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: Upgrading the C3 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Energy Cost Comparison: A C3 BER rating means annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,500-€1,900, compared to €800-€1,200 for properties with an A2 rating of similar size.
Space Efficiency: With 120m² across 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property offers a reasonable density of 40m² per bedroom, which is typical for its type and size in this market.
Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER rating and single bathroom configuration, there is a significant opportunity to enhance the property's appeal and long-term value by investing in energy efficiency upgrades and potentially a second bathroom, as properties with improved BER ratings and better amenity configurations within the local area are likely commanding a premium of 5-10%.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Portlaoise is served by national and local bus services connecting to other towns and cities, and the property is located approximately 2km from Portlaoise train station, offering rail access to Dublin and other major centers.
Local Educational Facilities: The area is supported by educational institutions such as Scoil Bhríde Primary School and St. Mary's Secondary School, both within a 2km radius, catering to family needs.
Healthcare and Retail Access: Residents have access to Portlaoise General Hospital (approx. 2.5km away) and a range of retail options including Dunnes Stores and the Kyle Centre shopping area, all within a 3km radius.
Hypothesis: The property's value and attractiveness to a wider buyer pool could be significantly enhanced by improved local infrastructure, such as more frequent direct bus routes to key employment hubs or closer proximity to essential retail and family services, which are currently concentrated around the town centre rather than evenly distributed within residential areas like Rossvale.
