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 C3 Potential: A C3 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Efficient Living Space: At 87.0m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow offers a compact yet functional layout, averaging 29m² per bedroom, which is in line with many modern bungalows.
Value Optimization Opportunity: With a C3 BER, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,400-€1,800; achieving a B2 rating could reduce these costs by €400-€600 annually, representing a long-term saving and improved marketability.
Hypothesis: The presence of a C3 BER rating, while not top-tier, suggests that essential energy efficiency measures have been implemented, and further targeted upgrades could yield a disproportionately high return on investment in terms of both cost savings and resale value.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: No specific bus routes, Luas stops, or DART stations are directly listed as serving Prosperous, Co Kildare, W91AW26 in the provided data, suggesting reliance on private transport or local bus services with potentially longer journey times to major hubs.
Local Services Access: While specific names are not provided, Prosperous typically offers essential local amenities such as primary schools, pharmacies, and local shops, catering to daily needs.
Commuter Challenge: The lack of immediate direct public transport links to Dublin means commuters would likely face longer travel times and potential multiple changes if relying on public transport to reach the city centre.
Hypothesis: The scarcity of direct public transport options for Prosperous could be driving local property values down relative to areas with direct access to Dublin's Luas or DART lines, but this also creates a strong demand for properties with good road connectivity to major employment centres.
