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 C2 Value Proposition: With a C2 BER rating, energy cost savings are likely around €800-€1,200 annually compared to an F-rated property of similar size, offering a moderate advantage in running costs.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 70.0m², the property offers a compact living space, which is comparable to the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms seen in the wider market data, suggesting efficient use of space for its size.
- Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the C2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €9,000-€14,000, representing a sound investment for enhanced energy efficiency.
- Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while offering some energy efficiency, presents a clear opportunity for value enhancement through targeted insulation and heating upgrades, which could unlock further capital growth and appeal to energy-conscious buyers, especially given the strong local market demand for quality homes.
