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
Moderate Efficiency: The BER rating of 'C' suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a 'B' rating could cost an estimated €7,000-€10,000 and potentially increase property value by €10,000-€15,000.
Energy Savings: With a 'C' BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,500-€2,000, compared to €800-€1,200 for properties with an 'A' or 'B' rating of similar size, offering potential savings of €700-€800 annually.
Optimized Space: At 64.0m², this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment offers a functional layout for its size, with efficient use of space for individuals or small families.
Hypothesis: Given the C BER rating, focusing on a targeted upgrade of insulation and heating systems, rather than a full overhaul, could provide the most cost-effective improvement in energy efficiency and value, potentially reaching a B2 rating for an investment of €8,000-€12,000 and a value uplift of €15,000-€20,000.
