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 Upgrade Investment: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, yet potentially increase the property's market value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment opportunity.
Details
- Significant Energy Cost Savings: A D1 BER rating results in estimated annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200 for a property of this size, which could be reduced by €1,000-€1,400 annually if improved to a B-rated standard.
- Generous Space & Modern Amenities: At 100m² with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this semi-detached property offers ample living space and a higher-than-average bathroom count compared to the median 2 bathrooms in the 5km radius, enhancing its appeal and functionality.
- Hypothesis: Given the D1 BER and the increasing market demand for energy-efficient homes, a strategic investment in a BER upgrade would not only significantly reduce running costs for the new owner but also enhance the property's long-term resale value and market attractiveness.
Amenities
