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
Efficient Energy Performance: With a C3 BER rating, this property's estimated annual energy costs are in the range of €1,200-€1,600, offering potential annual savings of €200-€1,000 compared to a typical D-rated property of similar size, which might incur costs of €1,800-€2,200.
Details
- Compact City Living: The 59m² apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is efficiently configured for city centre living, offering two bathrooms which aligns with the median 2 bathrooms in the 5km radius for recent sales, enhancing its appeal for urban dwellers or small families.
- Value-Adding Bathroom Configuration: While the property's 2-bedroom count is lower than the 3-bedroom median for sales in the 5km radius, its inclusion of two bathrooms matches the local median, providing a desirable amenity that enhances its market appeal and functional value.
- Hypothesis: Given its C3 BER, a targeted investment of €3,000-€5,000 in further energy efficiency upgrades, such as improved insulation or a more efficient heating system, could elevate the BER to a B-rating, potentially adding €8,000-€10,000 to the property's value and further reducing running costs, thereby increasing its competitiveness and buyer interest.
Amenities
Exceptional Transport Connectivity: Located directly on Grattan Quay, the property offers immediate access to Waterford Plunkett Train Station and numerous Bus Éireann services from the nearby Parnell Street Bus Stop and Quay, ensuring excellent regional and national connectivity.
Details
- Vibrant Lifestyle Hub: Residents benefit from direct access to the Viking Triangle, House of Waterford Crystal, a wide array of restaurants and cafes along The Quay and Barronstrand Street (e.g., Momo, The Reg), and major retail at City Square Shopping Centre, all within a short walk.
- Comprehensive Local Services: The property is well-served by essential facilities including University Hospital Waterford (via short bus ride) and multiple local pharmacies, with a selection of educational institutions like Mount Sion CBS Secondary School and De La Salle College within easy reach.
- Hypothesis: The property's prime location in Waterford City Centre, providing unparalleled pedestrian access to comprehensive public transport, diverse retail, cultural landmarks, and essential services, cultivates a highly desirable urban lifestyle that will consistently attract strong demand from both owner-occupiers seeking convenience and investors targeting a robust rental market.
