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
B3 BER Energy Efficiency: This property has a B3 BER rating, indicating good energy performance and potential for moderate energy cost savings compared to lower-rated homes.
Details
- Optimised Size: At 107.0m², this detached house offers a comfortable living space, aligning with the 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which is a desirable configuration.
- BER Upgrade Potential: While B3 is good, upgrading to an A2 rating could theoretically save €400-€1,000 annually on energy costs compared to this property's B3 rating, and a D-rated property of similar size would cost €1,000-€1,400 more annually.
- Hypothesis: The presence of a B3 BER rating suggests the property has likely undergone recent upgrades or was built to modern standards, and further investment in solar panels or enhanced insulation could push it to an A rating, potentially increasing its value by €10,000-€15,000 based on local market premiums for top-tier energy efficiency.
Amenities
Regional Transport Hub: While specific local routes are not detailed, the property's location 'Outside Dublin' implies reliance on regional bus services and potential access to nearby towns for train connections like Kilmacow or Waterford City.
Details
- Local Services Access: Portlaw is known to have essential amenities such as primary schools (e.g., St. Declan's National School) and local shops, providing for daily needs within a reasonable distance.
- Healthcare Proximity: Waterford University Hospital is located approximately 15-20km away, offering comprehensive healthcare services for residents, with smaller local clinics potentially available closer.
- Hypothesis: The area's 'Outside Dublin' classification suggests a focus on community-based amenities rather than high-density urban services, implying that future value appreciation may be more closely tied to local infrastructure investment and any planned improvements to regional transport links rather than rapid urbanisation.
