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: With a D2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a clear return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: The 73.0m² terrace property with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom presents a standard configuration, but could benefit from a review of the single bathroom to optimize functionality and potential value, especially if the €250,000 asking price is to be maintained.
- Value Optimization: Given the D2 BER rating and a single bathroom, investing in energy efficiency upgrades and potentially a bathroom refurbishment could unlock significant value, especially considering the strong local market and property's low asking price relative to estimated value.
- Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating, while offering an opportunity for value-adding upgrades, suggests that the property's current energy efficiency is a significant detractor from its potential value. Investing in insulation, heating system upgrades, and potentially window replacements, costing an estimated €8,000-€12,000, could elevate the BER rating to a B2 and unlock an additional €15,000-€20,000 in market value, alongside a reduction in annual energy bills.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific route numbers are not provided, the property's location in Cork, The Lough area, is served by multiple bus routes, offering connectivity to the city centre and surrounding areas.
Details
- Local Education and Healthcare: The vicinity of The Lough in Cork likely offers access to local primary and secondary schools, as well as general practitioner clinics and pharmacies, common for established urban residential areas.
- Walkability and Green Space: The Lough itself is a significant local amenity, offering walking routes and green space, contributing to a good quality of life and walkability for residents.
- Hypothesis: The presence of The Lough as a prominent natural amenity and its positioning within a developed urban area of Cork suggest strong potential for increased property value driven by ongoing urban regeneration projects and potential improvements to public transport infrastructure, further enhancing its desirability.
