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 C1 Efficiency: The C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with annual energy costs estimated to be €1,400-€1,800, compared to €900-€1,200 for B-rated properties of similar size.
Space Adequacy: At 118m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached house offers a comfortable living space that aligns with typical family needs in the area.
Value Optimization: While the current BER is acceptable, upgrading from C1 to a B2 rating could cost approximately €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, representing a sound investment for future resale.
Hypothesis: The C1 BER rating on a detached property of this size may be a minor detractor; however, with an estimated €1,400-€1,800 annual energy cost, it's still competitive. A strategic investment in insulation and heating upgrades could yield a significant return on investment beyond just energy savings, by appealing to a wider buyer pool seeking higher energy efficiency standards.
