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 Advantage: With a B3 BER rating, this apartment is positioned favorably against lower-rated properties; annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,200-€1,600, compared to €2,000-€2,600 for D-rated properties of similar size.
Size Efficiency: At 72m², this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment offers a good space ratio, with 36m² per bedroom, aligning with typical modern apartment configurations for this unit mix.
Value Optimization Potential: While the BER is B3, upgrading to a B1 or A-rated BER could cost an estimated €5,000-€8,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €10,000-€15,000 and further reducing annual energy expenses by €200-€400.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating, while good, is a standard for the area and could be a missed opportunity for further value enhancement; a targeted investment into higher efficiency heating systems or insulation could not only yield immediate savings but also provide a competitive edge in an increasingly eco-conscious market, potentially increasing rental yields or resale value by up to 5%.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The area is served by Bus Eireann routes 215 and 226, providing direct links to Cork City Centre and Mahon Point Shopping Centre.
Local Lifestyle Hub: Proximity to Mahon Point Shopping Centre (1.5km) offers extensive retail options including Dunnes Stores and Marks & Spencer, along with numerous cafes and restaurants such as Costa Coffee and Nando's.
Healthcare Access: Cork University Hospital is approximately 5km away, and local pharmacies like Sam McCauley Chemists are readily accessible within a 2km radius.
Hypothesis: The strategic location of Jacob's Island, with its direct bus links to Cork City Centre and Mahon Point, combined with its positioning on the periphery of major healthcare facilities, suggests a deliberate urban planning strategy aimed at creating a self-sufficient residential hub that balances convenience with accessibility, likely to see increased demand from young professionals and families seeking a well-connected yet less dense living environment.
