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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but may increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Standard Size for Area: At 120m², this semi-detached property is of a comparable size to the median 3-bedroom properties in the broader market, offering adequate living space.
- Value Optimization: With a D1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, presenting an opportunity to enhance long-term value and reduce running costs through targeted insulation and heating upgrades.
- Hypothesis: The D1 BER rating, while below current best practice, aligns with the 100km_180d_ber_unknown_pct metric of 100%, suggesting that a significant portion of the wider market also has lower energy efficiency ratings, making targeted BER upgrades a clear differentiator for this property.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific bus routes for Portlaoise are not detailed, its 'Outside Dublin' location suggests reliance on local bus services and potential connections to larger transport hubs for wider connectivity.
Details
- Local Services Access: Portlaoise town centre, typically offering supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, along with essential services like Portlaoise General Hospital, is likely within a short driving distance.
- Educational Proximity: The area likely benefits from a range of local primary and secondary schools, with potential proximity to the Portlaoise Educate Together National School or Scoil Bhríde for younger children.
- Hypothesis: Given Portlaoise's status as a significant town, the R32HV2X postal code's proximity to the Dublin Road likely provides good access to local amenities and transport links, supporting its commuter town potential for those working in or commuting towards Dublin, despite not being directly served by Dublin's public transport network.
