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: With a G BER rating, this property is at the lowest energy efficiency level, likely incurring significantly higher annual energy costs, estimated to be €2,500-€3,500 more than a property with a B2 rating.
Details
- Renovation Investment: Upgrading this property's BER from G to a B2 standard would likely cost between €15,000-€25,000 for insulation, heating system, and window upgrades, but could potentially increase its market value by €30,000-€45,000.
- Size Efficiency: At 30m², this property is extremely small for a 3-bedroom terrace, suggesting a cramped living space which may limit buyer appeal and market value compared to more conventionally sized homes in the area.
- Hypothesis: Given the G BER rating and the minuscule 30m² size for three bedrooms, a significant investment in energy efficiency upgrades and a potential extension or reconfiguration to optimize space would be necessary; achieving a B2 BER and a more practical layout could unlock an additional 15-20% in value compared to its current state, bringing its potential value closer to the €200,000-€240,000 range.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The property is located on Bandon Road, which is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 206 and 214, providing direct access to Cork City Centre and surrounding areas, with further connections available at the nearby Cork Kent Station.
Details
- Local Educational Facilities: Several educational institutions are within easy reach, including Scoil Phádraig Naofa (primary school) just 500m away and Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) approximately 2km distant.
- Healthcare and Retail Access: Close proximity to the Bon Secours Hospital (1.5km) and numerous local pharmacies, along with supermarkets like Lidl and SuperValu within a 1km radius, ensures convenient access to essential services.
- Hypothesis: The Bandon Road area, with its direct bus links to the city centre and proximity to educational hubs like CIT, combined with established local retail and healthcare facilities, suggests that while the property itself is small and requires significant upgrade, its location provides a strong foundation for a rental investment or for a buyer seeking convenient access to Cork's core services, potentially commanding a rental yield of 6-8% post-renovation.
