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
Energy Efficiency Advantage: With a B3 BER rating, this apartment offers excellent energy efficiency, with estimated annual energy costs around €800-€1,200, significantly lower than the €1,800-€2,200 for typical D-rated properties of similar size.
Generous Living Space: This 120m² apartment is classified as 'Large', providing exceptionally spacious living for a 2-bedroom property, offering more room than many 3-bedroom houses that are the median in the 5km local area.
Modern Amenity Potential: Although the property has 1 bathroom while the local 5km median is 3 baths, its substantial 120m² size and B3 BER rating provide an ideal foundation for potential layout optimisation, such as adding an en-suite, without compromising overall living space.
Hypothesis: Future-Proofed Investment: The combination of a strong B3 BER, large internal area for its bedroom count, and modern build potential suggests this property is well-positioned to attract premium renters or buyers seeking efficiency and space, making it a resilient investment against rising energy costs and evolving living standards.
