven by population growth in the wider Cork region, could significantly enhance the property's long-term value and commuter appeal.
