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: The D1 BER rating offers a tangible opportunity for value enhancement. Strategic energy efficiency upgrades to achieve a B2 rating are estimated to cost between €8,000-€12,000, but could significantly increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000. Current annual energy costs are approximately €1,800-€2,200, which could be reduced to €800-€1,200 annually with a B-rated property of this size.
Details
- Size and Space Efficiency: At 80m², this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment is a compact and efficient living space, though smaller than the 3km area average property size of 126m² (which typically features 3 bedrooms). This layout is well-suited for individuals, couples, or small families, and aligns with common apartment dimensions in the immediate vicinity.
- Optimized Layout: The property’s 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration is highly functional and sought after, providing excellent utility for its 80m² footprint. This efficient design, paired with the potential for energy efficiency upgrades, presents a clear path to maximizing both comfort and investment return.
- Hypothesis: Investing in BER upgrades will not only enhance the property's market appeal and energy efficiency but also deliver a strong return on investment by significantly increasing its valuation and reducing long-term running costs.
