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 A2 Advantage: With an A2 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated at €800-€1,200, significantly lower than the €1,800-€2,200 for similar-sized D-rated properties in the area.
Generous Size and Space: At 149.0m², this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom semi-detached home offers ample living space, exceeding typical requirements for its type and potentially justifying a portion of the higher value.
BER Upgrade Potential: While A2 is excellent, minimal incremental value would be gained from further BER upgrades, suggesting focus should be on other value-enhancing features rather than energy efficiency alone.
Hypothesis: The A2 BER rating, while excellent, provides only a marginal advantage over a B2 rating which might be achieved with an estimated €8,000-€12,000 investment, suggesting that while energy efficiency is a strong selling point, further value optimization should focus on aesthetic enhancements and unique features to justify the current asking price.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Links: As the property is outside Dublin, direct access to Luas, DART, or specific Dublin Bus routes is unlikely; residents would rely on local bus services and private transport.
Kilkenny City Proximity: The property's location in Co. Kilkenny suggests access to amenities such as St. Canice's Primary School, Kilkenny College, St. Luke's Hospital, and local shopping facilities within Kilkenny city.
Local Walkability: While specific walking routes are not detailed, Rath Ullord's likely suburban nature implies pedestrian access to local parks and potentially neighbourhood shops might be available.
Hypothesis: The property's 'Outside Dublin' designation suggests a reliance on private transport and local Kilkenny city amenities, meaning its value is more intrinsically tied to local Kilkenny infrastructure and lifestyle appeal rather than commuter convenience to a major metropolitan hub, a factor that may not be fully reflected in its premium asking price.
