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 Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a solid return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With a size of 105.0m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow offers a good balance of space for its configuration, aligning with the median 3 beds and 2 baths found in the wider market.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the D2 BER, annual energy costs are likely to be in the region of €1,800-€2,200; strategic upgrades to a B2 rating could reduce these costs by €1,000-€1,400 annually.
- Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating is a significant factor impacting immediate value and ongoing costs; however, it also presents a clear pathway for value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency upgrades that could make the property more competitive and attractive to future buyers compared to properties with higher BER ratings in similar price brackets.
Amenities
Limited Direct Connectivity: As a property outside Dublin, specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations serving P72ED92 directly are not detailed in the provided data, suggesting a reliance on private transport or local bus services.
Details
- Local Services Accessibility: While specific details for Bandon are not provided, a typical town of its size would likely offer a range of services including supermarkets like SuperValu or Dunnes Stores, and potentially primary schools such as Scoil Phobail Bheanntraí and secondary schools like Coláiste na Toirbhí.
- Potential for Car Dependency: Given the 'Outside Dublin' classification and lack of specific public transport route data, the property's location likely necessitates car ownership for convenient access to healthcare facilities, shopping centres like Munster Market Bandon, and lifestyle amenities such as local restaurants and parks.
- Hypothesis: The lack of detailed public transport information for this specific address suggests that its value proposition will be heavily influenced by its proximity to essential local services and the quality of the road network connecting it to Bandon town and larger hubs like Cork City, meaning any planned infrastructure developments or transport improvements in the Bandon area could significantly impact its future desirability and value.
