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 D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs significantly compared to its current D2 rating.
Energy Cost Discrepancy: A D2 BER rating typically incurs annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200, whereas similar-sized properties with a B2 rating would see costs of €800-€1,200, representing an annual saving of up to €1,000.
Space Efficiency: With 88m² of living space and 3 bedrooms, the property offers a reasonable configuration, though it is 10m² smaller than the average of 98m² for semi-detached homes sold within 1km over 180 days.
Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating presents a clear investment opportunity; properties with comparable size and location but improved BER ratings (B1-B3) within a 3km radius have achieved a 5-7% higher price per square meter than this property's estimated value, suggesting a tangible uplift from energy efficiency upgrades.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: This property is serviced by Bus Eireann routes operating along the Waterford Road, providing links to Kilkenny City Centre and surrounding towns, with the nearest train station being Kilkenny Station.
Local Conveniences: Residents have convenient access to local shopping with Lidl and Supervalu supermarkets within a 2km radius, and educational facilities like Kilkenny CBS Secondary School and St. Patrick's Boys' National School nearby.
Healthcare and Leisure: Access to healthcare is provided by St. Luke's Hospital in Kilkenny (approximately 3km away), while lifestyle amenities include the Kilkenny Design Centre and numerous restaurants and cafes in the city centre, along with the expansive grounds of Kilkenny Castle Park.
Hypothesis: The positioning on Waterford Road, a key arterial route, coupled with Kilkenny's robust public transport network and the city's strong offering of historical, cultural, and retail amenities, suggests that properties in this area are highly desirable for both local residents and those seeking convenient access to regional services, potentially commanding a consistent premium.
