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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Generous Living Space: With 153m² of living space and 4 bedrooms, this property offers substantial room, exceeding the 3-bedroom median common within 100km, aligning with a 'Very Large' size category.
- Potential Value Optimization: The asking price of €500,000 is 146% above the estimated value of €342,618, indicating that buyers may be paying a significant premium for the size and configuration, which could be optimized by aligning the price closer to its intrinsic market value or demonstrating clear value-add improvements.
- Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating, while impacting immediate running costs, presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in insulation, heating upgrades, and potentially solar panels could not only recoup the upgrade costs through increased property value but also make the property more attractive in a market where energy efficiency is increasingly a purchasing factor, especially if nearby properties with similar specifications command higher premiums.
