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 'E' BER rating, this 138m² property presents a significant upgrade opportunity; improving to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €10,000-€18,000 but potentially increase property value by €15,000-€30,000.
Details
- Energy Cost Savings Potential: Upgrading the BER from 'E' to 'B2' could reduce annual energy costs by €700-€1,200, compared to the estimated €1,800-€2,200 annually for an 'E'-rated semi-detached property of this size.
- Optimal Size & Configuration: At 138m² with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a generous living space that aligns perfectly with the local median of 3 beds and 2 baths, indicating a desirable configuration for the area.
- Hypothesis: The 'E' BER rating, while a current drawback, could be a strategic advantage for a buyer looking to invest in energy efficiency upgrades, as these improvements are increasingly valued by future buyers and could unlock higher financing options.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Access: Located on Shelbourne Road, the property benefits from direct access to Bus Éireann routes such as 301, 302, and 304, providing swift connections to Limerick City Centre (approx. 2km) and Limerick Colbert Station (approx. 2.5km) for intercity rail services.
Details
- Comprehensive Lifestyle Hub: The area boasts a rich array of amenities, including education at Ardscoil Rís (approx. 1km), shopping at Jetland Shopping Centre (approx. 1.5km), and recreational options like Shelbourne Park (approx. 500m) and Thomond Park (approx. 1km).
- Family-Friendly Convenience: With St. Michael's National School (approx. 1.5km) and multiple local pharmacies like O'Connor's Pharmacy (approx. 500m) within easy reach, coupled with good pedestrian infrastructure along Shelbourne Road, the location offers exceptional convenience for families.
- Hypothesis: Ongoing investment in Limerick's urban infrastructure and public transport network, particularly around key arterial routes like Shelbourne Road, is likely to further enhance connectivity and drive property values in this already desirable and well-served residential area.
