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
Significant BER Upgrade Needed: With an E2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €18,000-€25,000 by enhancing energy efficiency and market appeal.
Suboptimal Space for Value: While the property offers 112.0m², the 1.0 bathroom for 4 bedrooms presents a functional constraint that may limit its appeal and resale value compared to properties with more bathrooms in similar price brackets.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Investing approximately €10,000-€15,000 to improve the E2 BER rating to a B2 could unlock an estimated €18,000-€25,000 in added property value, representing a strong return on investment for future owners.
Hypothesis: The combination of an E2 BER rating and a single bathroom for four bedrooms suggests that the property is priced below its potential if significant capital investment in energy efficiency and bathroom additions were made, hinting that a buyer focused on renovations could achieve substantial equity growth.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Reach: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops mentioned as serving Cappa Drive, Cappa, Kilrush, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Local Services Availability: Kilrush offers basic amenities including supermarkets like Tesco and Aldi, and a few local eateries, but lacks a wide range of retail and dining options typically found in larger towns or cities.
Community Focus: While specific childcare facilities aren't listed, Kilrush has primary schools such as Kilrush National School and secondary options like Kilrush Community College, suggesting a family-oriented community with core educational services.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links from Cappa Drive to major employment hubs or city centres, coupled with the limited retail and lifestyle amenities within Kilrush itself, suggests that properties in this specific location appeal more to those seeking a quieter, rural lifestyle rather than daily commuters or those prioritizing urban convenience.
