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

Energy Efficiency Advantage: With a C2 BER rating, this property's annual energy costs are estimated at €1,200-€1,600, offering potential savings of €200-€1,000 annually compared to typical D-rated properties of similar size in the area.
Details
- Optimal Configuration: The property's 100m² footprint with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is well-configured, notably exceeding the median of 2 bathrooms for properties sold in the 10km radius, enhancing its appeal and functionality.
- Valuable Bathroom Premium: The presence of 3 bathrooms, compared to the median of 2 bathrooms in recent sales within the 10km radius, provides a distinct advantage, potentially adding €5,000-€10,000 in perceived value and buyer appeal.
- Hypothesis: The property's modern 3-bathroom layout, combined with its favorable C2 BER, offers a strong value proposition, likely reducing buyer hesitancy around immediate upgrades and securing a higher premium compared to properties with older specifications or lower energy ratings.
