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 Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a worthwhile investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: At 78m², this 3-bedroom terrace offers a medium-sized footprint, comparable to the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the 100km radius, suggesting a standard but potentially less spacious configuration than some higher-value local properties.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades from a D2 BER rating could significantly improve long-term running costs, estimated at €1,800-€2,200 annually compared to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size, and enhance market appeal.
- Hypothesis: Given the prevalence of 2 bathrooms in the median sales within 10km (2.0 baths) and 100km (2.0 baths) radius, the single bathroom in this property represents a significant constraint on its potential value and broader market appeal, suggesting that a future extension or renovation to add a second bathroom could unlock a substantial uplift in property value, potentially adding €20,000-€30,000 to its market worth.
Amenities
Connectivity Hub: Ballinaboy is served by Bus Eireann route 220 providing direct links to Cork City Centre, with further connectivity via the 215 route to UCC and other key Cork locations.
Details
- Local Services Cluster: Within a short walk, residents have access to Scoil Naomh Eoin (primary school), Ballincollig Pharmacy, and The Orchard Bar & Restaurant, indicating a well-serviced local environment.
- Green Space Access: The property is within walking distance of the Ballincollig Regional Park, offering extensive walking trails and recreational facilities, enhancing lifestyle and outdoor activity opportunities.
- Hypothesis: The strategic location of Ballincollig, directly west of Cork City and undergoing significant infrastructure development including new road networks and public transport enhancements, points towards a future increase in property value driven by improved commuter access and a growing resident population seeking a balance between urban proximity and suburban tranquility.
