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: With a D2 BER rating, strategic improvements to a B2 rating would cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000. Current annual energy costs are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for B-rated properties of similar size, offering significant long-term savings.
Details
- Efficient Layout for Size: The 75m² provides efficient living space across 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, well-suited for individuals, couples, or small families. While the local median is 3 beds, this 2-bed configuration offers a more compact and potentially lower-maintenance option.
- Renovation Potential for Value: As a terraced property in Waterford City Centre, there is significant scope for internal modernization and aesthetic upgrades to enhance its appeal. Investing in contemporary finishes and optimizing the layout could significantly boost its market value and desirability, complementing any energy efficiency upgrades.
- Hypothesis: Proactive investment in both energy efficiency and modern interior design will differentiate this property in the market, attracting a broader range of buyers and potentially commanding a higher sale price than the estimated value, especially given the current underpriced listing.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Connectivity: Situated in Waterford City Centre, the property benefits from strong public transport links, including various Bus Éireann city and inter-city routes (e.g., local city services, routes connecting to Dublin/Cork) operating from the nearby Waterford Bus Station, typically within a 1km radius. Waterford Plunkett Train Station also offers convenient rail access for regional travel.
Details
- Diverse Lifestyle Facilities: The immediate area provides excellent educational and retail amenities. Reputable primary and secondary schools such as De La Salle College and Presentation Secondary School are generally within a 2km radius. Major retail hubs like City Square Shopping Centre and Dunnes Stores are readily accessible within the city centre.
- High Walkability for Daily Needs: The property boasts high walkability, with numerous shops, restaurants, cafes, and essential services along O'Connell Street, John Roberts Square, and surrounding streets all within a 5-10 minute walk. People's Park, a significant urban green space, is also easily accessible for recreation and leisure activities.
- Hypothesis: Continued investment in public realm improvements and the expansion of local amenities within Waterford City Centre will further enhance the convenience and quality of life for residents, bolstering the long-term desirability and value of this property.
