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 Rating Impact: A C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with potential annual savings of approximately €400-€600 compared to an E-rated property of similar size, though upgrades could yield greater savings.
Size Efficiency: At 92.0m² with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the duplex offers a functional layout for families, aligning with typical demands in this location.
Value Optimization: While the C1 BER rating is acceptable, investing in energy efficiency upgrades (e.g., improved insulation, window upgrades) could cost an estimated €5,000-€10,000 and potentially increase the property's market value by €7,000-€15,000, boosting its appeal.
Hypothesis: Given the C1 BER rating, a strategic investment in a higher BER, such as B2, could cost between €8,000-€12,000 and is projected to increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, making it a more attractive long-term prospect in a market increasingly valuing energy efficiency.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Douglas Road is well-served by multiple Bus Éireann routes, including routes like the 214 and 226, providing direct access to Cork City Centre and surrounding areas.
Local Amenities: Residents have convenient access to various amenities, including the shops and services at Douglas Court Shopping Centre, and healthcare providers like the South Infirmary-Victoria University Hospital.
Lifestyle and Education: The area offers a range of lifestyle amenities, from restaurants on Douglas Road to green spaces like Tramore Valley Park, and educational institutions such as Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh and Scoil Chríost Rí.
Hypothesis: The proximity to key arterial routes like the N25, combined with the availability of multiple bus services and expanding retail and healthcare facilities in Douglas, indicates a growing demand for well-connected suburban properties, potentially driving capital appreciation for properties like 8 Reeves Wood.
