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 Upgrade Opportunity: With an unknown BER rating (SI_666), this property likely requires significant energy efficiency upgrades; improving from a low rating to B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Annual Energy Savings: Assuming its unknown BER is equivalent to a D-rated property, current annual energy costs could be €1,800-€2,200, but upgrading to a B-rating could potentially save €1,000-€1,400 annually, representing a sound long-term investment.
- Generous Floor Area: At 120m², this terrace property is classified as 'Large', offering substantial living space despite being a 2-bedroom home, which is notable compared to the area's median of 3 bedrooms for properties sold in the last 180 days within 5km.
- Hypothesis: Despite its current 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration being below the local median for beds and baths, the property's generous 120m² footprint presents an excellent opportunity for strategic internal reconfiguration, potentially allowing for the addition of an extra bedroom or bathroom to align better with local market preferences and enhance its overall value.
Amenities
Regional Bus Connectivity: Birr is well-connected by Bus Éireann, including Route 72, which links Limerick to Athlone, providing crucial regional transport links and commuter options for residents.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Services: The property benefits from strong access to essential services, including local schools like Birr National School and St. Brendan's Community School, along with healthcare facilities such as Birr Primary Care Centre and pharmacies like Molloy's Pharmacy.
- Walkable Town Centre: Located directly on High Street, the property offers excellent walkability, providing immediate pedestrian access to Birr's vibrant town centre amenities, including SuperValu, Tesco, and Lidl supermarkets, as well as cultural landmarks like Birr Castle Demesne and Birr Theatre & Arts Centre.
- Hypothesis: Birr's unique blend of historical significance, evident in Birr Castle Demesne, combined with a robust offering of modern retail, educational, and healthcare services, positions it as a highly attractive and self-sufficient town, fostering a strong community appeal that underpins property values and quality of life for its residents.
